I just bought myself a new toy
A Gretsch G2210 Streamliner Junior Jet Club - imperial stain
In the next months I will try to upgrade my gear which was a very basic guitar set for beginners
I bought it just to see if I will get hooked and not stop playing after just a few weeks …
Now its time to buy some better equipment
A huge thanks to @DarrellW for all his advices on what to buy
I need to get used to the new neck and she’s a bit heavier than my old plonk plonk
nothing that a few days of practice can t overcome
( The cat behind is Maxwell, he likes music , last evening he tried to play some piano on his own … I was trying to get some sleep so it wasn t the best timing to play piano )
Planning to rotate around the collection and get a feel for what sounds good, with the different style of Blues. I have a couple of Washburn hollow bodies that are 335 clones that are good Blues tools as well. Lots of choice !
Well so you gone and done it
She looks gorgeous, have you given her a name yet? Great choice, yes they are a little bit heavy but not as heavy as an Epiphone equivalent! A decent wide (around 75mm) strap will help a lot, and don’t forget to use strap locks. I do have a bit of advice with choice of what to get there which will save you money!
Have fun and enjoy it, make sure that you keep her where she can see you - she’ll be calling you to pick her up more often
Haha, do you want some help? Do you have a favourite girls name? Is there a female artist who you really like? Do you have a favourite actress?
There’s a couple of ideas for starters!
Nice! I never played Gretsch, still on my to-do list…
Are you planing to get a setup done?
I send all my guitars for a setup as soon as possible and it always seems like it is taking forever for them to do it
