After work i'm going to pop into a local guitar store to try a few guitars and have seen they have some Gretsch Players Edition plus other models.
Very interested by the G6128T Players Edition Jet. Anyone own one? Versatile? Well made? They have Vintage Select and the Cliff Gallup Signature in the Jet. But i'm open up to other models. Looking for mojo and versatility! Can it get through a function gig clean funk to classic rock? Jet a good option?
Any one own any other Gretsch Guitars that would be worth checking out?
Very surprised to see the vintage select guitar range isn't finish in nitro and is over 2.5k!
Would love to know your thoughts

My G6118T Players Edition is also rather good. It feeds back even on the clean channel if you let it, which is both a blessing and a curse - good that it's so alive, bad that it won't handle high gain.
I don't have any experience of the solid bodies but I do know that the Japanese-made stuff is sure to be of the utmost quality.
If it was me I'd be buying used on here, so many bargains to be had!
Agree about the Streamliners, particularly the G2420T. Nice chunky neck too. Swap out the pickups for Filtertrons, and it’ll take on the more expensive G5420 head to head.
I’m an Annie fan through and through. Same construction as the 6120, slightly thinner body, awesome pickups, not as blingy as a 6120. My perfect Gretsch. Love them....great used buy too!
The Annie in the GuitarGuitar sale s a stupid low price for a new Gretsch, (£1599), but some better deals to be had in the classifieds here.

They appear to be down to just one now, as soon as that goes the used ones are more likely to shift...
