For whatever reason, Gretsch is has/been associated with Country, Rock-a-billy; the Brian Setzer vibe-or Chet Atkins I guess.
I can't recall ever playing with a guitarist that played a Gretsch and I've played with quite a few.
Surprising, since they're quality axes. I suppose Fenders & Gibsons are much more the norm.
The TV Jones versions are true "boutique" instruments, very highly regarded.
I e-mailed them today & asked if they would build a Spectrasonic Bass version-
I have a feeling they won't, but... never know.
