I'm still fascinated by the "Rat Rod"- I'm thinkin, all the different sounds- possibly every acoustic I have can be matched? So, I'm lookin on you tube and ran across this- who does he remind you of at first glance?

Congrata on your Gretsch! I had heard bad reviews of this guitar, but it sounds great. How do you feel about it months later?

@rock N' Rick thanks for letting me know! I just got a strat myself, but feel I am not getting what I want for western and rockabilly tones. I love the looks of these models and was considering getting one. You sold me on one. Cheers

He also said he's using a Vox amp in another comment

Garland,

1, it looked a bit like PHJim.
2, yes I saw what you did there, he was good at Noodling.
3, it's possible that you may prefer the Gretsch Stream Liner over the Rat Rod, as the Rat Rod has a Bigby fitted to it, they are quite heavy, the guy playing his Christmas present early stated, "it's a bit body heavy and needed a strap to stop it sliping".

Do I win a prize for getting no 1 right.

Derick, You get extra points

Seems like I need to get to the GC and have a look see- I've watched a few videos of some of them (different models)and my take away is; they sound good even without a pick

and for me that is imperative- and I just ran across this one- they have so many numbers for models it's hard to keep up- they remind me of Harley Davidson who use so many letters for model designation- but, anyway, here's a G2420T billed as a Rock-a-Billy model and referencing British musicians- and all this time I thought Rock-a-Billy was southern US thang- and it has open tuners, which I have weakness for that is a reason I'm drawn to the Rat Rod
