It's cheap and pretty, sounds alright. Not the best but honestly pretty good once dialed in, like any guitar really. Very tempting to pick one up, nice simple stripped down rocker, sounds alright clean. Thank you for being honest about the quality of the guitar, many reviewers just shower it with sugar coating. It is a budget machine, something's gotta give
Being honest is the only logical approach. The guitar is really fun
You can switch out the pickups, but other than that, lots of guitar for the money.
Great review, thank you. I have the white/cream model with matching headstock. Beautifully set-up, and just a great-looking, no-nonsense rock machine. Very solid build, and much more interesting than many of the Les Paul-style guitars in its price range. I'd have this over an Epiphone Les Paul any day.
A better description is "inexpensive". Not everyone can spend $2000 for a guitar. If it plays good who cares if it cost $300.
Agreed!
I couldn’t agree more😊👍
Ditto
Just bought one.
I'm impressed
I just got a similar model with the P90 in the neck. I’m loving it. It has a great feel to it, and the P90 is well suited for it. The bridge is a little disappointing, but the middle position puts a smile on my face. I didn’t have any tuning stability issues once I put fresh strings on it. Even though I’m used to playing a Gibson Les Paul, I have no real complaints about the Gretsch.
Right on!
i have the same guitar with p90 neck. is a great guitar, I think the same that you , bridge humbuker is not good. no problem ..i buy a new humbucker and change it. I'm not a lutthier but i havee cahnged a lot of pickups on my life.. this guitar is a nightmare with 3 little individual cavities...impossible for a simple human ...and with this cost i dont want pay a lutiher for change the humbucker.. conclusion... only usue p90 and middle position
@@macauley70 You can also experiment with the pickup height of the bridge humbucker. There should be a sweet spot to balance it in terms of volume.
Neck P90 for Clean/Crunch - Try the Bridge for HiGain Stuff 😎 5150 Baby and screw it right under the Strings 💥
@@bushcry1 or just roll the volume off a little before you start playing so you can have a little boost when you want it
From Leo: I bought a Jet Club 4 years ago when they were that price. Kind of plain compared to most Gretsch guitars, but it has been a solid and versatile player. I have no problem with staying in tune. The thumb nail inlays do work perfectly. It IS a Gretsch, not the same as any other brand. LIke you, I first thought I would want to change the "BroadTron" pickups, but once I got used to setting the amp differently from other humbuckers, the pickups are really pretty good. (don't forget height adjustments)
Beautiful guitar. You can also put a Bigsby on it and you have a classic beautiful guitar. I don't know what kind of filtertron pickups they are but the filtertrons of the Harley Benton TE-90FLT has a more terrific sound (Rosswell pickups) than those on the Gretch.
There are other Gretsch videos. I think the big hair got my attention. You just have to file the burs out of the slots in the nut and lube them with some kind of nut sauce, if you want these to hold tune. I like powdered graphite, like what people use on door locks. Get a tiny file online specifically for that, if you want. Watch a video. It may have been shipped with cheap strings aswel. It's just a given to change them out. It is a pretty good all around instrument, with unique character, for not much money. Its all about the nut, A simple fix for anyone.
I just bought the club white one.
I'm stoked
A very helpful vid thx. Cool guitar design. It appears to be a beautifully styled guitar with decent sound - especially considering the price. I am glad they issued these. I actually like the stock sounds. Worth getting one for fun, and look…just tweak the pedal for sound. Maybe replace the nut for tuning. Seems one can’t go wrong, for the price. Cheers.
Glad it was helpful!
I have on of these. It's plays awesome for $299. Put in a Duncan Distortion and a TV Jones out from some other guitars. Sounds awesome but do not match at all. Made my own pick guard to match the head stock too. It's my throw around the house and let everyone play it guitar. Just a lot of fun
Thats the feeling i got - a fun guitar!
I feel like for the money this seems like a solid guitar! My PRS SE245 had a noisy switch too and I paid 750 US!
I've had to replace the switch twice on the 245, and that's with leaving it in centre when not in use.
@@kmckinlay8070 I don't doubt it. Mine was DOA from the factory. The tech who replaced it said it's super common.
Definitely a solid and slightly quirky choice!
Nice demo and love the sneakers.
I like the Broad'trons, they're medium/low output so not too dark like most humbuckers. I had the G2215-P90 and the P90 was really hot which made it a pain when you only have a single volume knob.
You can raise the broadtrons so the volume output matches the P90
I was thinking about getting one of these. cheers.
You are welcome!
I love Chet Atkins, Duane Eddy and Billy Gibbons. This guitar floats my boat
Love anything Gretsch! 😍
I have a streamliner with broadtrons. The bridge is indeed .great for classic rock. The neck on the other hand gaves you allmost acoustic tones. Wich makes it a very versatile guitar.
Also of you set the amp on the edge of breakup and use the guitarknob for clean tones you can play incredibly dynamic by switching pickups.
Playing foo fighters while using one guitar gets a lot easyer that way.
I like Gretsch. I like Affordable. What's not to like?
The strings were probably not stretched well, but I usually slap Grovers on all my cheap axes right out of the box.
i did stretch the strings before shooting but they still hadnt settled.
@@TheGuitarGeek I used to carelessly overlook the importance of properly stretching out strings, and it really does save on some overall tuning sanity within the life of the strings.
One of my first guitars I spent a lot of time with had a Buzz Feiten "tuning system" compensated nut, and once I parted ways with it and acquired other guitars? Bloody hell! Tuning stability, a compounding fondness for SG's & LP's styles, combined with my misconceptions of wanting it to be close to an "exact science" I had previously experienced?! Nearly drove me stark raving mad! LMAO! I've actually pondered of installing either the Buzz or Earvana compensated nuts with an additional String Butler on at least one of my 3 "Big G" scaled guitars.
Come to think of it? That would potentially make for some good content IMO.
Jeez! Again I have habitually made yet again, a ridiculously looong comment! LMAO!
Cheers Andy, and tell Henning he better buy those swimming trunks I PM'd him!
: )
Nice demo. I've got the GG-2215 with the P-90 in mint metallic. Great looking and sounding guitar.
Love gretsch guitars I have the double jet in maple for that malcolm young sound and it's so smooth to play
I've thinking them myself lately. I played one for the first time a couple weeks ago and it felt great.
I need more Gretsch in my live
That’s a lovely guitar Andy. The pickups did sound a bit harsh. I found the broadtrons on my G5220 were the same and had to be lowered significantly and they were much much sweeter. Those tuners would have to go though. Very interesting Andy. Cheers 😀😀👍
Nice one! Didn't know you had a Gretsch!
Hey guys GC currently has this guitar on sale for $250 as of 2/18/23, but only in dark Cherry metallic
I have the bass equivalent - an equally lengthy name: the G2220 Electromatic Jet Junior Short Scale - and (to coin a phrase) I'm loving it. Similar sort of price, similar sort of spec, but with the added cachet of having been Mike Kerr's (Royal Blood) go-to before Fender paid him gazillions to play a Jaguar. These are serious guitars for the money and highly recommended.
I would love to try that bass Gretsch.
@@TheGuitarGeek It's absolutely amazing with flats on!
I have had this guitar since December. Great Guitar 4 the $. Mine is in Gunmetal
I haven't seen many gold ones. I would take this in a heartbeat
That guitar sounds best with that Yellow Boss pedal. That EHX pedal also piqued my interest.
The EHX glove was a shock for me too
I have something for Gretsch guitars. Your voice reminded me of the great Kevin Ayers
Wow, thanks!
I want it
my harley benton dc jr is hard to play sitting down , thinking about this for a replacement
Hi.. Can you please let me know what adjustable bridge would fit directly on there.... one of the ones from Thomann if you can see one on the site... would be grateful. I want to order one with the Gretsch G2210 Streaml. Jr. Jet Club VW. Thanks
Great review ..... I want a Gretsch but I think I need to aim a little higher maybe
This could be a sofa guitar... ;)
@@TheGuitarGeek Maybe I could add it to the pile of sofa guitars... after the divorce of course...
Cheers from NY Andy! Sounds like dem tooners ain't dat good! Not really bad for a cheap
electric guitar though. Thanks for the vid Andy. :-)
No worries! Maybe with a bit of string tweaking it would be better.
Very useable pickups my opinion. What do you expect for a budget axe. You do get what you pay for. Get it set up and put 11s on it and you’re good to go!
Hey man I got it recently and being the idiot that I am,
After years and years of guitar playing I just found out about something called Intonation.
I’ve gotten frustrated trying to intonate the guitar but no matter what I do with it it won’t intonate by adjusting the two L screws.
Please could you help me figure out how to intonate this beauty?
Thanks a lot mate.
Anyone can compare? I have played almost exclusively Harley Bentons (HB35, EX76), how does this compare in terms of guitar quality? i would like to step in a slightly better guitar, was decied for Epi SG, but when I hear Greatsch Streamliner (Broadtron/P90) I was sold halfway. Just not a big fan of single cut bodies.
I have also played a lot of HBs. I would compare this to one of the higher priced HBs.
@@TheGuitarGeek thanks for the feedback, appreciated 👍, thanks for a great channel too!
@@LookieChannel you’re welcome!
As an English speaker, I did chuckle that klang means sound. Me trying to make sweet music is quite literally gross klang.
It is fun to say. Klangfarbe means the colour of sound which translates to timbre which is French but we use it in English. English is weird.
To be honest? You sold me on an EHX Glove more. Ha!
ahahaha, me too!
@@TheGuitarGeek I'm starting to view it as a much overlooked MIAB pedal. Anderton's may have played a roll in that assessment. NaRf!
LMAO!
Hello, may it fit to worship song ?
I don’t see why not!
"Like Ibanez... but with real woods..." 😂 Wood snob! Mother Earth! I'm only kidding. I'm in the process of finding my next acoustic in the $1K-2K range, and the back/side wood offerings are truly an education in sustainability and affordability. A confusing education, like a geography lesson on the terrain and cultures of Terra Incognita. "There be dragons... and mutenye"
Real WORDS!!! Blast my accent.
@@TheGuitarGeek ah! My bad. I might start using Ibanez guitar names as passwords. Just throw in the odd special character. Seriously, though. I have no idea what a lot of these new woods sound like in the wild. Will they hold up over the years like mahogany or rosewood? Will they sprout mouths and legs and declare themselves the scions of the Ents?
U play good.
Thanks
I think to get this but how can
I intonate this?
Loosen the strings and move the tailpiece back or forward using those two screws. It’s not perfectly intonatable but you can get close
Can I play in drop D and drop C configuration with this guitar?
Sure! Dropped c would need thicker strings and a setup though
No se puede creer el lope de este bepi XD
I would like a beginner guitar that doesn't come broken and is not awful. Which is basically the description of the fender starter pack. But sometimes I'm hearing a lot of problems with this particular one, such as volume nob.... I don't want to have to earn the right to own a good guitar, but it seems if I want something without any problems I have to spend $1,000 and have an on board mechanic..... There's got to be one guitar under $300 that doesn't come broke and that doesn't have problems.... Or is it just the end cool thing to be hypercritical and to start being Joe mechanic and start pulling parts out of brand new guitars and getting the soldering gun out? It's like this with hot rodders nothing's every any good.... Everyone's hypercritical about everything.... This is just a $300 fender starter pack... It seems like if you want to join the gang you have to spend $600 at least to get a decent guitar...
Come on Andy, tune the guitar properly!! Do you ear me?!! Tune the guitar!!!! Andy, tune the guitar!!
Did you watch the part about the intonation being out? did you? DID YOU?
@@TheGuitarGeek 😁😀 I did, after my comment!! Best regards Andy
If you're playing te guitar with the cheap strings they come with, It'l go out of tune. I cahnged to D'Addario 10 -46 and it's fine. Yes the tuners could be better they are okay. Eventually I will change up to Grovers that match the hole on the back as per each tuner. This is not the model Cheryl Crow uses. Hers has a Broadtron in the bridge position and a P-90 in front. Also a tunomatic saddle set up and a V shaped stop tailpiece. Do your homework son.
Crap tuners ?
please be a bit more concise with your editing if possible my dude
k
I hate when people that fam barely play review guitars. Just the same old pentatonic scales
I fam hardly beliehe it
