A New Gent

[shamburg]

I've been a fingerpicker for 50 years, playing mostly in the Kottke, Travis, and Chet styles. I've played mostly acoustics, with a few Teles and Strats thrown in.

Yesterday I received my first Gretsch—a sparkling 62 Country Gent. Pairing it with a Tone King Falcon Grande amp.

Looking forward to making great sounds and happy to join this community.

Welcome to the forum, and a really nice "starter" Gretsch. I am sure that it won't be your last Gretsch if you are anything like us.

Welcome to Gretsch-Talk! That sounds like a wonderful pairing with the Tone King.

Congrats and welcome. Do be aware Gretsch guitars are highly addictive. One will not be enough.
