Get off the fence, this thing is incredible.

I was looking to get a Gretsch for a while. Initially, I dismissed the Rat Rod as some gimmick like the Les Paul Voodoo from years back. But I revisited it, and the more I looked into it and saw videos of people with nothing but praise for the G5410T, I finally opted to do it. I couldn't be happier. The guitar is gorgeous. The matte white with the black binding is striking, and… read more those red pickups pop. Most importantly, it plays awesome and sounds excellent plugged in whether clean, crunched up, or loaded with way too many effects. It's a joy to play, it absolutely scratched the Gretsch itch while also being it's own unique thing. I love it, and have ZERO regrets.

Just Beautiful and Cool

Let's face it. If you're considering this guitar then you're in a specific market. It's a Gretsch, and as a long time player of classic Gretsch's this isn't a departure at its core. It has a similar profile and feel to a legit 6120, and the matching headstock put this over the top on my (must have) list. Electromatics are just great in general, and this is no exception. I received… read more this guitar from Sweetwater a couple weeks ago. I'm still dialing in the setup to my liking. The pickups are a bit darker than my Electromatic Double Jet and 6120 with TV Jones PUs, but they sound good (great on some things). I'm sure they can be adjusted to to sound great all around, and I'll start experimenting with repositioning them soon. Gretsch just doesn't disappoint, and this guitar is so cool and looks so good. I have the Matte Vintage White, and for now it has squelched my desire for a White Falcon. Special thanks to Skyler McGlothlin, my Sales Engineer, for outstanding service. Like Gretsch Guitars, Skyler and Sweetwater never disappoint.

I Love this Guitar

I saw another reviewer had a terrible experience with one of these, and he's right: Gretsch does not always have the best quality control. That's where the good guys at Sweetwater come in. Don't settle for a lemon. Anyway, I love this guitar. It sounds great and feels great. The only thing keeping me from playing it all the time is the fact that my youngest son loves to swipe… read more it whenever he can. I have the gray one. Best looking guitar I own (or maybe ever have). The black one looks good too. The white one? Not so much.

I love this guitar!

Let me start out by saying I'm not your traditional Gretsch kind of guy. I play mostly Tele/Strat and Les Pauls. I bought the Rat rod because it looked really cool and I have been looking for something that sounds and plays different from what I'm used to. This guitar really suits that purpose. Mine is really well built,and I love the neck and action. Intonation was spot on. It… read more also SNARLS when i hook it up to my Marshall DSL 100. From rockabilly to great dirty old school rock, I love this guitar. That being said, it is a hollow body,feedback has to be controlled, it is a big bodied guitar, etc. I switched the .11's to .10's, it did not need a neck adjustment. It has definitely earned a place in my rack.
