yoda Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 I'm looking at getting a Gretsch G5120 guitar, I was wondering which color you guys think is the best. Right now I'm leaning toward orange. I like bursts, and black is always a cool color; so I can't decide which color to get, I like them all. If it came in white, it would be a no brainer. Thanks. Here is the guitar if you want to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre S Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Black for sure, but I know some people don't like having black guitars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bol316 Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Black guitars are great. Prolly my fav guitar color Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstMeasure Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 I voted Orange, you should always go with your Gut. Besides, Gretch's look *****en orange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichCI Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Absolutely, definitely, without a doubt orange. I *love* that finish on Gretsch hollowbodies. My Les Paul is black and, while that's cool, it shows all the fingerprints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoConMan Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Black guitars are great. Prolly my fav guitar color You've obviously never owned a black guitar with a nitro finish. You'll only do it once. Well' date=' [i']most people[/i] would only do it once... you seem to be a little different! [biggrin]/ Yoda, Gretsch's look cool as hell in orange! I think you're on the right track. (Especially the comment about white - I love white on guitars!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L5Larry Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Gretschs are SUPPOSED to be ORANGE, just like Gibsons are supposed to be sunburst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shnate McDuanus Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 I want to say get one of each--I really do, but I know it's probably not gonna happen...yet... So, I say go with the orange. Those look especially great in orange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Natural Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Yoda, that orange is the classic Gretsch finish. You're leaning the right way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milod Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Yoda... Biggest mistake I made was swapping an orange Gretsch I'd almost "stolen" because it wasn't a popular instrument at the time and didn't look "right" for the band I was playing in at the time. Stupid. Gretsch "is" orange. A 335 or whatever, black. A Gretsch, orange. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Well if I had to choose for me I'd go with orange. I can't explain why but it looks almost supernaturally cool... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrosurfer1959 Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Orange - every Gretsch up until the last one was the orange color or the natural walnut stain of the Country Gentleman model but by far orange is a great classic color. My newest Brian Setzer is green and I've always hated green until this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowdown Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Yep. Duane Eddy orange all the way. Black looks cool too,if you're not worried about the scratches and scuffs. But it's all part and parcel,unless you need a show pony,and you're a player anyway aren't you Yoda? But personally,ORANGE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermes Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I'm a fan of sunburst, fireburst..but I don't like the sunburst in that model. Neither the black, I don't know why but the black color on Gretsch made them look like plastic, so IMO go for the orange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
