Garland ,

Nice video, beautiful guitar nice review I like the colour.
Coming from an Acoustic guitar to playing an Electric guitar has a big learning curve, but considering the short amount of time you have had the Gretsch Electric guitar you are doing very well, far better than what I did when I changed to Electric guitar.
I look forward to hearing your play the guitar and giving us all a song or two, and knowing you that won't be to far in the future, nearly forgot, the hat suits you.
Is that your son and grandson at the start of the video.?

Yep, its purdy and has enough knobs to keep you busy for some time. Thanks for the peak.
A friend has an electromatic gretsch 5420, same color as yours. He used my fishman mini for a few months and spoke highly of it. It's a 60 watt transistor amp and its a good, lightweight, all purpose amp but even though my crate tube amp is only 20 watts it has more depth and detail. Used tube amps can be found at a bargain on rare occasions. My friend prefers the mini so its all a matter of personal preference.
Keep on pickin, I like it.

Seagulls live 40 + years....so should our guitars

Derick, ancient1, Thanks guys! It is a pretty thang- the color is a bit deceiving- like right now, for instance it looks turquoise-

but in the video it looks like just a metallic blue and if you look at it close in real time, it is blue-

Derick,the picture is me and my oldest son, about 39 years ago-

Derick, my niece was cleanin out her garage and ran across that picture and sent it to me in a text message- I remember takin the picture and I especially remember the hat- I was shocked when she sent it to me- I used to be a pretty thang

- my son is now 5'11" 230/240 lbs of near solid muscle- he works out 3 or 4 times a week and does Jiu Jitsu- and doesn't play any instrument- LOL- but, he's really good with a hand gun and his AR15-
