  • how does this guitar for playing music like oasis? im from argentina and im going to the US, i MUST buy a guitar, theyre sooooo cheap there!!

  • Hi, I dont know if this guitar would be good for your type of music but I do have an epiphone es-335, they sound good (maybe like oasis). I'm a rockabilly man, try the epi ;)

  • Hey I'm going to get a Gretsch G5120 to play rockabilly, stuff like Gene Vincent, Buddy Holly, and Eddie Cochran etc, and I was wondering if I should get TV Jones FilterTrons Classics pick-ups? Because right now I'm just a bassist but I've been doing my research can you help?

  • Hi, this guitar is great for rockabilly as standard but once the tv classics where strapped on, it was even better more greasier (like mr setzer). hope this helps, if u have any other questions just ask me. jim

  • I have one of these but I can't get that sound out of it. What are the setting / equipment you are using.

  • Hi, this guitar is great for rockabilly. I use a Vox AD15Vt Amp via a Boss DD3 Delay Pedal. I set the amp so I have a slight bit of gain and no bass with full treble. On my other vids featuring this guitar I have changed the pickups to TVJONES Classics. A very good mod if you want the Setzer Sound. Jim

    For Jazz = "flat" wound electric

    For Rockabilly = "round" wound electric strings

  • Damn it sucks you weren't born back in the 30's so you'd be all ready for the 50's.

  • Very jammin!!!

  • Thanks Jim. I'm gettin' the guitar this Sunday and I'm also getting the pickups.(Can't wait)

  • You have to have an echo pedal. with a very fast slap back. get the danelectro fab echo... It is really cheap and will make this sound...
