GRETSCH G6122TFM<br />
Players Edition Country Gentleman<br />
Of course the only Gretsch that could be<br />
cooler than a single-cut, is a double cut,<br />
and the Country Gentleman has always<br />
been as good as it gets. Again, for me,<br />
the Players Edition versions are top notch<br />
and a perfect combination of the<br />
traditional and the practical tweaks that<br />
will make life simpler for the modern, err,<br />
country gent.<br />
I’m loving the ebony fretboard on this<br />
(the “Annie” has rosewood) but other<br />
than the flame on the top, outline apart<br />
there is little for me to choose between.<br />
Coming from a Cochran / Duffy / Setzer<br />
Rock kind of direction, the Annie<br />
probably gets it for me, but there is no<br />
denying that the Gent will give you just<br />
as much twang as anything else you<br />
could play, and the addition of the<br />
string-thru Bigsby and pinned bridge<br />
will certainly make life easier when you<br />
are getting into the reality of playing<br />
these guitars.<br />
Does this get me any further forward<br />
with my search for a fridge-sized<br />
guitar? I think it just might..
