Probably got given it for free -- Rob does a lot of advertising for andertons after all. £500 is a small price to pay with the amount of visits/sales rob probably gets them.
Just one small "disagreement" guys... As far as Gretsch history goes, Gretsch was made in Brooklyn, then Baldwin bought them in the mid-60's... The Gretsch popularity began to wane as more affordable Strats, Teles, and Les Pauls became the big thing, and by the late 70's the guitars were really suffering in quality... Baldwin moved production from New York to Arkansas. There were a few fires that destroyed blueprints, records, etc, and Baldwin ended up suspending production and selling the tools and machinery for scrap. Fred Gretsch the 3'rd purchased the rights to Gretsch back from Baldwin around 1989... There was no factory, blueprints, etc... basically the company just existed on paper. Fred Gretsch heard a company called Terada in Nagoya, Japan were making wonder handmade archtops and contracted them to begin building Gretsch guitars again, though they were more like the Baldwin designs than vintage. Eventually artists like Randy Bachman, Brian Setzer, etc lent their vintage guitars to be cat-scanned and Gretsch veered back towards historical accuracy. Fender made a deal with Gretsch in 2003, and took over quality control, r&d, and distribution, but left production in Japan at Terada... So now the premium Gretsch guitars are made in Japan with "affordable" electromatics being built in Korea and China. All the Custom Shop guitars are built in a Gretsch shop inside Fender's California factory and overseen by master builder Steven Stern. Thanks guys, love the videos!
This is the worst comment of all time, holy shit. Just because you say _one thing_, that doesn't mean you're excluding all history. You're the worst kind of person. It's also not correct.
@@noname-ng6sj which part isn't right? I'm trying to research Gretch and any info you have I would greatly appreciate you sharing. Some info is hard to come by.
I haven't seen the any negative change in your playing, just a non stop smile and hapiness on your face, can't decide if it was the Gretsch or Theo :P :D ((Three hours of Sleep is like three Dopesmokers))
You guys are terrific! I was a musician of sorts, but I've never learned guitar. Ya'll have lit a fire under me and now, at the age of 62, I'm going to buy a guitar and learn to play it. Thanks for the inspiration!
Cheers for watching everyone - I think the noise at 1.40 was just about the best sound I've ever made on a guitar!! And I can confirm that no guitars were harmed in the making of this video - I thought at the time I might have broken something, but it turned out it was just the spring clicking as I went for it!!
CaptAnderton you place the bridge on a guitar like that where the F Holes make the pointed shape. go check every F hole guitar in the store and that's where it will be. thats why they are shaped that way, form follows function
This video played a huge part in me going out and getting one of these streamliners. I can confirm that despite the neck dive, they are absolutely sublime! I love mine to death!
These videos have become the best on youtube. guitar guys passionate about guitars and just being chill. no elitist bullshit. I thank you two for making my days better. Will it be weird if I hug Rob at a concert ?
Raz Rojas B you know brother. pretentious assholes who have their nose in the air about what guitars they like. "oh no. Gibson is the only worthy brand I will touch with these hands." people like that. These guys love everything guitar. from cheap to high end.
True, there was a lot of "elitist bullshit" going on at the Chapman booth at NAMM 2017. Some real asshole behavior on behalf of Chapman Guitars that was very uncool. In Rob's defense at least he had nothing to do with it.
IMO Gretsch Streamliner guitars are the best electric guitars for the money on the market right now -the Broadtron pickup is a hot filtertron but still with a bit the breath and space of a filtertron and not the lifeless problems of a modern PAF. I just cut a record where the Streamliner dusted A/B tests with many famous guitars 4-6 times in cost. Plus they play amazing -nice work Indonesians! Korean Gretsch are great too
The first thing I would do is replace all the pots with high quality Emerson Custom Pros at $8 each and a new set of Grover Rotomatic machine heads for $75. So you have added another $100 or so. You now have a guitar that is going to last forever and stay in tune 100% better. That is still a killer deal.
@@jstone8513 That was the moment that made me head to the comment section to complement the editor too! 'kin hilarious cuts. Stop talking about guitars and let's just have a laugh!
A big correction to Lee's recounting of Gretsch history: The company is not owned by Fender (although most of its operations have been assigned over to Fender management). Gretsch was resurrected from the dead by the great-grandson of the founder, also named Fred Gretsch, who bought the name back from the previous owner, the Baldwin Company. So Gretsch remains in the family!
Ron Light Probably because back in the day Fender called the Telecaster the "Broadcaster". Gretsch made them change it because of a drum set they had at the time. And it wasn't until a few years ago that Fender started making Broadcaster Reissues. Probably bought the drums so they could use that name. Don't know why they'd do that though. I guess when you're the #1 guitar seller in the world you have money for unnecessary crap.
Cusco Othriyas No, Fred Gretsch is still in control of the company, both drums and guitars, but Fender handles the guitar distribution, and DW handles the drum distribution.
Fender Custom Shop Master Luthiers make the high end Gretsch stuff in California, alongside CS Fenders. These are easily some of the best new guitars you can buy at any price, everything that the luthier Stephen Stern touches is full of feel, vibe and mojo. I've had one of his Duo Jets and 2 of his Falcons, all were incredible guitars just oozing with personality.
I always heard that semi-hollows were quite versatile and you've shown that nicely, I think. While I was considering a Squier Classic Vibe, G&L or Kiesel/Carvin, you've convinced me to give these Streamliners some serious consideration. When their sales jump through the roof, you guys should pat yourselves on the back since I'm thinking you've just introduced a new demographic to Gretch! Thanks for the review and demo. ;)
I was surprised that these guitars actually weren't expensive. I instantly fell in love with the guitar that Rob held and thought by the manufacturing and sound that it must be a 2000€ guitar. So glad I was wrong.
other Johnny Cash songs besides Ring of Fire include: Son of Ring of Fire Son of Ring of Fire Part Two: Electric Boogaloo Ring of Fire IV Ring of Fire V: Rise of the Fire Ring of Fire VI: Keep Ringing Return to the Ring of Fire
lol and all in that two notes that johnny could actually sing lol... don't forget the others in the set... Fire made in a ring a ring made of fire firey round thinggey like a ring a round ring made of flamey stuff on fire ...lol
Love the jamming. Reminds me of late night midweek rehearsals with my old band. When everyone is tired and just making noise trying to find the groove but struggling to stay awake and interested. Lee even stops playing at 29:10 to pick his nose!!! Love it! So relatable!
I religiously watch you guys and love your vids!! Cannot get enough of the tone you are pulling out of those Gretsch's. I just went out and bought one.
I bought a 5420 when they first came out, and also a ProJet. Since then I've replaced the Bigsby on the 5420 with a trapeze-style tailpiece. It's prettier, stays in tune, and sounds better. Replaced the machine heads on the ProJet with Schallers. It now holds it's tuning better. Love both guitars. They seem to me to have the ideal tone between Gibson and Fender. More bite than a Gibson ( Humbuckers, not mini-bucker or P90) and more tone than a Fender. Had my first Gretsch in 1968, a Jet Firebird. The necks on Gretsch guitars are the dog's bollox. 'Nuff said.
Just picked up the G2420 Brooklyn Burst here in the states and I'm already in love with it. Great to see a review from you guys on these guitars. Cheers!
I just bought the Green Streamliner in lefty like the Red model Rob is playing at the beginning what a versatile guitar I can understand anyone buying the lot of em😎💯👍🔥🔥
I have been gassing for a semi-hollow for about 2 years now, I have always liked gretsch (or the idea of gretsch) but never played one. Finally our local guitar center (because Andertons has not made it to South West Florida yet) had a decent amount of semi-hollow bodied guitars and between the Epiphones, Ibanez's, and Peavies they were ok; then the 5623 Gretsch Red version was amazing. It would be awesome if more guitar stores stocked a good "range" of gretsch for people to play then purchase.... I think they are a little under-rated or forgotten by the majority of players. Thanks guys..
Well, I too was wondering which model Rob bought, but I would almost bet he bought the one he played the most - toward the end. It had the sexiest 'gain' tone - snarl really.
If anyone is wondering, on floating bridge instruments you align the bridge with the pointy bits in the F-holes. Guitars are a bit more picky than say an upright bass because intonation is driven by the frets instead of finger placement, but the points of the f-holes give you a good idea of where it goes.
In my younger days the first really nice guitar that I bought was a Gretsch Tennessean and in my exuberance I went to change to a brand new set of strings when the (non attached) floating bridge fell off. I thought that I had broken the guitar and done unrepairable damage not realizing that this was just the way it was supposed to be.
I bought one recently as my 2nd guitar and it's fantastic, it can do the soul/r&b/blues stuff I love but I can throw a fuzz on it and it sounds gnarly AF
Do you know that feeling when you are slowly falling in love? You forget everything around you and all that matters is you and her... And suddenly you realise that she is too good for you. She, a stunning redhead with a beautiful semi-hollowbody and great curves comes from the wealthy Gretsch family and you are just a poor guitarist without any money or fame. That´s what happened to me. I can´t even put in words how deep it hurts my heart that I don´t have a Gretsch.
I swear, some of the editing and bleeping makes me laugh out loud, watching you guys always makes my day a little happier. I wish I lived either one of your lives! Cheers from Cincinnati Ohio!
+George Hypotenuse and the Triangles It's massively overproduced and glossy, absolutely airbrushed to perfection, but you can tell there's this thin thread that if you just unravelled all that auto-tune and digital manipulation and crappy songwriting, the guy is actually reasonably talented. I mean, no more so than the next coffee-shop acoustic guy, but he's not the most terrible musician I've ever heard. I bet if the guy just went into a studio and tracked nothing but acoustic guitar and vocals, no auto-tune, no synth layers, and no outside songwriters, he'd probably be capable of putting out something reasonably decent.
Thank you for actually explaining what it is I love about Bigsby trems. I had a go of one on a Riviera once and I was instantly a convert - so much though that I'm still considering putting one on a Strat.
Rob you and Lee read my mind, I was looking for something like this and I thought "Hey lets see if there is a review of some Gretsch guitars using some fuzz or really dirty gain" and right when I open TH-cam I see you and Lee playing some Badass looking Gretsch guitars.
Approaching 60 and have decided I would like to buy guitar and setup. To my ears of all the guitars you folks have played in your videos the sounds of this Gretsch really strike me as the most appealing. I think at my stage in life, I can spend the money on a “nicer” setup without worry and satisfy my greed of wanting nice things. Is it possible to cover the Japanese versions available as we approaching the end of 2019? BTW, as someone who knows nothing about playing music I am digging your videos as I research all the possibilities.
A NEW ROB AND LEE VIDEO WOOHOOO *runs out the door yelling* Aaaaand We're Back in the room, well a new room actually... You both did amazingly today! Rob, your playing in the jams seemed quite inspired and fresh from your leave, good to see you back in good form if extremely tired hope the little man is doing good and Nat is recovering well Lee, you're playing in the jams has been getting a lot better as of late, you absolutely killed it... I do still think we should have you constantly plugged into a Marshall Astoria though
I think I fell in love with the Brooklyn Burst Rob started playing around 18:15. I just rescued a sweet older Washburn EA36 from the pawn shop and here I go with another on my wish list! That thing rocks!
I'm a lefty. I got the big red hardtail like Rob plays first. Swapped out the yellow knobs for chrome gretsch arrows. Also put a roller bridge and a duesenburg trem. Love how it plays and sounds.
I watched this then spent two days looking at reviews of the G2655T whilst drooling before placing an order for one at Andertons this morning. My wife and wallet do not thank you.
This video (and that other video "Can Gretsch Guitars do That?") is the reason I built a little hollow body based on a Gretsch. Old (vintage) short scale neck, rail humbucker, and piezo bridge with pre-amp. Great sound, sold it to a friend

Steve Warren your not the first post here to say that . I bet gretsch is thanking the lord for this video.
Small correction; the bridges on the full hollow G2420 models are pinned so they won't move. They will lift off but won't slide around with heavy use.

I think the advantage to having the fret inlays on the fretboard as well is that it helps when you're trying to learn from observing other guitarists.
Cult & Billy Duffy - best advertisement for anyone wanting to look at Gretsch.

yeah, but shouldn't "One String At A Time" be played one string at a time instead of chords?

I mean, no more so than the next coffee-shop acoustic guy, but he's not the most terrible musician I've ever heard. I bet if the guy just went into a studio and tracked nothing but acoustic guitar and vocals, no auto-tune, no synth layers, and no outside songwriters, he'd probably be capable of putting out something reasonably decent.
Just bought one in Torino Green. It's lovely to play and has a great tone
Gretsch really needs to make the guitar that lee's playing in left handed!!!!!!
Thank you for actually explaining what it is I love about Bigsby trems. I had a go of one on a Riviera once and I was instantly a convert - so much though that I'm still considering putting one on a Strat.
18:19 this will forever be one of my favourite Rob and Lee improvs
Rob you and Lee read my mind, I was looking for something like this and I thought "Hey lets see if there is a review of some Gretsch guitars using some fuzz or really dirty gain" and right when I open TH-cam I see you and Lee playing some Badass looking Gretsch guitars.
Approaching 60 and have decided I would like to buy guitar and setup. To my ears of all the guitars you folks have played in your videos the sounds of this Gretsch really strike me as the most appealing. I think at my stage in life, I can spend the money on a “nicer” setup without worry and satisfy my greed of wanting nice things. Is it possible to cover the Japanese versions available as we approaching the end of 2019? BTW, as someone who knows nothing about playing music I am digging your videos as I research all the possibilities.
A NEW ROB AND LEE VIDEO WOOHOOO *runs out the door yelling*
Aaaaand We're Back in the room, well a new room actually... You both did amazingly today!
Rob, your playing in the jams seemed quite inspired and fresh from your leave, good to see you back in good form if extremely tired hope the little man is doing good and Nat is recovering well
Lee, you're playing in the jams has been getting a lot better as of late, you absolutely killed it... I do still think we should have you constantly plugged into a Marshall Astoria though
Damn that jam from- 18:19 gave me feels. Beautyfull and awsome sounding guitars. I am defenately in love now... so much, that it hurts. :D
I think I fell in love with the Brooklyn Burst Rob started playing around 18:15. I just rescued a sweet older Washburn EA36 from the pawn shop and here I go with another on my wish list! That thing rocks!
Love the new room!
Thank you Mark...
Didn’t expect a big box Gretsch sounding this great in a high gain situation!
rob's intro solo holy shite
Rob's playing was freakin' epic in this video, !!!
Nothing inspires more than a great instrument, and these Gretsch guitars are indeed fantastic
The Marshall stack might help too?
That riff theyre playing throughout the video is an Icelandic song called Fjöllin hafa vakað
I'm a lefty. I got the big red hardtail like Rob plays first. Swapped out the yellow knobs for chrome gretsch arrows. Also put a roller bridge and a duesenburg trem. Love how it plays and sounds.
Rory!!!! I love you Rory!!!
I have that exact g2622, man they're lovely! This vid made me bought it!
Dat new room tho. It's beautiful!
That roar @ 17:45 is epic! Nice vocals there Rob. Almost sounds like it was dubbed in...
Rory McLean is a freaking beast.
I CANNOT stop shredding on this ----GRETSCH--- guitar!!!
Holy shit, new room looks awesome, lot less cramped than the old one
Much much much more space...
The slow jam from 18:18 is one of the best I've ever heard.
Do a Chapman guitars ES-Style guitar!
the song part about g string is the funniest, its so raw and entertaining! keep up the impromptu jams like that hahaha
More like a country Djentleman...hee.
Finally,, I got it since last year, thanks for the demo love this line , have a green Torino
I watched this then spent two days looking at reviews of the G2655T whilst drooling before placing an order for one at Andertons this morning. My wife and wallet do not thank you.
This is still one of my favorite opening jams
Well two of the greatest hard rock guitarists both play Gretsch. Malcolm Young (AC/DC) and Billy Duffy (The Cult) nuff said
Elliott Henderson what did Alvin Lee play at Woodstock. for the life of me , I think it was a grqwsxgch
Chris Cornell from Soundgarden, Tim Armstrong from Rancid, Patrick Stump from Fall Out Boy are/were also huge Gretsch guys!
Alvin was famous for his Gibson ES-335.
Malcom now plays the heavenly Gretsch./... or.... maybe just did take that highway to hell..
OMGoodness the song you two play at 18:30 was beautiful. Thanks
Country djent bit nearly buckled me. :-D
2622 gretch really good for hard rock.love mine.bought last week and absolutely love this guitar! !!!
I think It's a bit small. I want the ones that Buffalo Springfield used to play. They take up about an acre.
This video (and that other video "Can Gretsch Guitars do That?") is the reason I built a little hollow body based on a Gretsch. Old (vintage) short scale neck, rail humbucker, and piezo bridge with pre-amp. Great sound, sold it to a friend
