Basically, when we're talking Rockabilly Guitar you've got 3 brands to choose from; Gretsch , Gibson and Fender. I'm mainly playing an Epiphone* so what do I know? No, but the truth is a little more complicated. When you check almost all the guitars (except Fenders who have their own pickups) on this page you'll see that they have either De. Armond/Dynasonic, Filter. Tron or P- 9. 0 pickups. Also, De. Armond made some cheap guitars of their own that sound pretty good. Epiphone guitars are close in quality to Gibsons but at a much lower price. Alternatives: If you don't like paying for the name, the legend or the looks of the high profiled guitars here are some good and cheap alternatives. Only some of these guitars are in production at the moment, but all guitars are relatively new and easy to find on e. Bay for instance.. Epiphone Les Paul 1. Gold. Top.

Comes with or without a real Bigsby B- 6. The pick ups are their own design (Filter. Tron'ish) but usable none the less. I talked to Darrel Higham about the Rockingham and one of the things he said was: . As it is so inexpensive, you can customise the guitar to your hearts content and finish it off to your own personal specifications. Guild forum: Lets. Talk. Guild. com. If you're in doubt about buying a . You can find reviews on just about any guitar, amp, pickup or effect there, new or vintage. According to many reviews the quality equals that of American made guitars. Their shape and construction has little to do with the vintage ones they are supposed to be replicas of, the overall quality is poor but most importantly the sound is nothing to brag about, although not useless. The problem is mainly that the Filter. Tron pickups on those are too 'muddy'/'one- dimensional' sounding while at the same time having 'ice picky' highs. Up through the 9. Gretsch used ceramic magnets in the Filter. Tron's rather than the Alnico magnets they used in the vintage ones. Luckily that's in the past now as all stock Filter.
All but a few of my ancestors who were alive during the Great Depression lived in Kansas so they had to survive the Dust Bowl as well. There was almost no vegetation. Tron- equipped models after 5/0.

It's not necessarily a better choice than the next one. The Gretsch 6. 12. WCST Nashville Western, hand crafted in Fender's Custom Shop in Corona, California, USA. Interestingly enough it has Seymour Duncan Dyna. Sonics and not Fender/Gretsch's own like you see them on the G6. DSW. That says something about the Seymour Duncan Dyna. Sonic I guess. The G6. W- 5. 5 Western Custom Limited Edition is kinda like a model in- between the WCST and the DSW. It has nitrocellulose lacquer and VINTAGE Dyna. Sonics among other things which the DSW doesn't have. Fuller's Vintage Guitar have them at $6. I've seen them go for at around $2,4. Good value/money at that price. I've been told that only 1. I of course have no way of verifying that. The G6. 12. 0DSW Chet Atkins Hollow Body from Gretsch's . Until recently this guitar was called G6. DSW Nashville Western (You can easily find it for around $1,4. Gretsch struck a deal with the estate of Chet Atkins, so now there's a product range called Chet Atkins once again. That could be done for less than USD 1. Check out e- bay) and it would be a better sounding guitar than many much more expensive ones. Now that Fender have taken over manufacturing I wouldn't worry about buying any of the new high end Gretsches.* Last but not least I'd like to mention that the reissue Eddie Cochran models Gretsch 6. W- 1. 95. 7 Eddie Cochran and Eddie Cochran SIGNATURE Hollow Body or one of the latest Brian Setzer models would be interesting to many rockabillies. There's also a ridiculously expensive ($1.

The 5. 12. 0 (5. 12. Many people buy 5. TV Jones Filter. Trons or just . I don't think I would do that, seeing how little a used 6. Bay, but I see why they're doing it. If you prefer double cutaway, then have a look at the G5. Double Cutaway Electromatic in walnut or black finish. They come with the before mentioned . A friend of mine tried it hands on and said the build quality was fine. I wouldn't mind one myself actually. I would put on a Bigsby though. I have this obsession you know: No guitar of mine shall go Bigsby- less. That would add an extra $1. If you have it in you)..: -) A little word of . A guy wrote me that he had done just that and gotten himself a Black Falcon w/Filter. Trons and a dissapointment. Filter. Trons are NOT De. Armonds, then don't sound anything like them. If you like the De. Armond sound on your G5. De. Armonds like the DSV or DSW will give you more of what you have already. A 6. 12. 0 with Filter. Trons is a totally different animal.

Also, the echo was added on the recording (to the WHOLE recording actually and not just the guitar) and not as a built- in effect on the amp. Here are a few tabs for some of Cliff Gallup's famous solos. The Standel company of today are producing re- issues of their legendary amps. Reportedly, the basic 2. L1. 5 sounds good for rockabilly.
