I'm also considering ordering the "baby Falcon" model: Gretsch G5422TG Electromatic Hollowbody Double-Cut with Bigsby - Snowcrest White I've just sent an email to my Sweetwater sales engineer asking for the best price he can give me on the "George" and "baby Falcon" models, and for buying both models at once. I'd keep the "George" and give my daughter the "baby Falcon".

Thanks, Steve, those are cool-looking White Falcon swap-outs!

I can get the Gretsch G5422TG Electromatic Hollowbody Double-Cut with Bigsby - Walnut Stain from Sweetwater for $840 but the guitars are back-ordered until May, They do however have the Gretsch G5422TDC Electromatic Hollowbody Double-cut with Bigsby - Orange Stain in stock which is the same guitar as the G5422TG except it doesn't have the gold hardware. I've yet to ask for the best price on this model.

Both nice guitars so it's strictly your choice - orange one has a mid-60's Chet Atkins Nashville vibe, under 7 pounds (perfect for those skinny straps), should be able to save another $120+/- over the walnut/gold version...

Steve, not to hijack this thread, but have you ever tried a Michael Kelly Nostalgia Heirloom?
Thanks! |

IME if you're looking for a suspended-pickup double-duty jazzbox in this price range you'd be far better-served with a good used Korean-made Epiphone Emperor Regent; while it's no competition for a good carved-top, with the proper setup and a set of 13's it can do yeoman service as a true dual-purpose instrument, in the spirit of the all-laminated postwar Gibson ES-150 - some of which could give a contemporary L-7 a run for its money...

Thanks, that's the impression I came away with too.
I am in fact looking for an LH-650, that seems to be clear by now. I might consider an Eastman but the only one I've seen that's not (too) overpriced is an AR610CE with apparently (very atypically) maple B&S. Thing is, I use the classical position; I know it'll work with the Loar but a 17" lower bout might be just too much to handle comfortably. |
