So there we were, Gretsch cases strewn all around the place, open for all to see their kitch-tastic contents. Amid the endless 'oohs' and 'ahhs' and while people contemplated all kinds of financial peril to own one, there was more serious business at hand. It wasn't wondering whether model Kimberley Holladay really could pull off that 7#9 chord, nor was it whether gold- or silver-sparkle binding goes best with a black stage suit. No, this issue's main question: just what does a thinline, centre-block design bring to a semi-acoustic Gretsch?
Fully hollow 6120s, Gents and Falcons are among the most iconic guitars of all time, but there's no doubt they're an acquired taste and can be vary hard to live with. So, in what seems to be one of those no-brainer, should-have-done-it-50-years-ago ideas, Gretsch has released a new range of guitars with a solid lump of wood through their middles, slimmed bodies and updated hardware for practicality's sake. What do we think? Find out in Guitarist issue 372, on sale in print and digital formats on 23 August 2013.
