1962 Gretsch 6186 Clipper Guitar A blues kinda Joe Pass, BB King

[nathanihensel]

theres one of these at my local guitar shop for $950. its a 1958, its a little beat up, but the neck is perfectly straight and there is no serious damage. what do you think about that?

[vintagekory]

@nathanihensel That sounds about right if you like the guitar. In this terrible economy I would try to make a lower offer and negotiate. Guitar prices are way way down, drive a hard bargain! regards

Can't tell you how much I have enjoyed this posting! With this same guitar would you consider "Blues Boy Tune"!

Additionally, what strings are you using?

[bebenavole]

Can u tell me abit abou the neck on this model?Is it thick, thin?

What kind of a shape would you say it it?

I found one in the adds but the guy is not near.

Thanx a lot

@bebenavole If you have played the USA Gibson 1959 reissue Les Paul it is basically just like that only the Gretsch is a maple neck, and the fretboard is Brazilian Rosewood. Don't let knowitall geeks tell you different. I own solid brazilian rosewood guitar and purchased a neck from warmoth that is BR, it is easily identifiable if you can directly compare. The acoustical tone on this guitar is awesome, just wish it had a treble pickup.

@vintagekory, love this clip.........what strings are you using as the tone is phenomenal! I own this exact guitar in a "64" model. I really do not want for a bridge pickup as that void is covered by my 335. I love my clipper just as she is! Would love to see you post "Blues Boy Tune" with this same guitar! The channel is awesome!

[spamevader]

Nice! I like how you took it easy on the effects and ephasized your playing and the guitar's sound.

[kennosen1]

[rehpotsirhcj]

[MingoCity]

Hi ,are you using any effects,or this is just the clipper?

Thks

[vintagekory]

First part, completely nothing but tiny bit of reverb, 2nd part, backing track, eq'd, tiny bit of reverb, a slight overdrive.
