2004 Gretsch Nashville Golden Anniversary model in original music, intended as demo of guitar to compare with 2008 Gretsch 6118-125 Anniversary model Anniversary (see other video).

Also includes Barber Tone Press compressor, Paul Cochran Tim overdrive, Seymour Duncan Twin Tube Classic preamp, Dunlop Stereo Tremolo, Boss DD-20 delay, and Boss RC20XL looper in various combinations. Live in-studio performance, no overdubs, playing over loop recorded on first pass.

Cool - what string gauge do you use?

That amazing tone just tore my heart out!

I guess I have to get a Gretsch. And no other trem sounds like a Bigsby.

Hi Proteus, thanks for demo both Gretsch models, which is of great help making my choice.

Maybe it's in my ears, but the 6118 GA sounds a bit more sparkling vs the 6118-125, which sounds a bit fuller or controlled?

Is this because of TV Jones classics vs TV Jones powertrons, apart from the difference in bracing?

Thanks, and keep up playing!
