Description
I had got it in my head that I needed a guitar with P90's. Of course this was just the latest in a long line of excuses for justifying buying a new guitar. I went into Guitar Paradise after work on a Thursday to try out a single cut Gretsch and instantly hated the feel, weight, quality of it.
The store manager then pulled this guitar off the wall and suggested I try it and that was that. I walked out empty handed. Called my wife on the way home, went to bed, and was back the next morning at opening time. The store manager had a laugh when she saw me and threw in a set of strings to send me on my way.
Of all the guitars I own, this one gets the most compliments for being "beautiful" and I must agree. I've always had a soft spot for white guitars and even more so guitars with natural backs. This is a double winner.
