Going Gretsch
That's great news Aitch! Now I know that I'll get to at least look at it in the flesh so to speak, when I get there.

Actually my Sparkle Jet isn't my first Gretsch, I owned a Synchromatic Malcolm Young model before. Identical to the one on the picture.

I used that one as my main guitar on the album I recorded with the band "The Worst"
Comparing that korean made one with the Japanese made one I now have is like comparing apples and oranges. The Malcolm Young sounded more powerful, the fixed bridge accounts for that but the two Humbuckers did have that nice sparkly "Gretsch" sound. What I didn't like about it (and that was also the reason why I sold it) was that the pickup and tone switches were directly above the neck pickup so I constantly bumped into them. Another thing was the BIG square neck heel, it played rather uncomfortably. And I hated how neck heavy it was.

Re: "Your slippers under my bed would be a real worry!! "
No worries there Aitch. Placing my pick under the strings of you Gretsch would be a much greater threat.
I see you have warned the locals about my unwritten law. It looks like I am not going to get away with anything.
By the way Wouters pardon my manners. Congrats on your new guitar.
