Gretsch sent me an email too!!
It said, “You left something in your cart. Complete your purchase now.”
Best comment hands down😂😂😂
Rabea is one of those people i've never talked to and i've never met in person, yet everytime i see a video from him i feel like i'm seeing a friend. Such a nice guy, wonderful musician, i hope you doin great man.
Gretsch are getting it right from the Streamliners up to the top of the range player editions. They're all brilliantly finished, sound great and have a coolness that most brands just don't have.
Plus Rabea giving them a workout , guitar heaven.
i got one of the rat rods this year, it's an electromatic, but it's and absolutely awesome guitar, gibson is now just collecting gas
So true I got a Streamliner single cut (p-90 in the neck, humbucker broadrange bridge pickup) a month or so ago on sale for only $250 and I expected it to play as such. Really has a better feel then other $500-$600 guitars from other brands and after a setup that thing is just so solid. The wraparound intonates well and the sand color metallic finish is flawless with a binding!
God the amount of clarity is insane, even with those dense chords it’s still so rich and clear!
These are some of the absolute best guitar tones I’ve ever heard. I’m floored.
I think if my rig sounded like this my wife would have to leave me. I’d never leave the basement
Dude, the ambient tones you can get with this guitar are unreal. Sounds amazing - as usual.
Great to see companies such a Gretsch get in contact with you, that white and gold oooooo mama!!
Man, the clean parts sounded so HEAVENLY, so inspiring!
I'm lucky enough to own one of these Gretsch Limited Ed. in another finish color. Amazing instruments.
I’ve been thinking of pulling the trigger on an Anniversary in smoke green
Holy Sh*t, Man. I just watched one of yer vids from couple of years ago and the change you made in yer look is mahussive. Well done, you look healthy AF and happy too! Not to mention your superb playing, this always was exceptional. Thanks for the vid!
That guitar is just absolutely gorgeous.
Thanks for the great playing Rabea! BTW the tone you get from the Gretsch and the pedalboard/amps is absolutely awesome! Don't forget that by doing this you do not only show us the beauty of these Gretsches but you also encourage and inspire lots of players out there (including me!) to pick up the guitar, play more, and try to nail a few of those licks and riffs! This is so inspiring! Thanks man!
Rabeas new love for Gretsch Guitars was so unpredictable yet it's so incredible, loving the playing as always!
Just a really solid review. Gretsch was genius in having you demo this. It sold me one- mission accomplished Gretsch. I love Gretsch guitars and the rockabilly stuff and all but it just isn't my style of playing and their guitars are so costly that it just didn't make it feasible for me to put down the cash. The tones and even the color combo of this one were just spot on for me.
Bea, great job on this. I'm so glad that you put this beautiful instrument through its paces. Too often reviews and demos pander to traditional uses (twangy and spongey), and they're fine, legendary tones. It's great to see you demonstrate the diversity of tones that emote from this Gretsch, it growls and howls, and it roars when you want it to. I don't own a Gretsch; you make a good argument that it truly belongs in the complement of a guitarsenal.
Arguably one of the most beautiful instruments I've seen so far. I own Gretsch G5655TG in my collection (which is also super good looking) but this thing seams like a piece of art.
The Penguin was always my favourite Batman guitar.
Matt Gilbert the Penguin was Burgess Meredith's favorite guitar! 😂
Gretsch: Hi Rabea, really glad you like your Penguin. Hey listen we have this limited edition one we'd be wondering if you'd demo for us. Just you know, do your thing.
Rabea makes video.
Gretsch: Umm, we're gonna need to make more.
I'm gonna need to make more... money.
@@bactareality Truth.
@@bactareality It's their job actually.
Yeah, sounds crazy, I know 😁
Our boy is about to get a signature gretsch at this rate.
Let's not forget about my guy Billy Duffy and The Cult. Dude got those tones with a full-hollow White Falcon.
I always decide I want something AFTER it is no longer available :( I have never been interested in a Penguin before, but I LOVE this Grey/Violet one! Great playing as always Rabea!
it's more versatile than what I heard on first listen. I am surprised by the clean sounds which are really very good in the end. And big distortions are also possible. Really not bad.
That Penguin sounds absolutely awesome and that finish looks incredible as well, great demo Bea
Love that tone in the beginning!
Yes! This is the demo Ive been looking for on this guitar. Of course it can do the typical country thing. Who cares about that? Lets here some rock on this! Beautiful.
Edit: ended up buying one recently. Unbelievable guitar. The pickups are some of the best Ive heard. Crystal clear, and great for rock too!
Thank you! Both have slightly differing voices. Both look fabulous.
Hot damn! That guitar looks and sounds fantastic.
I could listen to this for hours. Man.
They are fantastic guitars ,Both ! The limited edition I has more Bite . Love it 🇺🇸🎼👍
Those tones! 🤯 As always, great video, man!
Your playing never cease to completely amaze me... I could seriously listen to you noodling around for hours on end.. You should really make videos of you doing that! (Maybe not hours, but a longer video anyway)
my god, something magical about this guitar and the Kraken amps, tone for days
Your music is transcendent, good sir.
Awwwwwwww!!! The sound of Gretsch Victory!!!
a treble bleed is a circuit to allow top end to come through when any guitar volume is turned down -where it usually gets darker, The gretsch system is just a series of resistors linked to a switch so you cna select from 3 "tone choices" from dark to light. Its not a treble bleed circuit, FYI. :) keep rockin
The treble bleed is on the master volume control. I have a Gretsch Vintage Select Firebird and it came with that as stock.
You can play anything on any guitar, love gretschs!
@Rabea welp you have just did it. I have been wanting a penguin for years now. But the only videos were the rockabilly stuff that I love but I’m a metal head and punker as well. Just ordered my black penguin. Thanks a bunch!
never been a huge fan of the Penguin aesthetically, but that limited edition one is gorgeous! 😨😨
A lot of fun to watch. When you cranked the gain and hit it, a big grin spread across yer face. Brilliant.
I wonder how it must feel to be an incredibly accomplished guitarist playing a stunning piece and more than half of the comments are about your body...great playing as usual
Holy crap!! That limited edition penguin has a ton of tonal character!
12:12. There's the good stuff. Thats why you give Rabea a Gretsch.
Super wah/filter tones .... great sounding guitar and tastefully played
Sparkle binding.... I'm in love.
To me the white one sounds better.
And you make them sound so amazing, brilliant.
Your vintage white looks absolutely stunning!
That was a glorious racket
Woo, that’s a thick guitar sound. Loved the intro!
The last time I was this early penguins weren't worried about global warming.
This comment wins already....
@@RabeaMassaad About to pull the trigger on a Penguin, man! A Koa Brown Penguin Limited. I’ve had a white penguin in the past but I couldn’t make it work, I HAVE to know that I can get similar tones that your achieving if I’m gonna go Gretsch again though. What do I need?? I’m waiting on my Quad Cortex to be delivered, think that will guide/serve me well in this Gretsch-iest of tonal endeavors?? (PS: Your face when you kicked on the chunky blues-rock overdrive was gold, 🤘🏻)
Great video! Because the Penguin is basically a Jet with bling and a bigger headstock you might want to compare your Penguin to a regular Jet. The Jet is one of the great underrated guitars, whether you're using Filtertrons or Dynasonics.
Such a chill dude that burns up the fretboard. Insanely talented!
I agree, except I need it in a 4" hollow body. I've played everything, metal, punk, rockabilly, funk, country, name it, both amateur and pro, for 40 years on one.
Man, the tones you get are unreal!
You'er playing in a lovely voice today. Could it be those particular guitars are bringing it out of you.
Could listen to you jam all day man. Perfect playing. Tones, licks, all of it. Bang on!
I love the penguin! It's such a beautiful guitar
16:25 KWS tone right on the money! Absolutely CRUSHING bite on that beast. You make any chunk of wood with strings sound stellar. I wouldn’t have ever considered one of these in my arsenal, but there’s tones I didn’t know this thing had. Impressive!
Sounds absolutely vicious. Love it.
Simply fab ... I do love to hear a gretsch playing rock tones
The opening tones show that in your hands those pickups are capable of spitting up blood! but also some nice articulate clean tones in there too. Some sweet stuff there for sure!
My first real guitar was a 1964 Astro Jet. Loved it. Sad it was stolen while I was on tour in the 70s .
Gretsch = Greatness. That and superb Quality control, like Schecter too.
Awesome guitar playing man! Oh my gosh
last time i heared Penguin strolling on facebook
now they in Rabea's hand WOWW
I love Gretsch guitars!
I bet gretsch guitar sales just went through the roof , 👍
Probably. That new color just has a meaner look to it.
Give Rabea anything and he'll make it sound amazing !
So good
Great Demo! I've had a black penguin for a little over 10 years. It's my favourite and only guitar. I will say that I swapped the original dynasonic in the bridge for a TV Jones Classic Plus, but their the single coil in the neck. Absolutely love the sound!
You really need to write a whole delta blues album on that gretsch!! Filtertrons make you sound unreal!
Sounds absolutely killer bro.
Lol…G has become a favorite key for me to demo guitars with and what I tend to noodle in the most. So many options with the open strings and double stop rhythms.
Sounds awesome there much underrated, Dan at tps has a penguin that one whails goodly as well
Would love to see a baritone version of these guitars
there is one no?
@@malungtvnews sssssort of? they stopped using the minihumbuckers in favor of Filter'Trons in all guitars except the bari, so it doesn't get the same sparkle by a lot of others opinion. I don't own one and i've yet to look that far into it so i can't confirm or deny, but it's a rather cheap bari so it's not for everyone i guess.
Man, I wish I could afford this guitar right now! Awesome and thank you for this demo!
I love your playing
These guitars are unreal! I want one so bad.
Gretsch guitars are for my personal tastes the most beautiful of all the electric instruments.
Dan and Mick need to get Bea a Fuzz is all you need shirt.
Or we need to get Dan & Mick an "All You Need is Bea" shirt.
Rabea is the man to spank that Gretch sounds great! I love my Gretch Jet
Big up and huge thank you to Rabi and Gretsch people this vid is awsome !
the first notes @15:12 i was; 'bea got inspired by some late night movies.. 😏'
AD/VG - Black in back
Nice Looking guitar
Gorgeous guitars!
Dammit. I now feel I need a new Gretsch. I love my Stump-o-Matic but this is a thing of beauty
I have 1-pickup custom built cabronita with tv jones filtertron, and it's my main stoner/doom guitar in drop c#. Really liking tv jones for heavy/fuzz sounds
Like hearing Hendrix on a Penguin in that intro, outstanding mate.
God damn, that guitar sounds amazing
Nice. Your vintage white one's got it though!
Came here for rabea found rick graham, which is also extremely well.
Hahahaha! Thought the exact same thing! It wasn't extreeeeemely well, though!
Great tones, as always!
Dude, I know you are a style chameleon but that Gretsch tone and tremolo fit you very well. Seems like you got caught up in the jam, and understandably so... the stuff through the 8 minute mark or so best suited to this for my ear. It's a sound that can stand on it's own so well. The Hendrixy univibe type stuff at the end is pretty spectacular but I'm bias.
12:48 pretty much sums up this demo....great job Bea!
Ooooh that's noice
The best way I can describe that tone is 'gnarly'
Very cool
Love. This. When that octave drops, that's Nuno-ville. Love me some Gretsch.
It did really great with all of the Octave effects. Awesome guitar.
In that intro he played something similar to a part of the intro to Trigun and I'm here for it
Anyone who's ever listened to AC/DC knows Gretsches can do a lot more than just chicken pickin 😅
Amen to that!
Or Cult of Luna 😊
@@srd2415 didn't expect someone mentioning Cult of Luna \m/
@@ITAlife98 They're the kings, for me. And able to cover all of those dynamics (usually) with quite vintage gear, just through sheer musicianship. They'll always be underrated, but amazing nevertheless \m/
@@srd2415 Honestly there is their gear, but also the production. Cult of Luna have an AMAZING producer. I'm not a fan of the band but they have one of the best production in the genre.
Great video, stunning guitar! I LOVE Gretsch guitars, I got a Brian Setzer Hot Rod several years ago. While it's clearly different in specs and build, it also has that great spank and attack and it sounds fantastic with heavier tones.
Thanks for doing this. I have the White one too and was wondering about the difference. The only thing I would change on these is I would get the humpback inlays on the fingerboard. When playing and the lighting gets dark sometimes I get lost on the fretboard. Going to address that when I find the right Custom Shop Jet or Penguin. Also felt the same about the Gretsch filling a tone space in my gear , LP & Strat. Now just need a Tele and a 335 and will have it covered.
Sooooooooo Nice
My G5220 got delivered today, absolutely buzzing, I love it. One day hopefully I can add a Penguin to the collection!
Brian James congrats on your G5220! They are nice guitars arent they? Got one in Casino Gold a little over a month ago now, love it!
Just amazing!!!!
Very nice.
I must admit that I don't like the way the gretsch looks like... but man! This sound is just amazing... I want to try one now... :D Good job!
Daaamn, that looks freakin' awesome!
