heres 3 from my guitar porn/inspiration folder , the first one i LOVE the design of , cant say why , just do ...... the second tele , just looks sharp to me , personally id change the 2 scratch plate mounted pups for something else tho ..... the jetking bass is funky as , seen one in a hock shop here a while back , stood looking at it for yonkers , was thinking about pulling the trigger on it , but they wanted way to much and the neck was shocking ( <rant> theres a 5 string bass there now , and i swear i can stick my pinky finger inbetween the string and the neck with out it touching , the necks that bad , and they want 4/5ths the price of the bass new for it , AND i told them when it was only half as bad that they need to take it in and get it seen to , only to get told it was upto whoever bought it to do it =\\ , was gonna tell them theyll never sell it like that and why , but it wouldve fell on deaf ears , shame to see a nice instrument go to waste tho </rant> )
That first white one looks like a giant mentos. It sure is a thing of beauty though.

This is my pride and joy. Chris Cheney Gretsch. This guitar is bipolar. Clean+ Glassy one minute and then nasty+ rude the next.just thru playing dynamnics. Use overdrive or pedals it gets even better. I know it mite be hard to imagine but it does sound better than it looks. Cheers!

... and of course just as heir advert has always said, "That Great Gretsch Sound"

Watching Spinal Tap this evening and, on top of all the other wonderfulness, was taken by Derek Smalls's double-necked bass. I almost put this in the "Ugly Guitar" thread, but relented.

I played one of these in New York and was sooooo close to buying it. Alas, funds were a bit short and I didn't want to get slugged with excess baggage charges.
