Comments about Gretsch G5120 Electromatic Hollow Body Electric Guitar (Assorted Colors):

I couldn't afford the $2500 big boy Gretsch 6120 so I bought the 5120 Electromatic for the price. Wow, I'm sure glad I did. This guitar makes me smile every time I play it. Great action and feel. Tone out the wazoo. This baby goes as far as you want to.

Comments about Gretsch G5120 Electromatic Hollow Body Electric Guitar (Assorted Colors):

This guitar is unbelievable. Put this a lot of reverb and you have a great jazz, blues sound. It plays distortion great and is fairly light weight. The Bigsby works really well and feels good. Unbelievable guitar, especially for such a low price. Could easily be $1,500.

Comments about Gretsch G5120 Electromatic Hollow Body Electric Guitar (Assorted Colors):

This guitar is awesome! For the price, Gretsch has really out done itself. It plays and feels like a much more expensive guitar. I prefer playing it over my other guitars that cost me [$]. The tone is wonderful through my HotRod Deluxe and so much fun through my POD. The Bigsby tremelo is better than I thought it would be. I have had no problems with it going out of tune. Very well made. I would recommend this guitar to anyone looking for great play and tone. So much fun.

Comments about Gretsch G5120 Electromatic Hollow Body Electric Guitar (Assorted Colors):

I have only had mine for a short time but I am alreay in love with it! The orange finish is flawless as it the bindings and the chrome against the orange finish is very classy! The tone is good but not as powerful as I would like and I will probably switch the stock pickups for the better Gretsch pickups. And while the bridge is ok I will also swap it for a better one. The jury is still out on the tuners .... maybe, maybe not! A set of good locking ones would improve the tuning stability, although it's not bad the way it is. The pickguard is transparent and does not have the Gretsch logo on it. I have already made a replacement. I improvised on the logo by cutting out the letters by hand and glueing them on the back of the plexiglass and then painted just the back with Valspar Antique White. It's almost a match with the binding and looks great. But even if I didn't change a thing I would still love this guitar! A side note ... my wife thinks it the coolest guitar I own and I have some very nice ones! If you are thinking about getting one ... DO IT!!!

Comments about Gretsch G5120 Electromatic Hollow Body Electric Guitar (Assorted Colors):

Incredibly fun to play. It sounds fantastic when not plugged in. But it sounds only average plugged in. The whammy and tuners feel really cheap too. Get this guitar and swap out the pickups, tuners, bridge and whammy, and you got a truly amazing guitar still for under $1,000.

Comments about Gretsch G5120 Electromatic Hollow Body Electric Guitar (Assorted Colors):

This is a Gretsch for someone who is on a tight budget but wants a great sounding guitar. My 5120 is black but no matter what color you get, you are getting a very well built guitar with great sound and playability. I use mine on stage and at home. This guitar sounds great without effects, in fact I rarely use any when I play live or even at home because it sounds so great. Yes kids, you can add some distortion and it will rock the loud stuff too. No matter if you are hard rockin or playin clean this guitar is my baby and I will be buying other Gretsch guitars in the future. This is a must have guitar. You can now have a champagne taste on a beer budget

Comments about Gretsch G5120 Electromatic Hollow Body Electric Guitar (Assorted Colors):

Bought this black beauty [...], could not be happier. Does everything I wanted in a twangster, sweet and smooth. A little annoyed at myself for waiting too long. If you're in the market for a sweet hollowbody, you owe it to yourself to try one...

Comments about Gretsch G5120 Electromatic Hollow Body Electric Guitar (Assorted Colors):

I ordered this Gretsch [...]. I chose the black. This guitar is beautiful. The overall quality of the fit, finish, and playability, is on par with anything out there for a lot less money. I was leary about the price. I thought only the higher priced models would give me the kind of performance I was looking for in a hollowbody. Gretsch is honest when they say don't be fooled by the price. This really is a professional quality guitar at a great price. I would buy it again in a minute.
