They chose the absolutely right person to talk about the instrument. The whole time I felt like Julien was directly addressing me (and my little secret music aspirations) and I just REALLY want this now. She can honestly sell me anything.

They chose the only one who can play more than the cowboy chords in Boygenius.

If every marketing video for signature guitar gear felt this personal, I'd have bought every single one. It felt like when you were asking a new friend who's very shy about their favorite hobby, and they don't get to talk about it a lot. The conversation started off slow but you eventually found the right questions to ask to help them open up and they just kept talking, and you listened intently for as long as they wanted to talk because you were just happy they were sharing their joy with you.

The idea that people like Julien conquered a platform to express their truth really feels revolutionary in the guitar world. I hope it will soon be seen as simply _evolutionary_

@monterosamusic 3 місяці тому

Now that's the way to present a guitar. Real to all. Sometimes we don't need a "virtuoso" playing it, we just want ot enjoy a good sounding tool. All power to people like the Vai's and Satrianis or the world, but a good blues or rhythm groove sometimes goes a long way and does the job. I'm a Gretsch owner and not the expensive line, and these instruments are inspiring for me as a singer/songwriter, music producer and live performer. They take you somewhere else. Excelent guitar guys! Will try it soon when it hits the local stores. Cheers!

@Eliguitar1 3 місяці тому

It's very important to use signature guitars to foster the idea of the "band player". There are 1000+ instagram shredders demonstrating the cutting edge of what is difficult to play at the fastest speed possible with no mistakes. But I miss the idea of a bunch of friends hanging out in the basement just to play songs together, not to show off technique or complexity for it's own sake. This looks like a good value band guitar for a band player.

Very nice for the band to be embracing Gretsch. A very cool company that is back in control of the Gretsch family with the help of Fender (who Julien has also promoted; she seems to have a fondness for Telecasters). In their SNL performance Lucy also had a Gretsch for one of the songs (looked like a different model though ?solid body). I recently picked up a used Gretsch Streamliner small semi-hollow body (similar to this one) and was blown away by the playability, overall quality, light weight and cool look for the price. Perfect guitar for a beginner (thinner, flatter neck, low action) who want’s something cool, old school-looking, and different from the mainstream. The light weight and smaller (Jr) body and shorter scale is also great for someone on the smaller side; doesn’t impact the sound. I think this model has upgraded pickups from mine, which still sound great. Don’t hesitate to purchase if you are thinking on it. I don’t think you could go wrong.

MAN, she always just -- says something perfect. The design of this guitar sounds, frankly, awesome -- I'd have killed for a smaller, lower-action, really responsive guitar as a teenager. I got frustrated and gave up learning on my dad's acoustic; I couldn't do bar(re?) chords. I played violin from age 4: I didn't remember sucking just at making sound. (Now, as an adult, I wish I could go back.) But also, the theme of communication. I've been reading about nonverbal -- and verbal, and signed -- communication, language and disability and stigma, dialect, culture, music and all sorts of interrelated concepts all week and I just want another hour of Julien philosophizing about how a guitar links to languaging.
