Something about this guitar. I don’t exactly need one...but, I’d certainly like one...
Well said. I agree with that sentiment.
Same here. I am in love with the blue one.
@@Lalairu It's green ;)
I bought the "Mint Metallic" ... Love it!
@@Mandobird1 really? Well I still love it 😂😂
The last time I went to my guitar shop, I didnt need to buy another guitar but I just sat down and back to back tested several single cuts from Epiphone, Gretsch, and even a couple Ibanez. This g2215 just sang out above the others. It feels so much more solid than similar priced les pauls from epiphone and the character is very much there. There's not much that beats the ability to go from a pushed p90 to the Gretsch bark that comes with a "tron" pickup. It covers so much ground for the money.
how was the weight on this... I have a jag and hoping to find another guitar with less weight and good mojo
@@repoman5581 It definetly weighs less than a full fat Gibson since its a slab body but its very comfy. It feels almost identical to the weight of my Mim Strat.
@@madmod thanks...thats good to hear :]
I have this guitar and it has a good tone with a Gibson shaped body and and fender feel to the neck with some great sounding humbuckers for 3 doors down and gnr and or ac/dc
Great versatile guitar , I used to have a Les Paul reissue with P90s & really, really regret selling it....sounds so killer through a tube amp
I picked up one of these guitars from guitar center for $250. Insane.
It plays like a dream, right out of the box.
I got mine for $300 at a pawn shop
I bought this guitar. It's very well built. No defects in any way in the fit and finish. Beautiful playing by the way.
Thanks!🙂
Isn’t it so heavy like damn that’s some quality lumber
@@isaiahsdead
No I dont find it heavy.. it weighs less than a player strat and less than a squier jaguar
Thank you for this perfect demo. Went and tried it out myself and fell in love. Walked out with it and couldn’t be happier. Sooo much guitar for the money.
Gretsch is knocking it out of the park with these! What a smart move to just release it with the Gretsch logo and not the whole Electromatic thing. These streamliner series with the colors, shapes and pickup selections are getting me interested to get a new guitar for the first time in years.
I got the 2210g for around 300 and it's pretty amazing.
Just beautiful
Fully agree. Can you imagine Fender did that with Squier Teles? Would more people then opt out of the Player Series? I would
Best review of this particular guitar I have seen - and there are many. But this one is really notch. Thank you! And this guitar... riff 1 and I was sold. Mine arrived yesterday in Havana Burst. Now no one throw things at me, but - Gretsch made a beautiful Tele Alternative. Not an LP alternative my book: Slab of wood, 2 pickups, volume, tone, 3-way switch. And you're rocking and rolling. Or funkin it up. Or gettin jazzy wit it. This does it all. This one will stay with me.
I also got this in Havana Burst to go alongside my Telecasters.....Great addition
This is a very high value demo. You demonstrated clean tones which made the guitar sound great and sold the guitar to me, and played a bunch of cool licks that made me watch it over and over so I could learn them. 👍
Can't go wrong with a Gretsch at any price
Sound killer clean and they do everything a Les Paul does.. just better.
On sale for $219 now, this is a hell of a guitar for that WOW sounds stunning
Where????
@@JRMoonTube Slickdeals
$199 at Adorama
Yep just got it for 199 I'm so excited
Yup, got one for $199 recently as well and it played well out of the box. I had to lightly file down a couple frets and use fine steel wool to clean up around some areas of the binding where there were some markings but it cleaned up fine. I did the 6-screw mod where you remove 6 of the screws in the Broadtron and, subjectively, it's supposed to have cleared the tone up a bit (*shrug* haha). Either way it sounds really nice and I'm still shocked at how crazy good a value this guitar is especially at the price I got it for (easily one of the best deals on a guitar that I've gotten). The tone seriously rivals that of a my favorite guitar out of the entire collection so far (the Godin Stadium Pro tele)
I just got to say I had this guitar for about a year and a half, and it really has just become a mainstay in my playing. For anyone looking to pick one up it is totally worth it, and the only modification that I recommend is a bridge pick up swap. I know that can be kind of a dicey sentence because I am recommending the guitar but, truthfully, the bridge pick up, does hold it back in my opinion. It is just too challenging to get a balance in terms of output and tonality from the neck to the bridge. I opted to get it very cheap Wilkinson PAF style pick up for this and man did it transform the bridge sound. It also pairs very well with the neck pick up now.
Very cool pickups combination and great sounds.
Insanely great guitar for no money, I'm getting one for sure.
I picked one up at Guitar Center a couple of months ago for $349.00 in Montgomery, AL in the USA. It's a great guitar. The main reason I picked it up was it was the first guitar on the wall I found that was in tune. For me the set up was fine off the wall. It's easy to play. It also looks good in person. It doesn't give me the impressions of being a cheap guitar. I like the way the P90s sounds but I am not too crazy about the Broad Tron pick up. I might swap it out later.
Good amp tone used for this demo shows off the sound of the pickups.
I was in a guitar store this friday and from all the guitars for a small bucket this was a pretty good one. Easy to use, pick up & play and also the perfect backup guitar🙂
Can't believe how good this budget Gretsch sounds! Fabulous!!
This guitar in a "Double Cut " version would be Awesome !
To each his own,, I like the single cut better. More meat for the neck to sing through.
I picked up the G2215-P90 as my first guitar few months back. I wanted the Mint but couldn't find it anywhere local so decided to get the Sahara Metallic. It is a great guitar, I can't get it to sound like it does in the demo here by Guitarist but maybe someday I can.
I bumped into it and it fell on its face and the pickup selector broke, the switch was plastic which I didn't expect so it is out getting fixed now. Can't wait to get it back so I can play again.
Just picked mine up today, thanks for the heads up about the selector I had not noticed it was plastic
Most pickup selectors are plastic
The switch itself is metal, the switch-tip, which screws on, is plastic. This is the case with most switches of this type even on high end guitars. Some Gretsches do have an all metal switch, but not this one.
This guitar may be the best value out there right now.
I played one in a store, and the bridge puckup felt kind of weak and lackluster, but that could be just because the p90 sounded so amazing. I was womdering, is the rout for bridge pickup the same size as a normal humbucker? I think putting something hotter in there would make it perfect for me
I bought the mint green version and the very first chord on that P90 almost blew my mind at the same time as it sounded just as I had expected and hoped. It is a lovely little no-nonsense rock guitar. I will swap that bridge for a proper Filtertron though.
i wanna buy same guitar but can choice between this and g5220. is this great or need more quality for other one?
@@emirerdogan84 the G5220 is a generally better guitar but the 2215 might beat it in value for money, but that depends on your budget. For many, like me, this is not the first, or main, Gretsch.
What’s the difference in the broadtrons I’d like to know cuz mine works for my ear
@@isaiahsdead if you like the way they sound, then no worries, but have you heard other filtertrons? You should at least hear some.
Wow! Great review. Adjusting the tone and volume was awesome. No one does that. Now I wish this review became the standard for all guitars.
love the neck sound!
This was the review that helped me over the finish line and order the 2215 in the single barrel stain. Thank you. And...beautiful playing. #cheers
I saw this in a Sweetwater Pro Gear mag and came here straight away. This channel was on top and I'm happy I clicked on it. It's one of the best videos on presenting a guitar such as this. Now all I have to do is return to Sweetwater and get one. Thanks, man.
I have gone through alot of guitars since I started playing. That said, I have recently had to "thin out the herd" so to speak. I wanted an electric that had a neck I liked that could do it all. This is that guitar. The only thing I am doing to it is upgrading the tuners to gotohs. Best guitar for the $$$ ever.
This is a great pickup combination and it looks great , classic American style , I need one ☝️
I got the green sparkle a week ago... dont like the colour and would want to send it back...but that tone and the amount of tone you can get is amazing.. perfect condition... not a thing to complain about... just the colour.
ohh shes growling so nice and also very clear and punchy
Just ordered this guitar for $250 brand new on eBay in this color! Can’t wait to record with this weapon😎
I got this one with the same finish this year. Best guitar I've owned. Thanks for the review.
Great review. The fit and finish of the one I received is 9.9 out of 10.....for the price, it's the best value I've seen new or used market.
That was a damn good video. Great playing. You made the Gretsch sing..
soo smooth, loved it
IT's very versitale, it's great. But I wish it had seperate volume knob for each pickup. P90 is just way way louder, I tried to correct by adjusting the pickups hight but it's hit or miss when you use different gain settings on amp etc.
Nice guitar. But I’ve never been a fan of the broadtron pup for distorted tones. Nice for clear tones.
Agreed! I grabbed one of these a few weeks back, mostly due to that great P90 in the neck position. I also can get a lot of use out of the middle position. Bridge only? I have enjoyed it in a few situations, but it is less useful for my purposes. Of course, for someone else's style, it might be just the thing.
Sounds great. Mine is on a truck on it's way. I mean really, they had me at P-90 in the bridge position. The rest is just gravy. But also the unique styling, simple electronics, and Gretsch quality. Even recently bought models have maintained that quality. Nice video, thank you. Take care.
Thank you for a thoughtful and well paced review! Good to hear the clean tones as well as over-driven ones (per all the other vids reviewing this guitar).
What would make this guitar better? A p90 in the bridge as well as the neck! Cause I’d buy both the bucker model and a p90 model. I’m already looking for a bucker model, and I’d rather get a p90 streamlined than the les Paul special in tv yellow. Are you listening Gretsch? 😆
Thank you for a tasteful tone journey with this instrument. So much better than a wannabe shred-head.
Classic rock, blues and lots more out of this little gem. Great demo. Thanks.
I love that it has binding, lmao. Going to scoop one up today, pun intended. Great review, all the best mate from the US
Love the look and sound. There is one for sale like new in box for $300 OBO, but a long drive away. I’d rather just buy one new from Sweetwater. Love the looks and tones. I’d like to know what a bridge p90 sounds like.
Great review and playing - I'll add one of these shortly.
Ive been noticing these at the shop by me. Im gonna need to get one. Pretty cool stuff. Liked the tones on your demo btw
im actually in the market for an epiphone sg... but the neck dive makes me reluctant.. ive had epi lez..superb but got bored... found a love for p90's.. always liked gretsch... people say the bolt on neck are crap..but..then..tell you about their strat.. which has a.... errmm.... bolt on...... VERY tempted by this... if the nuts 43mm im in for one.. .. ..
Just got one today 👌👍🎶🎵😁 sounds great!
I've been considering this one for a while. You play great!
Would love this guitar with a coupe size body
On sale right now at Long & McQuade for $540 Canadian...tempting
if only they made a honey burst with the brown back like that i would buy in a second
Amazing! Anyone have the music/tab for what he's playing?
Very nice review Thank you ! İs it possible to change bridge pickup to p90 as well ? Thanks
Thank you! You'd probably have to get a suitably sized P-90 in a humbucker size format, quite a few brands make them. Careful check of dimensions would be advised first though!
Excellent demo. Thanks!
Beautiful playing as always. Is the middle position hum canceling?
Best demo. Congrats.
Great looking and sounding guitar. The link to your review does not work unfortunately.
What Amp you playin' thru? Sounds like a Dream ❤️
Why don’t you guys ever play guitars clean with no effects?
Tidy ! I do like what I’m seeing about these.
Very good sound!
Very good tones.
What's the Amp called that your using
sounds great looks great
I like it, but then I don't, then I do, then I don't again. I wonder if it has to do with the bolt-on neck? I wonder how much better this guitar would be with a through neck or even a set neck. Really nice guitar for the money, I just feel like it's lacking consistency in tone.
That gain tone! What's the setup?
nice! thanks!
For the price they're charging, should have a set neck and a better humbucker. They're fun for what they are tho, if you can look past the price.
I bought it today. As @madmod said, "I did not need any guitar"...., I went to the guitar shop looking for an electroacoustic to my brother, BUT, found this beautiful sunburst guitar and guess what ! .... bought it.🤭. There is something I noticed....the fretboard looks some dry ... is it normal ?, Could I apply some oil on it ?
If only this sort of content had been around before rock music died. I've played most of my life, but guitars will be viewed in the same regard by future generations as violins are seen now. Guitar music is on the threshold of being new classical.
Guitar sounds aren't, guitar players aren't, but true guitar bands will certainly never be what they once were, ever again
@@bigkingbud I actually want to disagree with this because of a few key bands. Greta Van Fleet being a big one. Graveyard being another. The stray cats still exist, as does rockabilly.
@@chrisreynolds6143 compared to when top40 music was the rock bands? There were some bad bands at the top, but at least it was rock, and not dance-beat nonsense
@@bigkingbud top 40 is BS and should always be ignored.
@@chrisreynolds6143 um, rock was born on top40, thrived there for decades, and rock doesn't exist there anymore
I've heard that the p90 in this guitar has a loud hum, is that true?
Not that we noticed - all single coils are a bit susceptible to hum, though, and it may be that the person who told you that used one near a strong source of interference or there was a wiring issue on the example they tried
Can anyone tell me what type magnets were in the Broadtron pickups on Streamliners before they were upgraded to the BT-2S? Ceramic? Alnico V?
Alnico 2
what is the song playing in the back for the duration of the song?
The sibilance on his dialog is off the charts. Shh sps ss tsstss gretSCHH
this gretsch g2215 or an ibanez artcore as73? i like both and they are the same price in my country
This might be the guitar that makes me an electric player again. But maybe I wish the PU configuration was reversed.
The neck pickup is definitely louder than the bridge without any pickup height adjustments. It really does leave me wanting a double p90 loaded version, as well as a double broad-tron loaded version.
The sound on the neck P90 might become legendary, I would not change it or reverse positions. I needs another bridge pickup though, in my extremely humble opinion.
@@zykify Its such a good guitar for the money.
@@madmod there is a double broadtron version.
I've read the article & watched the video several times, but can't see any indication of the amp used. Other than it being a Vox (in the background) - are we allowed to know?
Vox AC15C1
@@guitarist Excellent! Thank you!
Que tal salen los Bendings en esta guitarra?
Very nice guitar, great playing too. Can I ask which Vox amp you are playing through?
AC15
Thinking about getting this exact model / color.
I usually play ernie ball/ regular slinky - 10-46: will these play well on this?
hey man... how u record the guitar? sound great!!
Kind of wished I got this instead of the cv tele
what kind of bigsby would work on this?
I think that bridge sound is better than a Telecaster... Yeah, I said it. Just my opinion.
Bruh !
Would this be a good 1st guitar for beginners?
Yes very good for beginners they play very easy !
@@stormyweather2837 Should be here within a week.. thinking of pairing with the Boss Katana :)
@@RochX-7 you will like it I love mine. The fit and finish is as good as my 1500 dollar fender. Let me know how you like it when you get it ! 🙂
@@stormyweather2837 what kind of amps have you been running with?
@@RochX-7 I have an old fender hot rod deluxe 3 tube amp that I bought used. You mentioned katana that's probably the best solid state amp tons of people use them. But I love the sound from tube amps.
I bought it for 300 dollars with taxes from Guitar Center. Just needed to adjust pick up heights, my only qualms are the fretboard. Any tips for a sticky fretboard?
Yea. I saw one at GC near me and tried her out.....plays nice and sounds great! I may have to get one since it is marked down to $275ish in the store. Great price.
Hi, a very amateur question: when people do these demo’s, what are they playing? I see some chords with fancy notes between... what exactly are those fancy notes?
Every chord is really just part of a scale pattern. Meaning that wherever you play a chord, you're sitting on top of a collection of other notes that are also in the scale. A basic chord consists of the root, the 3rd, and the 5th of its associated scale. That leaves you the 2nd, the 4th, the 7th, and plenty of other "out of key" options to mess around with.
Learn every position of the major scale up the neck (seven of them: one for each degree of the scale) and it will become clear.
@@dclipper8052 thanks so much for taking the time to explain this to me, very much appreciated! God bless and stay safe man
What amp please?
how did you get that sound? what amp or daw are you using to play though?
I wondered that myself. Sounded great!
At 2:10 ish there's the a vox in the bottom left of the video
Why haven’t I seen this guitar yet ,,what’s not to like
The neck looks quite wide.
its actually sort of narrow
I was thinking the same, it looks wide for my hands but maybe it's not....
I am told it is 1 11/16 at the nut. I would like it a 16th of an inch wider.
Same guitar a year ago was like £280.
o_0
You mean the Gretsch G2210?
@@Olegstuff21986 I think he is, but if you shop around you can get this guitar for £275.
Gak are still selling them for £280 i think?
클린톤은 딱 내가좋아하는톤인데
One neck setting you profiled is nasty muddy. Just sayin. The clean sounds are very nice.
That's not necessarily a bad thing, the 'muddyness' is like a fuzz, has its texture which may be desirable, depending on what you play. If you want less mud, you can always adjust things to reduce it.
I can't believe people buying Harley Benton when they could have this same price
Eh Guitar center here I come lol Was looking to hear someone play some kinda soul instead of all the rock to throughly hear how it sounds.
Ditto!
Well it’s nice but it’s just more Chinese crap....after a week it’s worth half of what you paid for it..... there’s no value down the road....if you get my drift.
Most people don’t purchase guitars with the mindset that they are investments...so who cares if they aren’t worth as much after you buy it? I don’t buy a $300 guitar to make a profit on it, I buy it to play it
Yep, that argument doesn't hold for 'budget' guitars, they're not worth that much money anyway. It's made an Indonesia and they do a good job.
puh-leeze!. 99.9% of the guitars anyone will ever buy will not be worth what they paid for it. jeezus, i can't stand you corksniffers.
Bollocks.
Made in Indonesia by Cort who do quality work for a variety of different companies.
