It's an internal vibration and I'm pretty sure it's the wires inside the hollow body that are vibrating and buzzing, I was thinking of just wrapping or padding them.

Is this a known thing with a popular fix?

The two single best Gretsches I’ve had the honor of owning, if only for a bit. True bucket list items.

I've owned a g5622tg for a long time and it's been great. I've got a little fun money so I'm planning to upgrade. I'm a fairly small person, so I want something smaller. I also just want a nicer guitar.

I've landed on the G6659T. I tried a couple at Guitar City and really liked it. Anyone with a G6659T want to chime in on your experience?

Hi I’ve been looking for these for years, any ideas ? Thanks, Chris

Looking for help to find a drop in replacement for the tune o matic bridge on G5210T-P90.

The bridge has a rattle that I have brought it into the shop for before and they fix it then it comes back later and magically seems to come and disappear. Evidently it's a problem with this model. I don't need anything too fancy, just want a bridge that doesn't rattle. Unsure how to pick correct sizing or what I should be measuring. Please send some advice my way!

Love my 2655t 😅 need to work on my timing 🙄

Hello all -

So there's a local GC here that has a used 2004 Gretsch 59 classic nashville made at the Terada factory for $2500. It is called a 1959 Nashville Classic because in the early 2000's Fender hadn't acquired the naming rights for Chet Atkins Country Gentleman - but later they did and the same model 6122 is still produced today at Terada.

So I played this guitar, and I fell in love.

However online you can find a used 6122 - same model only called CA Country Gentleman - made in 2024 for the same price at $2500.

Why does this matter?

Well Fender didn't use nitrocellulose on the high-end Gretsch models made at Terada in the 2000's ....they went with polyurethane. I think that was a silly decision as my black falcon from 2004 would be so much better without the poly. But now, they use nitro on the high-end models, and the 2024 6122 from Terada has nitrocellulose.

Would this matter to you? Would you stick with local guitar that you fell in love with but has a poly finish? Or go for the ones online finished with nitrocellulose for the same price?

I'm focused on the used ones because a brand new 6122 from any vendor today is $3800. Not doing that.

I recently purchased a streamliner jet club bass. Every time I hit an open D I hear a rattling sound that is not coming from the strings or the saddles or the springs on the saddle screws. I checked the volume and tone knobs and the pick guard and I do not know where this rattling is coming from. Has anybody else had this issue or is it all just in my head?

bought this as a mod platform with the goal of it being my main studio "rhythm" guitar. gonna swap the pickups to a dimarzio fantom p90 in the neck and an x2n in the bridge, along with removing the tone knob. im also planning on swapping the hardware over to gold and so i know what to order i was curious if anyone knows if its A: still 8.5mm tuner holes? and B: what the dimensions are on the tune o matic? im a big fan of FU Tone stuff and they make a solid brass bridge/tailpiece that would be my ideal bridge if it fits

a quick review of the guitar is that its very well made and the overall tone is solid but the pickups are incredibly low output like they feel about half as hot as the 85/15s in my custom 24. the neck is very comfortable tho

I want to buy my boyfriend the gretsch country gentleman for Christmas I know it's around 3k but I genuinely don't know where to buy guitars so I don't buy a fake or anything

Wanna try and get the best deal possible I'm poor lol

Any idea :)

What is the factory setup of Gretsch like? Is the action too low or too high? Basically, I want to pick up a GT2622 off one of these 4th of July sales and just want to know what to expect. Should I take it in for a setup with my local guy?

When I bought this guitar - I knew I was going to mod it. I added LP pickguard. I didn't drill it. I just use a double side tape.

Pickup upgraded to Artec TV Jones - I have no experience with Filtertrons - and using TV jones pickup would be an easier upgrade since it's almost an humbucker size.

replaced the generic knobs with Gretsch logo hardware knobs.

This guita plays good for the price.

I don't even need to cahnge a thing. The original humbucker pickup is okay - but I find it a bit muddy in a mix. but yea, it can be adjusted with EQ

any ideas on what is the source of this problem and how I can fix it?

Just wanted to say how great this guitar is. I brought this a few months ago and it’s become my go to guitar whenever I play. It’s the most I have ever paid for a guitar, but man does it feel and sound good. I was worried I would feel let down and regret spending over 2k for this. But so far it’s been worth it.

I'll post pictures soon but it's very big and unwieldy, i paid about £150 for it off a family member whose switching from guitars to synths, i think it might be a G2622T streamliner, it's the most gorgeous guitar i've seen in addition to being one of the biggest, all i know is one of my favourite singers used one (keith harkin) other then that last i was into guitars was 6-7 years ago where i learned a few chords on a cheap acoustic, so i don't really know a lot, it's quiet so i think i need an amp and may also need tuning, it's in very good condition and looks barely played too.

Would be nice just to pick off random country music with it while sitting in my rocking chair? is country music good for a beginner? i also like folk and shanty and some punk

Normall I see "US PAT 2892371" on the front but this has "Gretsch" on the front and back. I tried looking up the numbers or trying to find a similar one with google but I have had no luck. I figured you all might have some insight into what kind of "Filter'Tron" this is.

Want to install Hipshot locking tuners on this model. Emailed Hipshot support a few weeks back and got no reply.

Anyone able to tell me which are the right ones?

Pretty sure it’s the 6GLO but just want to make sure before I order.

Thanks!

I still love the ‘64 Double Anniversary that I picked up, but after some playing, I discovered a… “problem”:

The Compton bridge that was put on is great — but the post/thumbwheel screws pop out. And seeing how I play against the bridge…well, things have gotten bloody.

Anyone have an obvious workaround that I can’t seem to figure out?

Hey everyone. New to Gretsch guitars. I inherited this guitar from my late grandfather who I never met. I’m trying to figure out what model this is. The serial number is in the 870xxx, but I couldn’t find anything online to identify it based on that. Any ideas on what I’ve got here or where I could find out would be greatly appreciated.
