Gretsch Electromatic Hollow Body Where Can I Find a Gretsch hollow body for $200 in Toronto?
Hello there,
I've recently come across a Gretsch G5120 Electromatic Hollow Body at Steve's Music on Queen Street. I tried it out, and it was literally love at first sigh...errr...play. Unfortunately, I can't shell out $700 to buy it. Does anyone know where I might find it for $200 in or around Toronto? Unfortunately, the internet is out of the question as far as ordering guitars online goes. I know this seems like an impossible feat, but maybe someone has an answer (short of stealing it). I could even settle for an Epiphone.
Serious answers only please,
Thanks
I found one on Craigslist just now,Nothing near a G5, but it is a Gretsch Acoustic, $150.
Looks like the average there is $400-800 , good luck.

Both answers or correct. What's a penny. I looked at the web site and did not see anything on the page for $12.00 My dad bough a guitar very much like this one back in 1955 and it was $600.00 back then . Gretsch and Gibson guitars or manufactured in Boonsville Arkansas.
Gretsch Jet Is the Gretsch Pro Jet good for classic rock/metal?
I was thinking about getting one but I don't know if they're any good for AC/DC or classic metal at all? I play a large variety of stuff but it'd be really useful. thanks
That's a really cool guitar, but it definitely would not be a good fit for AC/DC or metal type stuff. That's a guitar with a more rockabilly or vintage rock and roll sound. You'd want something like a Gibson SG or something like that with "hotter" pickups.
Introduced in 1954 as one of Gretsch's Guitars of the Future, the White Falcon was an overwhelmingly impressive instrument. The influence of this spectacular new guitar spread to other models and guitar manufacturers...

hi, i just got a Gretsch Electromatic Junior Jet bass. you can check it out here: http://www.guitarcenter.com/Gretsch-Guitars-G2202-Electromatic-Junior-Jet-Bass-Guitar-100602747-i1320394.gc its my first bass.
anyway, i kinda knew it was smaller than other basses, but i never new that it being smaller was bad thing. its a short scale bass, and ive gotten alot of feedback that they aren't as good as a long scale bass. But, i have heard that this particular Gretsch bass is a good one, and can anyone tell me if this bass rivals the sounds of longer basses, or if there really is a problem with it at all? I am a big person though, so would a longer bass be better? i am comfortible with it and i love the style, but i have this nagging feeling that i should get a longer one based on what everyone has been saying about the sound quality and ease of slapping. I also love slapping, would this Gretsch be good for it? I have plenty of time to get a refund, but this bass only cost me $175 ^^
If you have bigger fingers the bigger scale is better. This is an instrument you might want to keep around if you want to get a different sound, but as I found out with mini-sized guitars there is just no substitute for the real deal - go back and get a full-scale bass. There is nothing wrong with short-scale basses if you use them right, but they just don't seem to sound as "full" as the 34" scale basses. Also, if you get used to playing the short-scale bass, switching back to the full-size might be a little difficult for a while.
