OK using your logic I'll go try to buy one with monopoly money and let you know how it works out for meZurdo wrote:Sorry, boys, Electromatics are NOT the REAL Gretsch. they are what they are, but they are not a REAL Gretsch. whether Made in China, Korea, or Japan, same thing >> NOT REAL GRETSCH.
I am NOT SAYING the China-Korea-Japan -made "Electromatics Gretsch" are BAD, I am saying they are NOT REAL GRETSCH and NONE have a zero fret.
Jay Turser makes a decent Gretsch copy, so does everybody else and their brother, but they are NOT REAL GRETSCH.

Fortunately F.C. Hall bought the company from Adolph Rickenbacker. If not for him Rickenbacker very well may have ended up as a nice piece of past history.fluffy wrote:... does that mean Rickenbacker hasn't really been Rickenbacker since it was purchased and carried on by the Hall family????
hi Peteradmin wrote:Gretsch guitars are great instruments and over the years it seems to me that most models have been in transition with changes occurring in one way or another. My Electromatic seems real to me when I am playing it. Zurdo, what makes a Gretsch a real one?
What's an Electromatic Tennessean?Zurdo wrote:
If you compare an Electromatic "Tennessean" model to a "real" Gretsch Tennessean model, there is no zero fret in the Electromatic "Tennessean". Same for all other Electromatic models. In fact, there is not one Electromatic model with a zero fret, only the replicas made by the new Gretsch Custom Shop have zero frets like the original Gretsch models.

I wasn't aware that Gretsch made reissues under the Korean Electromatic line. Do you have a source for this?Zurdo wrote:
