New Guitar

[lectric]

Brand new Gretsch G5120. Me very happy.

Congrats

I've got Fender and Gibson bases well and truly covered, but that Gretsch sound is ... wow! Lovely tone.

And that bigsby - yum... I've been learning (or trying to learn) to do the same sort of thing on a strat.

Sounds like you might have had some severe noise suppression switched on when you recorded the guitar - fine once the drums got going, but that's what was making the strange effects on the guitar at the start.

Nice post - I reckon more of us ought to do this sort of thing (capture that "yeah!!" moment for posterity) when we get new guitars!

That sounds incredible.  Apparently a big ol Gretsch was what Neil Young recorded most of his new album with, all that wonderful full sound he got.

Congrts! - Sounds great 'lectric!

What are you playing it through?
And  - what are you playing at 2:20? That sounds very familiar to me (my old man used to listen to stuff like this when I was a kid)
