Gretsch G5260T Electromatic Jet Baritone IL Black Ηλεκτρική Κιθάρα

A baritone guitar is of course not your everyday instrument, but at this very affordable price I thought- let me give it a chance because I can definitely use this instrument for some great sounds, voicings etc especially for recording. Gretsch’ are great guitars and they are definitely their own thing and the Electromatic series are their most affordable achievement, but I must admit that the good reviews I saw online wasn’t lying and the Chinese craftsmanship is impressive: It plays very well — the setup right out of the box was very nice — it looks great and the sound: well for my taste it is absolutely amazing. On the neck pickup you have an almost jazzy warm sound - in the middle position some more twang is added, but with the bridge pickup you have a really beautiful rock twangy sound - really big and broad. I’m not using the bigsby that much as I was prepared that it would have quite some string tension – I chose that option mostly because of the counterweight to the long next and that works perfectly. If you’re looking for a baritone guitar I can definitely recommend the Gretsch G5260T.
