- Gretsch guitars have a storied history and have been the brand of choice of many legendary guitar players. From the likes of Brian Setzer, Chet Atkins, Malcolm Young, George Harrison and Nigel Hendroff; the Falcon's, Jet's and Broadcasters of Gretsch's line up have helped to hone the sound of rock, blues, country and even worship. While we are huge fans of Gretsch's more affordable Electromatic and Streamliner lines, there are some things that only the Professional Collection can offer. Chris and Cooper breakdown the different editions available in the collection and what might best suit your needs.

![5 THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT GEORGE HARRISON'S GRETSCH TENNESSEAN + Tone Demo [4K]](/img/n.gif)
Gretsch Owns Gretsch, their headquarters are near Savannah , Georgia. They have an agreement with Fender for distribution and warranty. They also have the Gretsch USA custom guitars are housed with Fender at their California Facility. Gretsch guitars are made in Japan, China, Indonesia and Korea. It is a great set up for Gretsch. Gretsch drums and percussion are made in Ridgeland, SC with their lower line made by DW Drums in Taiwan.
I've owned the Nigel Hendroff for over a year now, and it's beyond words. A phenomenal, breathtaking guitar
That '57 Duo Jet sounds delicious!
Really love this. Neil finn of crowded house played a red duo jet with that tone switch and I've wanted one forever
i actually really enjoy how you guys banter and demo the guitars. I have a older cherry duo jet. It is an amazing guitar.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr Cooper Greenberg!!! Man you are one heaven of a player, Son.
love that BORADKASTER. ;)
More Gretsch please
Gretch it its own. Having both a G6120T-BSHR-AFG and a G6128T-GH, they have such such a cool vibe that no other guitar manufacturer can match.
Great show as always 😊❤️🎸
What a perfect marriage of guitar design and branding with the "Alamo" block inlays and the name of your store. Always enjoy your videos, especially liked the tones you were getting on the orange artist model, very distinct.
I bought an Electromatic a few years back and really liked it. Since then got a Penguin and Falcon, and they are just incredible. After years of playing basically Fender and Reverend (which I still love), I can’t believe how long I slept on Gretsch.
Great playing as usual!
Incredibly beautiful guitars. I like ‘em.
They say you never forget your first. That Broadkaster will sure as shootin' never forget ol' Coop - hot DAMN!
Great segment
Great guitars, Great video.👍
I've got a Broadkaster identical to the one you demoed. I put D'Addario Half Rounds, 11-49, on it, and play it fingerstyle. It produces very lush, fat jazz tones. Probably not what Gretsch had in mind for it, but it works for me.
But that's the beauty - ok, just one PART of the beauty of Gretsch: They do it ALL.
And I thought I was done with "one more" for P&W. Ugh! Great demo boys!
16:28 "THE BORADKASTER"
I laughed, was hoping someone would have caught that!
Excellent!
I once had a ‘70s Japanese made Ventura Country Gentleman. It was dark brown with the correctly spec’ed fake f-holes and imitation Filtertron pickups. The only bad thing was the cheap Bigsby. Love Gretsch aesthetics - the banjo armrest on the Penguin! Cool.
Duo jets have no right looking that gorgeous.
Yes they Do!
Should check out people demoing a real 57 on the tube. These modern reissues are good but man the vintage ones will take your breathe away
I have a black falcon hands down my fav Gretsch of all time !
That Duo Jet is absolutely stunning. I come here to hear Cooper play, but I need one of those.
Question for Gretsch aficionados; have the guitars suffered/improved since Fender bought them?
Improved a lot. Especially the pickups
Nice Gretschs man! I have a Japanese '55 6150 with TV Jones single coils and it's the most beautiful and best sounding electric guitar I own. I baby it though and it doesn't leave the house.
I really like Cooper but I’d love to hear some different playing styles from him. He always plays the same licks and doesn’t really show other genres like rock.
I was under the impression that FMIC was only in charge of distribution, and Gretsch was its own entity.
I thought Alamo Music was expanding and now covering video equipment and this was going to be the first video reviewing the GoPro.
Love that boratcaster
Very nice.
High five!
You guys carry D'Angelico 👍🏻😎💯
Did not know about these. If I didn't already have a Duesenberg, I'd be in the market for a Gretsch Pro
That green one is hot 🔥
I love the "BORADCASTER". One of one? :)
No surprise Coop liked the Broadkaster best; he went to TOWN on that thing!
I love the look of Gretsch guitars and in fact own 2 Electromatic models and a 6120 MIJ model. But here’s the kicker…I just can’t get into the Filtertron pickups. They always seem lacking in mids and are cold sounding to my ears. I want to change them out to the DeArmond eventually.
Not sure if I’ll need to modify the pickup rings to accommodate the change though. I don’t want to sell them because they play beautiful and look beautiful. I’m with Cooper regarding my favourite sound here and that’s the DeArmond model. Once I change out the pickups it will be complete.
Steve Wariner and Brian Setzer Smoke are the best models of the present range. I’ve got the Wariner.
You use the pink eraser trick? 🎸
Why George dropped the Duo Jet in favour of the Country Gentleman and Tennessean is beyond me.
Going from the Duo Jet to those other Gretches is only part of the story, though. We are talking about someone who had access to whatever guitar he wanted and who showed a desire to explore and change. The Duo Jet was his first "decent" guitar; I don't find it that surprising that he moved on. His journey took him beyond Gretsch to an Epihone Casino,the Sitar, a Les Paul, and various Strats. I think it's telling that, after all that, he eventually went back to his original Duo Jet.
I think the Duo Jet suited the chunkier 'poppy' rhythm stuff but it always blew me away that he had that ' Carl Perkins / Chet Atkins thing', country style cross-picking, and the Country Gent seemed 'right' for those brief 'fast finger lickin' pickin' solo breaks in some of the earlier stuff. Either way, our George! 😀(And Cooper sure has that thang down - amazing playing!) 😀I stumbled across a 2018 MIJ Red Duo Jet just recently and absolutely love it!
To my ears, that Duo Jet sounded best. Pretty awesome!
Those Dynas are a thing all their own - swapping them into my new 5420 and can't wait - but... that Broadkaster!
Y'all spelled Broadkaster 'Boradkaster' in your demo portion
All just a bit too bling for my tastes, but obviously quality guitars. The BroadKaster (you wrote BORADKASTER in your overlaid titles, btw. Yakshemash!) is my favourite, but I do like the striking headstocks of the Penguins. The pickups of the BroadKaster sounded just great -- so clear, but backed up with a little bit of growl.
Borat-caster. 😉
BORADKASTER
The green one, but without this stupid banjo hand guard
