Jay Scott - author of the definitive work on Gretsch guitars/company history and former proprietor of Nutty Jazz Guitars - describes it as the "Faberge egg" of the guitar world, and I'd be inclined to agree when it comes to electrics: ornate and intricate, but in that classy way that only Gretsch has been able to pull off successfully; as the former owner of a Martin D-45 - and having played a number of original D'Angelico New Yorkers and a Stromberg Master 400 or three - I'd put it right up there as, to paraphrase Ibanez' terminology in a recent catalog, "guitar royalty"...
