The Burning Desire For Another Gretsch

Wildwood.

A class act.

And a "dangerous" place to look.

 

[Pops]

Lou, it seems like you have quite a collection already. Mind if I ask the count?

 

[Lou Coppolino]

It's 101.

Soon (in Nov.), it'll be at 100.

I hope to subtract 2 and add a Gretsch Penguin or Nik Huber Krauster II or Gibson BB King or ??????

My wife told me to subtract before I add.

The flames of GAS burn brightly!

I feel like any 335 lover should seek out a nice Panther at some point. A house that can hold 101 can squeeze one more in.

Tough times, will you be ok?

That would be nice.

Gretsch makes so many great models it’s hard to narrow it down to just one. I want a Falcon…and a 6120…and a 6609 Broadkaster…and a 6118 Anniversary…and a 6119 Tennessee Rose..and a…
It’s hard for me to decide between a 6xxx semi-hollow or 6xxx hollow body. I really want my next guitar to have an ebony fretboard.

I am going through the same experience.

I wanted a Gretsch White Falcon for over 50 years.



I finally found a used one 2 years ago.

Recently, I acquired a limited edition 2 tone Gretsch Falcon.




The quest continues.

So…Hypothetical time. The house is burning down and you can only save five guitars. Which ones do you save?

People, pets, photos, then gear. I can always find another guitar or keyboard.
Can't replace family.

After I save my family, these get saved:

1969 Gibson ES 335

201(?)) Knaggs Severn Tier II

2018 Gretsch White Falcon

1995 Gibson J 185

1994 Gibson L 20 Koa

 

[Henry]

That would be nice.

There's a nice red one on reverb right now.

 

[Lou Coppolino]

It seems that I've been searching forever for that sound.

I've found "that sound" fairly recently and loved that my idol, George Harrison, played Gretsches in his early years.

Mike Campbell is another dyed in the wool Gretschie.

 

[Pops]

So many guitars, so little time…

I’m selling my Broadkaster and it’s mostly because it’s pretty similar to a 335. Just not my thing!
