![]() ![]() Lots of good advice as always in all the other posts. My advice would be before dropping that type of money definitely try one first as no doubt we have all been in the position where we have gotten our 'holy grail' item only to find out it's not really what we wanted, if you can't find one for sale locally there are companies that will hire out gear so do some searching and see if you can hire one for a week, or see if there are any studios close too you that has one and ask if you can have a go of it, you will know with 2 minutes of playing where it's for you or not.Īlso where are you located? going off the prices you are listing it sounds like you may be in Australia lol. Yes I believe the prolines are worth the money over the Electromatic and Streamliner series for a number of reason, all of which everyone has covered, in saying that though I own prolines, electromatics and a Squier telecaster and honestly get the same enjoyment out of playing all of them.Īs for the white falcon, it is one of those pinnacle Gretsch guitars, the one that Gretsch fans aspire to own, they look fantastic and sound great but for me being a smaller guy I am more at home playing my 16' body guitars, in saying that I have not played a White Falcon and I have a fair idea that I would like it as I am a fan of the bigger scale and my idols play them so there is that too but I have played other similar sized guitars and it just felt 'a little too big' so for the money they are it's a no from me, especially when for the price of a new falcon I managed to grab both my white penguin and my 6120SSL (mostly through luck on that though). But if I never got another guitar, I'd be content making music on this for an eternity. I'm likely never going to be done exploring sounds and instruments. ![]() It's all such a personal thing but I'm happy with my decision and would do it again without batting an eye. There was something about taking myself more seriously by committing to this level of instrument. And like you, I felt the need to have a "professional" instrument (at least that's how I'm interpreting your original post). I've changed my pedalboard and my amp to match and the whole experience has helped me further develop as a player and as a writer. ![]() However, this guitar does inspire me in its unique way. But I should point out that anything new tends to do that. However, the truncated sustain of the hollowbody allows most of those songs to translate on the CC and that allows for some really cool versions of those songs. I play several songs on the aforementioned Guild. Another key element for me is that I could do an entire gig with just the CC.However, the Gretsch was just a notch or two up from that. But otherwise, everything on the Reverend is spot on and reliable. It's solid and the only issue I ever had with it was that I had to file the edges of the saddle on the G string. ![]() The build quality of the Reverend is pretty darn good.It's a nice fit for my frame (I'm 6'1" and I've got long arms). It's like having an electric version of my Guild Jumbo. The body of the CC, like the Falcon is large.I always loved that pickup and played nearly exclusively with it but when I got the Gretsch, I found I much preferred the HS. the CC pickups (HS Filtertrons) are exponentially more clear than the Rev'tron (it's a Buckshot).Featuring all-new FT-5E Filter’Tron pickups, a laminated maple body with vintage-inspired perimeters and refined arches, and trestle block bracing.Click to expand.The main differences between them are:.G5420T-140 Electromatic 140th Double Platinum Hollow Body with Bigsby.Featuring a Solid Adirondack Red Spruce top with maple back and sides, ML bracing, 12” radius ebony fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets, rolled edges, and pearloid Neo-Classic thumbnail inlays, FT-67 Filter’Tron humbucking pickups, an Adjusto-Matic bridge with pinned ebony base, and a String-Thru Bigsby B6CP tailpiece.G6118T-140 LTD 140th Double Platinum Anniversary with String-Thru Bigsby.Equipped with FT-67 Filter’Tron™ humbucking pickups that provide unmistakable Gretsch tone, and featuring a Solid Adirondack Red Spruce top paired with a chambered mahogany body and a two-tone nitrocellulose lacquer finish.G6134T-140 LTD 140th Double Platinum Penguin with String-Thru Bigsby.Featuring a Solid Adirondack Red Spruce top, maple back and sides, ML bracing, all-new FT-67 Filter’Tron humbucking pickups, and a stunning two-tone nitrocellulose lacquer finish.G6136T-140 LTD 140th Double Platinum Falcon Hollow Body with String-Thru Bigsby. ![]()
