Gretsch G5120 Electromatic Hollowbody Price Paid / Price New: $700 / $850 (list) Year Manufactured: Unsure, purchased new in 2007 Specs:
Instrument Quality: 4/5 Conisdering that this is Gretsch's lower end Korean-made guitar, the construction is excellent. The clear pickguard was a strange design choice - perfectly functional, but a little on the cheesy side. Playbility: 4/5 Excellent, excellent, excellent. The factory setup was perfect. The wide neck is very comfortable, and feels fast. There are a couple of drawbacks though. First, the short scale neck makes it a little harder to be effective over the 14th fret or so. Also, since it's a hollowbody, it's prone to feedback at higher gain settings (not that most people would choose an archtop guitar for metal anyway). Overall Value: 5/5 This is the only hollow body Gretsch guitar that I've ever seen that comes in new under $1k. If it's the sound that you're looking for, the deal is unbeatable. As soon as I laid my hands on it, I knew that it had to come home with me.
