The Gretsch is more useful than I would have thought. The single coil pickups are pretty bright and twangy, but the tone switch can calm that down. I was afraid it'd only be good for rockabilly and old Beatles tunes, but the flat smooth fingerboard makes for nice string bending too. I usually play it through the "Marshall" 18-watt amp that it's leaning against in the picture, or the '63 Fender Deluxe-Amp seen behind it. The Telecaster is still my main go-to guitar though.
My friend John who played 2nd guitar in Evanescence until he got fired last month uses an all-Line6 rig and for the heavy stuff it does a good job for him.
Nice! I miss my '77 Les Paul Standard

I have always wanted to play. I go in shops and just look at the guitars, the sales person will come up to me and ask for help and I just say no because I don't know shit. I just love the guitar. Props to all ya all!(even if they are only artwork for some of you)

I love the PRS guitars for some reason. I'm not even sure where they rate but just think they look sweeeeet. Someday I will buy one of them, I like a multicolor sunburst.

Toss this one in the "Music" forum while were at it.
gotta say... these guitars pack about as much bang for the buck as you can cram into a stick of wood.
I have a loaded up z that plays better than half my vintage pieces. The hardware is top notch too. You have to have long hair or a goatee(sp?) to play one live though.

At first I couldn't imagine how a Gretsch would fit with your style and preferences. You'd probably like the fingerboard, since they are typically wide, flat, and smooth like a "shredder" guitar, but I dunno if the neck profile would suit you since they're a little thicker. Are you looking to expand into rockabilly or something?
Mine's a 6119 Tennessee Rose model, which is the guitar that used to be called a Chet Atkins Tennessean before Chet Atkins moved his endorsement to Gibson. So Gretsch were forced to change the name. But the estate of the late Chet Atkins has re-signed with Gretsch, so Gretsch dumped a bunch of the non-Chet ones onto the clearance racks last year for dirt cheap, and I grabbed one. I always liked the Tennessean because George Harrison and Dave Davies used them, and I like the brighter, focussed sound of the single coil pickups over the more gnarly dual-coil Filtertron pickups in the other Gretsch models. You might be happier with a Gretsch 6120 with its higher-output pickups, it's more of a Rev Horton Heat type instrument.
Oh, a Gibson J45 flattop acoustic followed me home today.

Nice guitars in here. I have one eletric fender(satriani one) and an accoustic fender dg7( I think) I havent played in over a year. I want to pick up again so bad, but unfortunately time is an issue.
