We don’t have that spark (mostly Bo Diddley style rhythm; see video) Verse 1 Whole notes E A E (Bo Diddley rhythm) I don’t know if it’s me or if it’s you, But we don’t have that spark B7 The way we used to do. Downstrokes A B7 You tell me that you love me, E F#m And I say the same to you, Chorus - Back to Bo Didley rhythm B7 But we don’t have that spark We need to make that engine start We need to see what we still got Then weed and seed that garden plot C B7 We don’t have that spark E Like we used to do. E A B7 Verse 2 E A E We don’t do fun things together like the way we did We each have fantasies B7 But we keep them hid A B7 Fr’m each other then ignore E F#m That things aren’t like they were before Chorus Guitar solo, verse then chorus Verse 3 I foresee another drunken haze night, Even though I know that means another crazy fight, But you’re never satisfied No matter how hard I’ve tried Chorus Tagged ending C B7 No we don’t have that spark. E Like we used to

Bad ass man, keep rockin
Beautiful guitar, sounds great and thank you for reviewing it! I can't wait for my Delta Blue to arrive :)
Circa 1973 Gibson SG, not 63 as mentioned
nice demo!
Nice melody and tone sounds great man! (to boot, recorded on a phone)
does this have a full center block or are they totally hollow body ? Great review and demo.
The Swingster is a full hollow body (no center block). I love my Swingster Royale!
@@Grinfingrz5 Thanks for the info, I was going to buy one on my local CL but it's made in Korea so I'm hesitant, the uploader, Steve Brewer mentions that the Korean made are not up to par in quality, but I'm not sure where his is made. Peace !
Would have been nice and useful to hear without the effects.
Great review.. Didn't think that the swingbuckers would sound so nice 😎👍
Looks and sounds great but only having 20 frets is a buzzkill. I gotta have 22, 21 at the very least
I play this guitar and didn't even notice it doesn't have more than 20 frets 🤷 but I guess I like to "boomer bend" and stuff like that 🤣
Were you able to play like that before you had the guitar, or does that come with the guitar? If it's not included, would you consider throwing it in for a few extra bucks?
Nice Job
W.C. Fields thanks!
Cool and upbeat. Well done
...and still there is no Singel Coil mode...it's parallel or serial wiring to come close to Filtertrons wich Gretsch wired parallel.
Yes, I stand corrected. The parallel setting (tone knob pushed down for this guitar) gives you a brighter, less powerful sound, roughly analogous to a single coil or lightly wound humbucker. The serial setting (tone knob pulled up) gives a beefier, more wound Gibson humbucker. When I still had the guitar, my preferred default mode was to set between the two pickups and have the bridge in series and the neck in parallel.
can`t believe this, not only do I have a Swingster (which is not for sale) I also have a Loar guitar which is sat on Steve`s left!
Is detune menu it's like tranpose fungtion in keyboard music instrument?
Not sure. I’m not familiar with keyboard functions. The toggle switch can be set to detune, which sounds like extreme Chorus.
I just bought a brand new cherry red one, and I love it!
are you still loving the guitar today ? I'm thinking of getting one anything I should know if you don't mind me asking, Thanks 1
Hi Steve, can you tell me please wich strings do you use please?
I believe they are d'addario baritone light gauge round nickel wound - 13 to 62. They're what came on the guitar when I got it, and I haven't changed them yet.
@@trucks2byhalia thank you. I have read all over the internet that the daddario strings are too short for this guitar... pyramid make special strings for the pro jet baritone but it's big, almost for tuning it like a bass IV E to E.
@@maximeconan550 I admit that I have not changed the strings yet and am only assuming that they are d'addarios, because the guy I bought the guitar from included an extra set of d'addarios with the guitar. He did not tell me, however, what strings were actually on the guitar. So, I can't speak to how well the d'addarios will fit. If you haven't already you might pose the question to a Gretsch guitar forum or to one of the Gretsch FB groups (e.g., #Gretschmafia).
@@trucks2byhalia thanks a lot for your answers. I've looked everywhere on forums, and it seems that no one knows the solution. I'm gonna try by myself with different sets of strings. Thank you, again ! Max
@@BLACKBIRDHILLDUO - I found out from a fellow member of #Gretschmafia FB group that the guitar is sold by Gretsch with D'addario strings 14 to 68 - www.gretschguitars.com/gear/build/solid-body/g5265-electromatic-jet-baritone-solid-body/2515900506?fbclid=IwAR2Te-44GntsqQthhezxDTgPMxwFi_AMI6EzSprd48Lik5b2OUF7YZO9i_4 That's probably what's on mine now. Not sure why people are saying they won't fit.
good job!!
Nice job
using rhythm pickup, tone and volume on guitar dimed. Playing through a Peavey Classic 30 at lowest possible volume on clean channel. A slight amount reverb added. Recorded on Iphone 7.
Hey Steve I am really digging this guitar I know you sold it but I have a question can it handle bars rock, not metal, like Beatles, Rolling Stones, AC/DC Black Sabbath, stuff like that?
would work great for Beatles and Stones and lighter blues rock than AC/DC, but it's not ideal for Sabbath. An SG (as Iommi and Young use) or other solid body Gibson/Epi would be better for them. The hollowbody swingster would likely give you a lot howling feedback issues with all that distortion.
Okay thank you.
Steve , How would the Swingster do with Surf Music ?
It will work well. The Bigsby vibrato bar is great. I think the most important thing for that is having a good amp with spring reverb (e.g., fender deluxe reverb) or a good reverb pedal (e.g., catalinbread topanga spring reverb).
probably darn well .... I tried one at a Long & McQuade and I love the Chet Bigsby arm .... the pickups go from 'series' to 'parallel' (not really split coil) but you get the thinner single coil-ish sound and humbucker-ish sound out of them .... I like the versatility of this guitar! A second hand model is there and I want it!
The Chet Bigsby is the best tremolo arm I have used. When I first tried this guitar at Long & McQuade I was amazed at the tremolo. I have a Les Paul type guitar with a regular bigsby and all I can say is you want the Chet because the regular bigsby's are terrible! Also be fore warned that it is hard to string any bigsby type guitar so take that into consideration if you are changing strings regularly.
It's def good for 'Smurf Music' :)
you can play swing on anything. Swing was born from cheap often broken and beat up instruments. It started during the depression when nobody had much and they would use buckets and guitars hobbled together from broken shit. Just think of finding a fender tele and a martin dreadnought and the fender is fucked up but the neck is good and the martins neck is cracked but the body is good. They would cut away and join the two. Swing actually created a new sound that they are still trying to perfect in the electronics of pickups.
Hello, good sound! What is the model? Afinity, Bullet, California, or what model is it? I want to buy one and the one that they sell only has on its label esrito: "Squier Strat By Fender". You can help me a lot if you tell me what model this is! Greetings from Argentina!!
Thanks. It's a bullet strat. I bought it new for about $120 (US). I agree that it sounds good, and it looks great. Doesn't stay in tune that well. So I put locking tuners on it (had to drill new holes for those). The bolt down tailplate is also problematic if you want to use the vibrato bar (won't stay in tune). If you really want a strat, I'd get a real one (if you can afford it). Fender doesn't make it easy to upgrade Squiers.
it is sold.
it's sold now.
The Quilter amp was set at about 8 o'clock Master Volume and Gain at 11 o'clock. Only the guitar knobs were dimed out.
My son is recording this with my iphone. I'm playing a Loar LH-600 through a danelectro honeytone amp. The pickup is a 50s-era DeArmond monkeystick.
