  • thanks all for the various recommendations.

    we went to Guitar Guitar in Camden and the staff were really nice.

    The s/h Gretsch Streamliner that I'd wanted KidA to check out was sold by the time we got there, but the sales guy rounded up some other stuff for him to check out, set up a lead and an amp and left us to it.

    the tone of the Gretsch hollow bodies is really lovely, and KidA enjoyed playing them, he tried a fully hollow Electromatic and a (different) centre block Streamliner. In the end though he decided that the larger hollow bodies weren't ideal for his indie rock gigging and chose a Gretsch G5220 Electromatic Jet instead - s/h at a fair price so everyone's happy.

  • Lovely that!

    Guitar shops are dangerous! I went in to try one of those mini amp things, ended up leaving with a small Taylor BT1 on offer. Sounded so nice, and I think I actually prefer the smaller size feels realllll nice to play.

  • Conversely I popped into the Guitar Guitar near me yesterday for a set of strings and ended up having a go on a nice s/h Rickenbacker 330 12 Mapleglo through a Blackstar HTR5 MkIII and ended up leaving with neither! 😜
