    My 18 year old metal head son got free tickets to see the Rev. He came back saying it was amazing and the best concert he'd ever seen.

    Extremely underrated, extremely under the radar, and just like the best artists, the schlubs of the world will finally take notice long after their last sermon!

    Thank you! The Reverend Horton heat is by far one of the best players out there. and his Gretsch signature model is in my opinion the best of them.

It is a awesome guitar! Plus In Januwary The Reverend Horton Heat will be playing in Berkeley and San Jose! And I got tickets for both Shows! Sweet Christmas and New Year for me!

  • @wallymarx9646
    @wallymarx9646 6 ปีที่แล้ว +16

    I agree the Rev model is the best that Gretsch makes. I've had 6120 reissues, Duo-Jets, special editions, and even some '50s vintage Gretsch. The 6120RHH has the most versatility, the broadest range of tone, and is easiest to play at gig volumes. The neck is excellent and the whole rig just works. I do recommend a the Tru-Arc bridge. Killer axe.

      Same here mate I bought my 1st ever Gretsch last month, I stumbled upon a lovely 5126 silver sparkle in virtually mint condition and now I'm obsessed with Gretsch guitars. They look better than anything else, and mine sounds great with de Armond pickups, and I find it so comfortable to play.....I've hardly put it down in a month.
      The only crappy thing about it so far is re-stringing the bloody Bigsby.

    10 - 52'S minimum for me, to keep a bigby in tune. The strenght of the strings pull back the spring in its right place.

  • @NoirL.A.
    @NoirL.A. 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    PETE TOWNSHEND said his fave guitar of all time that he used almost exclusively on recordings was a widebody orange gretsch that he bought from JOE WALSH. he said it was too bulky to play live but also he didn't want to risk taking it on tour.
    either way i've seen THE REV a few times live and he uses very little distortion and yet when the song calls for it he makes it sound heavy AF. it must be in his hands.

    If you want to know exactly what the kind of “spanky” sound is, palm mute and do a Johnny cash strum on the top strings in relation to your hand on an E chord. You’ll hear it if you do it right.

      The RHH does sound fantastic, but I couldn't be happier with my EC; the P90 really sets it apart from other Gretschs, while it does have that trademark twang with the bridge Dyna.
