Jeden z mála dostupných polomasívnych akustických archtopov, takže ťažko mu nájsť konkurenciu...

One of the few available semi-massive acoustic archtops, so it's hard to find competition...

A hirdetésben szereplő képek hazudnak, mert nem a 2014-es (vagy 15-ös) kiadás, hanem a pár évvel későbbi (talán 17-es) érkezett. Kicsit másabb a színe és a pickup piros. Erről a változatról több videót lehet találni, mint az első szériáról. Nekem ettől függetlenül nagyon tetszik, alig bírom lerakni. A húrmagasságon állítanom kellett, a húrok pedig egy oktávval lejjebb voltak hangolva- bár ez legyen a legnagyobb baj. Kicsit féltem az akusztikus hangjától, de szerintem szépen cseng. Jók a mélyek és a magasok is. Bedugva szintén nem okozott csalódást. A műanyag hangólófejek (engem zavar, de egyébként kifogástalanul tartják a beállítást) és a furcsa, olcsó érzetű felületkezelés miatt nem kapott tőlem öt csillagot. Mindezt félretéve, az egyik kedvenc gitárom lett.

The pictures in the ad lie, because it is not the 2014 (or 15) edition, but the one a few years later (maybe 17). Slightly different colour and the pickup is red. There are more videos of this version than the first series. I still really like it, can't put it down. I had to adjust the string height, and the strings were tuned an octave lower- although that should be the biggest problem. I was a little afraid of the acoustic sound, but I think it sounds nice. Good lows and good highs. Plugged in, it didn't disappoint either. It didn't get five stars from me because of the plastic pickups (bothers me, but otherwise they hold their setting flawlessly) and the odd, cheap-feeling finish. All that aside, it has become one of my favourite guitars.

Jářku, mám ten nástroj. Velmi jsem ho chtěl, neboť je jedinečný. Jako na potvoru to byla první a doufám poslední kytara, kterou jsem koupil přes e-shop, aniž bych si ji osahal. Gretsche mi dovezli až domů. Unikátní super vintage retro snímač De Armond visel na kabelu nijak neuchycen. Nechápu, jak k tomu došlo. Provizorně jsem ho upevnil ke korpusu samolepící podložkou. Nastala komunikace s Muzikerem. K problému se postavili vzorně a profesionálně, navrhli finanční kompenzaci, kterou jsem vyměnil za přimontování druhé rolny ke krku (jinak má jen jednu). Poslali kurýra a technik snímač kvalifikovaně přimontoval. Konečně jsem si zahrál. Něco tam stále drnčelo. Podložil jsem poťák umístěný na pickguardu. Pak jsem podložil struník. Drnčel totiž on. Snad to při výměně strun vyřeším. Teď to nejlepší. Kytara hraje fantasticky. S lampovým vintage kombem i tranzistorem 30W (s použitím kompresoru) dává dokonalý jazzový a bluesový retro sound, výborná je na dřevní rock´n´roll! Hraje příjemně i bez zapojení. Šikovná do ruky, je-li ruka velká. Nástroj pro staromilce a fajnšmekry nebo pro neklidné jedince toužící po originalitě. Jeden jednocívkový pogumovaný snímač uchycený na tyčce a pickguardu, jeden poťák. Nic víc. Zbytek je na vás. Přesně to jsem chtěl a mám. Když jsem dal 3 * za kvalitu zpracování a celkový dojem, tak jen proto, že mě hoši od Gretsche namíchli s tím utrženým snímačem a drnčením. Jinak je to krásně udělaná kytara s unikátním charakterem a hlazené struny jí sluší. Podobný zvuk dostanete jen ze 60 - 70 let starého kusu nebo mnohem dražších nových nástrojů.

Jarek, I got the tool. I really wanted it because it's unique. It was the first and hopefully the last guitar I bought through an e-shop without touching it. The Gretsch was delivered to my house. The unique super vintage retro De Armond pickup was hanging on the cable without any catch. I don't understand how that happened. I temporarily secured it to the body with a self-adhesive backing. Communication with Muziker ensued. They handled the problem in an exemplary and professional manner, and suggested financial compensation, which I exchanged for attaching a second roller to the neck (otherwise it has only one). They sent a courier and the technician competently fitted the pickup. I finally got to play. Something was still rattling. I backed up the pickguard mounted sweep. Then I shimmed the pickguard. It was the one that was rattling. I'll hopefully fix it when I change the strings. Now for the best part. The guitar plays fantastic. With a vintage tube combo and a 30W transistor (using a compressor) it gives a perfect jazz and blues retro sound, and it's great for wood rock 'n' roll! It plays nicely even without being plugged in. Handy in the hand, if the hand is big. An instrument for old timers and connoisseurs or for restless individuals who want originality. One single-coil rubberized pickup mounted on rod and pickguard, one snare. Nothing more. The rest is up to you. That's exactly what I wanted and got. When I gave 3* for build quality and overall impression, it was only because the Gretsch guys bugged me with the pickup tear off and the rattling. Otherwise, it's a beautifully made guitar with a unique character and the smoothed strings suit it. You only get a similar sound from a 60-70 year old piece or much more expensive new instruments.
