I enjoyed your playing, your humour, and your stance. Great sound!

Hi Carl,

NIce way to Freak out Chet Atkins Fans, where all hear is finger pickin. I have a Gretsch Hollow Body two like yours, there is somethign so addictive about them, and they rock like no other. Keep Rocking Caroline. p.s are you using TVJones Classics?

[Vincentellis79]

what kind of strings do u use on that guitar cause i have the same one and my strings typically just dont sound that great like i can be playin the exact same chord as u and have a crummier sound that u and my amp and guitar are bran new and ive been playin for like 3 years and do great with other guitars its just i dont know what type of strings to put on my gretsch i ve tried dozens of different strings and just cant find the right combination

[SETZERSGRETSCH]

@Vincentellis79 Hi there and thanks for your comment - I use rotosound 10-46 strings, not for any particular reason to be honest, It may be the sound of the amp, with the mid set at just 3 which gives it that big 4x12 sound,whether your playing thru a small combo or 4x12 , but you'll need to use an EQ pedal to boost the mids for solos etc otherwise you wont get heard over the band, Thats it really. Hope its of help buddy - Keep Rockin my friend, Carl

You need to get a band and find a bar room ... and I need to get my hands on a Gretsch.

[basementabilly]

[bryan581167]

Freakin' Awesome!

[BricksJamRoom]

I thought I was the weird one because I like drivin my Setzer Hot Rod Hard

[gtrplr42]

Hey Man, I love the videos. I have recently become a Gretsch fanatic myself. I always played Fenders and Gibsons, constantly switching between the two to get the tone I wanted. I wanted to try something different so I picked up 6129 Duo Jet, and I was blown away!! I couldn't imagine liking a guitar more, until I got my Black Falcon. now I am a Gretsch guy for life. I was thinking about picking up a Setzer model, but I've heard that the neck and the bridge are mismatched radius. is this true?

[SETZERSGRETSCH]

Hi Buddy - Not sure bout that one, but ive never had a problem with them. hope its of help to you. regards

Carl

[TwoTones]

@gtrplr42 I have a Setzer Hot Rod and don't notice any issues. The fretboard is a 9.25" radius which is a bit more rounded than the typical 12". I could see them using the same bridge for the Setzer Hot Rod as they do for the 12"ers but I don't really see how that would cause any issues. What problems would it cause?

[f16pilot92]

i nearly got a gretsch for xmas, but any of the ones i played did not sound right so i got a hallow ibanez which is just as good

if you'll take a look or if anyone is looking for a cheaper alternative

great guitar you have though, sounds brilliant

[ksgant]

Just a quick question on these...I have my eye not on a 6120, but a 6188...which is basically the same thing from what I understand. But my question is, how stable is the tuning on these with the Bigsby? Are you constantly retuning at a gig after each song or is it stable for the most part?

Great series of videos btw!

[SETZERSGRETSCH]

Hi Buddy and thanx for your question, Yes ive never had a problem with the bigsby with regard to tuning, and i do give it some, so be rest assured, it'll be fine. Hope this is of help to you

rock n roll

Carl

[adidas331]

great stuff! now try that creamy stuff on your V! should be interesting. your living the dream my friend! rock on!

[ksgant]

Thanks for posting this. It's nice to see this fine fine guitar not only relegated to rockabilly only. That's all you seem to see people play with it, when in fact it's a VERY versatile guitar for just about any genre of music.

Love your videos and music!

[oddjobb88]

this is brilliant. here i am sitting with my own Gretsch Setzer 6120ssu and i found this. now i LOVE this guitar and generally "try" to play rockabilly/psychobilly but i do love to rock out too. it's super fun. it's great to see this video showing other players out there, just what a Gretsch can do. why get anything else?

anyway.... love the video.

cheers

[LILKUNFRI]

yeah rock'n'roll men !

[baeh123456]

I luv the ssllvo 6120 It´s sooo beauty full and the sound is just grrrrrrrrreat :oD

[SETZERSGRETSCH]
