Good luck with your search.
Interested in your review on it too
They are beautifully made and look the business although it had a few minor QC issues that I wouldn’t expect in a guitar of that price. Nevertheless, I set it up and played it for a couple of weeks but concluded that I didn’t like the Ray Butts pickups. My other Gretsches have had Dynasonics/T-Armonds and TVJ Classics. Some folk would love the Butts but I guess I’m more of a Dynasonic guy. I also really dislike the Gretsch mud switch and much prefer a proper tone control. I played the Smoke through a Fender 1963 Tremolux, a Fender ‘65 DRRI and a Champ and with various pedals. Not for me.
Really it was just a matter of the Smoke not suiting me but others might find it perfect.
After returning it, which GAK was great about, I tried a G6120TGDS at Guitar Village and it suited me better than the Smoke so I bought that and really like it. My other present Gretsches are Jets (a Firebird and a CLFG) but I also have TVJ Classics in a Tele.
I can also concur that the G6120TGDS is a very cool guitar. I played it myself and it’s lovely. Takes out all the unnecessary quirks from the 50s versions. Too bad they only kept the wider headstock.
Awesome thing.
