Thank you for sharing this experience. You content is very high level and professional. You are an asset to youtube. Thank you for the wonderful playing. 👍
So nice of you! Thank you
unique and beautiful sound
✌️❤️
I have the power jet version with TV Jones. I wasn’t looking to buy at the time, but fell in love with the sound and playability.
Cool!!
Nice Vid Jon. I Love the sound of the chambered Gretsch LP Style Guitars, I’ve had a Pro Jet for some years now. Of course it’s the made in China as part of their Electromatic Series but it sounds Great! Your Friend is very lucky to be able to have this model Gretsch. Sounds Great and your playing as always is Superb!! Have a Great Day my Friend and please keep up the Good Work, I Love your Demos and Reviews! Thanks Jon!!
Thank you Rick!! Yep I must say it's a great looking and sounding guitar although I must admit it's not the type of guitar that I would play.. But I love the experience of playing on a Gretsch with a bigsby✌️😆
The solo(s) at the beginning were mind-boggling. Every video just gets better than the last. Love your phrasing and your channel, Jonathan. Keep up the great work! Much love and support from the US!
Thank you kindly Thad!! I'm glad you enjoyed the videos on the channel 🤓✌️
Good review. I have one of these with TVJones classic pickups. It stays in tune very well. Works great for rock and metal. Let’s remember that Malcolm Young played a gretsch with filtertrons. Many grunge bands have used these too.
But I’m not a fan of the bigsby.. it really needs to be properly setup
A very good Review , thanks ! A good Sound.....
My pleasure ✌️❤️
Outstanding review. I was hoping for a George Harrison lick or two, but what an amazing guitar. Thanks for sharing and may your overtones always harmonize.
Thank you so much Jimmy.. “ may your overtones always harmonize” nice!! ✌️❤️
I have had the G6128T Duo Jet on my "wish list" for quite some time. After watching your video, it is now #1 on my "next up" list, though it might take a while. I own a G5620T that sounds superb and is well-crafted. I added a Vibramate Spoiler, which seems to keep it in tune after using the Bigsby. Thank you, Jonathan!
Hahaha... I'm also thinking of getting one myself... We'll see hahaha
A Vibramate Spoiler? How would that work? (I think a joke flew over my head)
@@tomasotreasaigh111 hahahah
@@matthewperry5310 Thanks for the link Matt✌🤓
Great playing. Nice guitar too
Thanks a lot!
Hey that's really nice man
Thanks!🤓
Filtertrons are great pickups :-)
Yes they are!!!!
I had to rewind when you said it belonged to a friend, I thought you said "..a friend called STEVE VAI." LOL.
hahahh I wish!! 🤓✌
💝
Do you play mostly original music on your videos? If yes, your compositional skills are ace!
Yes all the melodies are original from me ✌️❤️
Very nice guitar, the Gretsch guitars are all very nice, even the ones made in China.
Haven't tried the Chinese made ones yet.. Hopefully.. In the future ✌️🤓
Such a melodic player! If I ever start my channel in earnest, I'd like it to be as cool as yours, Jonathan!! Is there a vid that shows your signal chain?
Thank you Roger.. maybe one day I’ll do one✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud the deep cleans are special, but all are. If you ever get bored, this is me. ua-cam.com/video/f3OuKaNYlWc/v-deo.html
Ciao Jonathan, very nice video. The combination of Bigsby with the roller bridge is fine. But you don't want to play a guitar with Bigsby and a tune-o-matic bridge. I have an SG that came with that combination and I had to swap the bridge with a roller one. Bad engineered, I would say. But this Gretsch sounds very beautiful. Thanks for your video!
Duly noted!!! Thanks for your tips Antonio!! Grazie Millie 🤓✌️
Yes. That bridge shown is the Gretsch space control bridge. The rollers allow you to easily adjust the string spacing to personal preference. The video shows the lower strings are not well aligned over that bridge pickups pole pieces. This could be improved by turning the rollers under those strings until properly centered, if one cares to, it's extremely simple.
Hey, maybe offer to trade that tiny guitar on top of the Laney for your friend's Gretsch!
Enjoyable video, thanks for sharing.
@@montag4516 lol!!! she'll kill me! 😆
Agreed. I replaced the spacer bridge for a roller bridge on my duojet and the tuning stability is great.
Great playing! Tabs to the first song would be appreciated. Also how well does the guitar stay in tune
Thanks...sorry no tabs ✌❤
Hey man unrelated comment but what reflection thing do you use for the mic?
reflection thing?
Oh my, Johnathan... I’ve been looking at this guitar. Is the bridge fixed and stable? Sometimes they float or slide.
The bridge is not pinned. Thus, not fixed. I had the spacer bridge replaced with a roller bridge to improve tuning stability. This was a recommendation from GWorx, who also did the installation. The guitar definitely stays in tune well. But, I don’t use the Bigsby much. The bridge does not tend to move on my guitar, even though it is not pinned. I hope this information helps.
Thank you Dreamscuba for your reply!
Just curious...
Were the strings hitting the back of the bridge on that guitar? I have a silver Gretsch 5230T and on mine they hit the bridge after they cross over the saddles but before they get to the Bigsby.
I literally had to stack metal washers up under the Bigsby to raise it to stop that from happening.
It was causing the strings to bind which was causing tuning problems especially with the trem.
I couldnt raise the bridge because the action would have been too high.
Hi... No they don't.. Did you get yours to play properly in the end? These Gretsch hardware are just so punksteam at times 😆✌️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud
Yeah it's kinda has the Steampunk look. Right?
I wasnt very observant when I watched the video the 1st time, so after I asked you about the bridge I watched it again.
One of the 3 major differences between my Gretsch (They look almost identical..) and that one is the bridge.
That one uses a "Space Control" bridge which has curved slots for the strings to pass over.
Mine uses what's basically a "Tuno-matic" Gibson style bridge.
On the Space Control there is nothing for the strings to bind up on once it passes over the saddle slots.
I need to do some measuring and research to see if the Space Control or an actual roller bridge will solve this design flaw.
Thanks! : )
@@IPushHard That space control bridge was actually the highlight for me as far as hardware is concerned in this guitar!!
That’s about $3000 MIJ.... but I found a Godin montreal w/ bigsby $2,999 Canadian but $2160 USD made in Canada mixed with TV Jone USA parts brand new, that’s shipping included from Canada... Compared to $10,000 MIA Gretsch Hollow body ... on my opinion I got a good deal & plays very good & very happy case included😎
cool!! I love Godin guitars..they are very well made!✌❤
@@JonIsJustTooLoudBrother where u at maybe u can tesr my new IP product for bigsby tuning kit i invented i need someone to test it
I’m in singapore brother. Are the kits available in the market?
@@JonIsJustTooLoud yes watch my UA-cam Bigsby tuning issues part 1 to 3 i need someone to demo my product coz tho im in America im camera shy
@@JonIsJustTooLoud my IP intellectual Property can also fix Duessenberg Tremolo
I love the way a Gretsch looks, but my son always told me that playing one is not looking at one. I'm pretty certain I know what he meant now. After seeing a number of your other videos on Strats, Teles and LP's, it did look like you had to wrestle with this Gretsch a bit.
Yep!! Great observations Holmes!! It needs getting use to... I'm so spoiled by all the comfy guitars that I can owned 😆✌️
But dang!! It sure looks good!!!!😍
It is no harder to play than an LP, except the upper fret access. But then the LP is not the best for that. My DuoJet stats in tune better than my ES-339 used to.
Beautiful guitar fabulous tone what is the cost?where can I buy one in USA?
Google it!!
I recommend buying from Streetsounds, NYC. Rocky is an expert on all things Gretsch, and because this is such a substantial purchase it is wise to use a trusted authorized dealer.
I'm curious, what strings are you using for this demo? Brand and gauge? Thanks
Not sure about the brand.. gauge is 10s
How can this guitar be intonated as I cant see how with it having the roller saddles?
you know what? you're right!! I never thought about it!😆✌
The bar holding the roller saddles is tilted.
There’s no intonation control with this Space Control bridge
How’s the tuning stability sir?
Not really good✌️❤️
What is in the two boxes on facebook? If you ever do Skype lessons I would be interested.
A couple of stuff which I will share with you guys soon....I believe you Alex me about giving skype lessons before..I can't now due to my work schedule ✌️🤓
how much does that specific model cost Jon?
about USD3000 ✌♥
Is that the same one that David Gilmour has?
No idea
