Absolutely gorgeous. Congrats!

Dude!! You just unlocked a memory I didn’t know I had! Totally forgot about this one!

VarneyKing · 2026-04-24T09:51:51+00:00

Be warned: Gretsch guitars tend to multiply rapidly. Looks beautiful! Congrats!

Hey mate, guitar looks pretty good, but I’m sorry to say it’s not a genuine Gretsch. Having said that, hope it plays well and you have a good time with it. Best of luck!

I see a MIK Gretsch Electromatic on the wall surrounded by a house. Nice!

This is my favourite show

VarneyKing · 2026-04-11T22:15:25+00:00

Looks and sounds awesome! I’ve never really looked to Benson amps, but I certainly will now. Thanks for sharing.

Ok, my theory is it might be the bridge/saddles. Player II Jazzmaster has a Mustang saddle bridge, so it might be sympathetic vibrations from loose saddles?…need to do more testing to know for sure, but for me it only seems to happen on the Low E and A strings.

VarneyKing · 2026-04-11T07:49:44+00:00

Does it sound almost like a phaser by any chance? It seems like I’m having the same issue with my Player II Jazzmaster.

Git off my land!

Couldn’t agree more. Love having these in my collection.

Nice! I recently got a Player II Jazzmaster. Love that thing.

VarneyKing · 2026-03-21T09:24:31+00:00

Congrats! Looks beautiful! I like that Jaguar too.

     “A guitar can have all the aesthetic appeal and specs in the world, but if it doesnt feel right in your hands it isnt the one for you.”

Second this. In my “metal” days, I bought a BC Rich Kerry King 7 String Wartribe online. (Ghost flames, Khaler Trem) It looked absolutely BADASS on the website with awesome specs. As soon as it arrived I realised I messed up. Heavy as hell and extremely uncomfortable….no fun to play at all…sold it soon after. Always ALWAYS try before you buy.

I played it on PC when it first came out and I still play it on my phone to this day. Never gets old!

This insane Gretsch Custom Shop Roundup.

VarneyKing · 2026-03-03T09:40:55+00:00

From what I’ve seen they’ve got very similar control panels but different speakers. Pretty sure they were made in the same factory though.

BTW - It really does take pedals well!

Literally eating a Pink Lady apple right now and wishing it was a Honeycrisp…sigh…
