That's right ....... New Guitar Gas.

I want a Duo-Jet(ish). I'm not sure which model - perhaps the one with the Powertrons. Actually, I can't quite decode the differences between some of the Gretsch models, but somewhere in that Duo-Jet/Power-Jet zone there is a guitar that I must have.

Great instruments. A favorite of mine has always been the Powerjet Firebird. Juts a sick, sick guitar that packs one hell of a punch.

The powertrons drive a little more than other Jet model pickups, and visually, she's a stunner. I'll be honest, if it wasn't for the bigsby, I'd probably look at buying one.

If your stance is the same on the trem, then a good pick might be the regular powerjet.

Re: Ngg

I owned a Duo Jet and it was a beautiful guitar, I found it only had one sound though and it wasn't my sound.

Re: Ngg

I saw a guy Wednesday playing one of the black models (I couldn't see from my vantage point whether it had a trem or not) through a Jackson Ampworks Britain. The sound was way beyond awesome.

You know, that doesn't surprise me .... yet, that sound is one that is not available through a Strat or LP!

From what I've heard (and I've never played one) the Gretschs in that line will get close to the Rickenbacher sound. Some have a use for that and many don't.

Re: Ngg

If you like the sound you'll like the guitar. The craftsmanship is amazing. I had the bigsby model.

I would probably pass on the Bigsby. I love trems, but I don't like the idea of rocker or roller type bridges.

It was a pain to change strings! Good call.

Word. I don't know how much of a difference is present between the duo and power jets, but I guess playing them would probably help you figure out which one is for you.

Best of luck with your search!
