We all know that we have a deep and meaningful relationship with Gretsch. How can you NOT!

Aside from our Gretsch guitars though what else do you play? I bet that most of our answers will be very similar!

Telecaster, SC-2 and Epiphone Dot for me. How about you guys?

A few guitars (not Gretsch) that I would like to have...someday!
Reverend Club King and ES-335

Funny enough, although not a slight, my Gretsch is one of my other guitars.

My primary guitar is my Heritage. It just has THE sound I like.

Along with the Gretsch is my old Gibson J55. Father in law gave me that as wanted an acoustic and he knew I normally got guitars and fixed them up. So, after a bit of work, it is a great sounding acoustic.

A Strat that I built from parts, a Yairi acoustic, and my main axe for many years a Carvin 5 string LB75 bass.

southpaw67 · July 21st, 2011, 08:11 AM

When I'm not playing my Gretsch 6120, I play a Fillmore reissue of a 1965 Ventures Mosrite, or a Carvin AE-185 six or twelve string.

peter679 · July 21st, 2011, 08:12 AM

I play an Alvarez ac/el love it, a Gibson Les Paul GT 1960 Classic, a Dean Mustaine V w/ SD Blackouts (my Drop D special).

justshane · July 21st, 2011, 08:40 AM

I LOVE that there are so many "other" brand guitars in these lists!

I am one that "thinned out the herd" as well and discovered how much I love to trade and sell guitars. A lot of it is because I just flat out love guitars and I love getting the chance to try and play all different kinds of guitars. My problem is that I have sort of painted myself into a corner with what I have now! I don't really want to get rid of anything in the current stable! HAHAHA Not a bad problem to have though, it just means no more guitars for awhile until the "Guitar Treasure Chest" gets replenished! I did discover through my Epi Dot that I really love the feel of the thicker neck. So, I think that the next splurge will be a Gibby 335!

What are some names of some good builders right now that are just getting started?

I've had my 335 for years; plays perfectly
but sits in the closet the most;
I play my Gretsch Annie more;
My #1 is my fender deluxe;

6stings · July 21st, 2011, 09:14 AM

Among others:
Steinberger Synapse TranScale
Steinberger XP2 bass
Steinberger Synapse XS-1FPA Custom bass

Sarah93003 · July 21st, 2011, 09:16 AM

Before discovering Gretsch I was primarily a Guild and Gibson player.

Now my main guitar would be my Mosrite Celebrities.

My main "noodling" guitar is a Fender Bullet

My main acoustic is a Takemine

But, my main gigging guitar is my Gretsch Annie.

Poppatwang · July 21st, 2011, 09:18 AM

Telecaster or Guyatone lap steel get the most useage. Along with the Duo Jet that's 95% of what I play.

megabutter · July 21st, 2011, 09:54 AM

Nothing for more than like 2 minutes.

I do have a Strat, Tele and Epi Elitist Broadway.

...and an '87 '62 Re-issue MIJ J-Bass that I want to trade for one of the more inexpensive Hohner B-basses. I'd like that. It wouldn't have as much in the way of excess wording on the model though (1987-1962-re-issue-made-in-japan-Fender-Jazz-Bass whew!).

DaveT · July 21st, 2011, 10:26 AM

My non Gretsch guitars are

-Godin 5th Avenue Acoustic
-Fender Hot Rod Acousic
