Free Gretsch...

Post by dezb1 » Mon Sep 17, 2018 1:43 pm

Audiodeluxe.com the software retailer bought me it, as they wanted the audiodeluxe Instagram handle (which we had as we've been making music under that name since the 90s). I realise some folk might say they got it cheap and I got ripped off, but we never posted a single picture on Instagram - I actually forgot we had an account until they contacted us trying to aquire it... so free Gretsch!!! And it's lovely.

that's awesome!

who picked out the guitar, them or you?
If I was a byrd, I'd be mighty sore every time they shut the door and I don't think I'd sing...

I picked it, been considering a Gretsch for ages - smoke green anniversary or a Tennessee rose - but both are a bit spendy - this scratches the itch, can't believe the quality of this guitar I'd thought it would cost more than twice the price if I didn't already know - can't say enough good things about it.

i have an orange 5120 and it's a great guitar. i'm pretty sure it's the one guitar i would keep if i had to sell everything.

My friend has a 5124? Sparkle one with the dearmond pickups, bit bling but nice all the same.

Damnit, I need to start making more social media handles and sitting on them! That's an amazing story and a cool guitar!

Seriously, if I were you I'd be enjoying that guitar twice as much just for knowing that I got it for "free"!

I'm a huge Gretsch fan so this thread makes me all kinds of happy for you.

Loving it, kicking myself slightly that I waited so long to get my first Gretsch.
