Love it

Excellent quality guitar. Not much time has passed since the purchase, about 3 months, so it is too early to say whether there will be any problems in the future. But at the moment the guitar stays in tune well, the frets don’t cut your fingers, everything fits smoothly and looks great. The guitar sounds great too, although I've never used Gretsch pickups before.

It needs lot of work

Out of the box this is not an amazing guitar, it sounds very-very good but doesn't feel as good, it also goes out of of tune constantly.

You need to set it up patiently and if you are not expert, you'll have to watch many general and Bigsby tutorials.

After few days of doing setups I managed to set it right, no tuning issues at all and it feels alright - slightly flimsy on lower part of the neck but amazing on upper parts.

All in all It is great sounding guitar with a decent feel.
