Re: The new Gretsch 12 strings?

I am glad you all recognized the fact that "Electromatic" is an Asian-made Gretsch clone.
if you like Gretsch clones, you can check another company who is making a 12-string Gretsch clone, they are called Eastwood Guitars. They now have a custom shop I understand, but no zero fret.
Also, observe the two pictures of Gretsch 12-string models placed in this thread, they have zero-frets. Certain Gretsch guitar models did not have zero frets, like the Anniversary or Country Cub models and their other "budget" guitars with the cheaper pickups.
It doesn't matter if your totally original Gretsch guitar was made in the 12th Century B.C, if it is a Gretsch Budget Guitar, it would not have a zero-fret.
I am not going to answer those who are calling me a troll, because their comments are ignorant.
If you want a new REAL Gretsch, order one from the Gretsch Custom Shop, don't waste $500.00 in any "Electromatic".
