      John Kennedy -- I think like that, too. ; ] You're taking the art even farther. Customization tells a story. Even if the story is silenced in time there will be those who appreciate that there was a tale of inspiration behind something they can hold in their hands and revere with a sense of awe and mystery.
      EDIT: That's my favorite non-wood finish, too. I can't remember the name of that one, but they used their drum wrap materials for those and the sparkle headstock logo back in the day.

    I don't own a Gretsch and probably never will - the only guitarist that I grew up listening too that played one was Malcolm Young but this was a great video and it's always nice to see fine instruments being made. Even though I'm more of a metal/rock guy the music that went along with this was very entertaining and impressive. Maybe I'll have to expand my horizons a little.
    Thanks for the fine work!

    • @sh4rkbyt3
      @sh4rkbyt3 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      They're not just for Rockabilly or Country anymore Swampster70. I play exclusively rock and both of my Gretsch's are turning into my go to's because they have their own unique sound quality and tone like no other guitar! There was a reason Malcolm picked them in particular over every other brand!

    • @Vykk_Draygo
      @Vykk_Draygo ปีที่แล้ว

      I was playing Metallica on a 2420T (full hollowbody archtop). Only thing keeping you from playing metal on a Gretsch is the looks, and the Jets fit metal and rock aesthetics just fine.
