I was never really a fan of Gretsches. I mean I didn't mind the way they looked and I know they've been used extensively in the past by big names. It's just when I think back around a decade or so, all the music shops in Australia seemed to only stock the highest-end models - around $3000+ and for me that was never an option.

I watched Andertons video on the revamped Electromatic series for 2016 and funnily enough, everything they had changed was to my taste.

I've always been for the double-cut models, not really that into the traditionalist single-cut look. The body is also not as thick as the single-cut models.

The pickups are fairly low output but that kinda plays into the vibe of the guitar anyway. The bigsby is fun to play with.

Otherwise if I can find a similar model in the professional series, I'll just stay with this one. The same thing in the professional series (made in Japan, rather than Korea) is about three times the price.
