Victim of GAS attack - ordered Gretsch G2622T Streamliner

[AndyR]

I knew I'd seen a G2622T on here somewhere!

So it's all your fault des0free!

I took delivery of one of the updated ones a couple of days ago.

It's gone up bit in price but still CRAZY value.
The only changes in spec I can tell are:
Different colours (this is Steel Olive, a lovely sparkly colour).
Fretboard inlays changed.
Knobs changed.
The Master Volume is a push-pull now, it coil taps the Broadtrons.

Fantastic guitar and would be at 3 or 4 times the price.

Congratulations, Andy - and with a Bigsby, too - sweet!

Keith has a Gretsch G5420T and I love that guitar.....these Gretsch's are fantastic for the money...they sound so good and play so nicely......

In these parts there's always a whiff of gas hanging in the air.

The worst specimens amongst us have even turned into gear junkies...

A mighty fine guitar that shall serve you well!

Congrats, it's also a beautiful color.  I've enjoyed mine, although I haven't really bonded with the Bigsby yet; I have no experience using tremolo (I have a squier strat, but removed the tremolo at some point...).  But, it does help balance the guitar so it is less neck heavy.  The guitar plays well and stays in tune pretty well.  They were blowing them out at lower and lower prices, I guess due to new models coming out.

My friend Aidan just got this exact model a few months and he loves it. It's his main guitar now, I've played it a decent amount too and it is very very nice. It's certainly punches above it's weight.
