Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Excellent construction and solid components. I look forward to owning this for a very long time! Reliability How has it stood up over time? Even thoe I have had it for a short time I am sure it will last. Overall Your general opinion of this product. Best Electromatic to date and built to play. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? This guitar is not heavy, just a bit bigger in the body. The neck is perfect and smooth to get around on. All controls are the same as any other gretsch. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? The pick ups sound amazing out of the box. Not too much high end from what I thought it would be. Excellent with a big verb and echo or just some distortion. Best of any style you may want to play. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? The look of the guitar is great. Baldwin Era tail piece is flawless against that flat black look. Action How was the action out of the box? Gretsch is great getting it pretty much there! Just had to remove the foam under the bridge and finish intonating.

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? made better than my japanese gretsch. Reliability How has it stood up over time? Just got it. Overall Your general opinion of this product. One of the nicest hollowbodies I've ever owned. This is definitely not your standard Electromatic. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? slim, fast neck. good action for a hollowbody. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Classic Gretsch tone. Sounds a bit different than my Terada factory 6120, but still sounds great. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? near perfect finish. slight imperfection on bass side neck binding. Action How was the action out of the box? Needed minor setup.
