Gretsch RB and USA custom Last viewed: 44 minutes ago

Loading...

Anyone find that the shells like a higher tuning? It seems that when compared to say a Yamaha MCA, the Gretsch tuning range is more limited to a higher register. Thoughts or experiences? Obviously, for jazz that isn't a bad thing.

Comparing my early 60's Round Badge (20", 16", 13") to the other major vintage brands, I find them very versatile but it's in the highs where they stand out and are known for.

To say that Gretsch RB's are limited, I don't agree.

I find the RB edges play a big part in their ability to accept mid to low range tunings.

Never play it the same way once.
