Great guitars. Have had a couple of them. Simple. Easy to play. And they rock. Always a great price - but if you can grab one on a bit of a sale... an absolute steal. You can't go wrong with one of these - or with a Gretsch Guitar, for that matter.

Couldn’t agree more. I have the same guitar in metallic mint blue. In fact, all of Gretsch‘s Streamliner and Electromatics are fantastic guitars period, not just great values. Probably the best name brand import line along with G&L’s Tribute line. IMO better than PRS SE and Squier, and those are two of the best import lines from any major manufacturer.

Great score!! I had an older Electromatic and while it was a good guitar, I just couldn't bond with it and believe me, I tried. I learned later that Electromatic was lowest tier of Gretsch. It just wasn't for me, and that's OK. I'm glad you're happy with yours - may it bring you many hours of playing enjoyment!

Very Cool, Thankyou Joe. I SO wish I could get this deal in Australia ...(boo hoo hoo). Truly stunning Guitar, I have 3 Gretsch Electromatic Guitars, one being a Gretsch G5215 Black, Single Cut, Single Pick-up Rock Machine similar to this guitar with just Bridge 'Humbucker'. This Gretsch 2215 with the stunning 'Barrel Stain' finish would 'complete' my Gretsch collection. All the Best. Cheers

This is a very cool guitar and I agree with all points in your summary. I have three Epi Specials already, one has P90s, and I'm very happy with them but wish one of them was this Gretsch instead. Might do something about it this Christmas. Or this week- ha! Seriously, I spent $200 at the grocery today to eat for the next couple weeks and I'm single, living alone. I could economize and not eat out for a few weeks and pay for this guitar pretty easily. Very nicely built, sounds great to me. Plus the cool factor. The vol pot location is a bit funky- that's where the master vol is on upline Gretsch models with dual pickup volumes. On this model I'd swap the pot locations and have the volume by the bridge since I work the volume way more than the tone.

@@AJgeartalk Yeah, not holding my breath on grocery prices. Good time for guitar deals though. I've scored a couple nice pawn shop finds this year, last was an '04 Squier Strat hardtail made by Samick, very nice, plays fantastic. Gave $90 and put another $30 in it for brass bridge saddles and new strings. Cleanup, setup, now it's a keeper. IMO it's as good as a MIM Player. But last retail deal was from GC on the Guild cutaway acoustic you featured back in the winter. That was a steal, thanks again! You be well too, you're looking healthy and happy lately.

Reverb guitars are all priced as if they unique collectible instruments. Some are. Some of the prices asked are above current retail for new instruments. I think Reverb causes local sellers on Marketplace and Craigslist to grossly overestimate what the guitars they are selling are worth, and that leads to unrealistic pricing and no sale.

I just bought an Ibanez Talman bass from Adorama for $169, no real issues with the bass that my rudimentary guitar setup skills couldn't handle. Needed to adjust string height and a small truss rod adjustment. I think it was on sale as it's kind of a weird color, so maybe it sat in a warehouse for some time. Oh and the rosewood fingerboard needed oil badly. Otherwise it's great and I'm really happy with it.

Very nice guitar at a great price. Only negative is that there is limited facility to dial in the intonation on bridges like this. Obviously not a deal killer. I have a full size jazz guitar that uses the Gretsch master volume setup. I'd jump on this if I didn't have a real problem right now with guitars filling all the walls.

I don't mind putting in some work in the guitar to make it play well. Heck, for me, working on the guitar is more interesting than playing it. I think that guitar is priced where it should be, especially when they have to compete with non branded guitars with similar quality at that price range. These businesses are overstock on guitars and have to price cut them, and still can't sell them. I guess its just too plain looking compared to a les Paul.
