Hi All

was wondering what other players think of new Grestch Electromatic Guitars. I have been looking at them but wonder if any on hands descriptions are available. Im concerned as to the low price may mean poor build quality or cheap electrics etc.. A White Falcon by Grestch can sell for as much as £2000 plus on e bay and most quality Grestch guitars are still up there price wise. Thats why the £500 price tagg makes me think twice would I be getting the real deal or a poor mans grestch. I saw the white one described on E Bay as a White Falcon which I thought was naughty. It may be white but the finish was not as sexy as the real deal.

What do you think Poor Mans Gretsch or just good price?

To a certain extent they are a "poor mans gretsch". I have the G5120. Its wonderful. The only thing I don't like (but i, in a way, do) is that the G5120 has humbuckers instead of filotrons. I use it as my Blues/Swing/Jazz guitar. Its perfect for that kind of music. It is just wonderful. I am so happy that I have it. I can answer any questions if you have them. Btw heres a pic
