G6120SSU Brian Setzer Hollow Body Electric Guitar (Orange Tiger Flame Lacquer) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Just to anyone who's looking at this, The G6120SSU model number indicates a urithane finish, not a laquer finish. The laquer finish model number is G6120SSL for the tiger stripped version and the usual price is $3100. If you buy this one, make sure you verify which one is being sent. I don't have an opinion on weather a laquer finish is any better then a urithane finish, but I would love the guitar either way!!!

G6118T Limited Edition 125th Anniversary Hollowbody Electric Guitar (Jaguar Tan) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After having just recorded with this guitar, I still can't decide if it is more beautiful to listen to or to look at... the pictures simply do not do it justice, this is an absolutely beautiful combination of super cool design and solid workmanship, but the sounds it can make are just as breath-taking. Much warmer and fuller than other Gretsch hollowbodys when playing jazz, but able to stand up and shout like a Gretsch on blues or rock when it needs to.
In one word this is a "keeper," an instant family heirloom that your grandkids some day will be inspired to learn to rock it like their old man's old man!!
(at least that is what I'm hoping for)

In celebration of the 125th anniversary of Gretsch and a legacy that has lasted five decades, the tradition of the "anniversary" model continues. To commemorate this historic event, a very special instrument was created that is sure to be an instant classic. Combining time-tested Gretsch elements from the past with new features, the 125th Anniversary model has an ultra-rare Jaguar Tan top, with metallic gold back and sides. The body is made of three-play laminated maple for the utmost resonance and tone. Two key individuals in the Gretsch story recently designed a new scalloped bracing specifically voiced for Gretsch guitars. The new "ML" bracingwhich stands for Gretsch guitar designers Masao Terada and Mike Lewismakes its debut on the 125th "Annie". This construction synchronizes the vibration of the top and back, with increased acoustical openness in tone. Accentuating the tone of the new ML bracing are a pair of TV Jones PowerTron pickups, pinned rosewood-based Adjusto-Matic bridge and a Bigsby B6C vibrato tailpiece. Happy Anniversary indeed!Archtop laminated maple body 3-piece maple neck with tapered heel Ebony fingerboard, 12" radius 21 frets 2 TV Jones Power-Tron pickups 2 Volume knobs, 3-way switch, 3-way master tone switch Rosewood based AdjustoMatic bridge Bigsby B6C vibrato Deluxe Sperzel Nickel-Plated Die-cast Locking Tuners Polished aluminum, chrome, and nickel plated hardware 24.6" scale 1 11/16" nut width Gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish Black Headstock Overlay with Chrome Plated "ANNIVERSARY (1883 - 2008)" Plate on Headstock Mother-Of-Pearl Neo Classic "Thumbnail" Inlay Position Markers Multiple Body Bindings Metallic Gold Plexi Pickguard Knurled Strap Retainer Knobs Adjustable Truss Rod G-Arrow Knobs Includes G6241 Deluxe Hardshell Case

Washburn HB Series HB15TSK Electric Guitar Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Like I said in the title, this is a great guitar! And I mean that.
A lot of people will slag on this guitar just because it's a Washburn. While I don't like Washburn guitars that much, I a huge fan of this particular model. It has the look I wanted, plus the sound is thick and warm. It really does sound a lot like those 1920s-1930s "floating pickup" guitars that it is modelled after. The thick neck feels real good in your hands.
There are three different versiosn of this guitar. There's another HB-15 that has the volume and tone knobs on the body itself, and then there's an HB-15 with a single cutaway. Personally, I REALLY wanted the knobs on the pickguard, so that's what I bought. The tabacco burst is cool looking.
I sanded my guitar's neck and body. The neck's so smooth and the guitar looks older, as if it may actually be from the 1930s. The only other alteration I made was moving the strap peg to the neck. Most guitar snobs I know (and we all know a couple) are surprised to hear that this jazz-box is a Washburn. A comporable guitar will run you $600!
The only downsides I've had with my HB-15 is a little buzzing around the fifth fret. I had the fret filed by a luthier (about $10) and haven't had any more buzz since. Oh, it does pay to keep the bridge around the same area, because it can set the intonation off.
Washburn's HB-15 is a GREAT guitar for looks, sound, playability, and affordability.
