It is a great guitar, imo . . . I'm mostly a fingerstyle player, but am trying to learn some blues riffs & it is a lot of fun with that instrument. Might have to learn a couple Brian Setzer runs, too . . . I think it is a Federal requirement, when you purchase an orange Gretsch. :mrgreen:
Only downside for me is that I own only a little 5-watt practice amp, with an 8-inch speaker. When I first played a 6120RHH, it was through a boutique amp I'd never heard of before (Bad Cat amp, I think the model was Black Cat?). Turned out to be a $3K amp, & the guitar's tone through that amp was absolutely jaw-dropping. I had actually stopped into that shop to try a Gibson, a Johnny A standard model . . . even through that pricey amp, the Gibson had a really lifeless sort of tone, but the Gretsch sounded really full, & broke up nicely when you played it a bit on the hard side.
When my skills improve, I'll want to get a better amp to match that cool guitar . . . 8)
