I'm so grateful for the resurrection of this company after I finally woke up to the excellence of Gretsch! I really MUST say that Gretsch, amid a sea of other guitar models, to this day, are one of the Finest sounding and superbly made instruments still and right down to the Electromatic and Streamliner series, but, so are the Telecasters of our day too even down to the Fender-Squire models. We are fortunate today as guitarists indeed.

I am not a Christian. But I love the happier vibe of worship music. Subscribed by the way

[AaronHailesPerillo]

I have a gretsch and I have to admit Nigel got me into it! I really do think Nigel made gretsches a thing in churches and I love mine! It looks so cool and sounds so awesome like the middle ground between a humbucker and a single coil sound. Great video and great playing bro!

[rustysguitar]

I think you’ve talked me in to it! I don’t have a Gretsch right now. Great video!

[jacobpittman]

Great content; great playing. Dare I say, even scholarly in your approach. I am grateful you popped up in my feed. I will be looking for more content from you. Thank you.

The duo jet with dynasonic pickups have that gentle yet powerful sound, full of presence... Remind you of anyone? 😏

[reynaldogarcia]

Greatly enjoy your videos, and your awesome, chill demeanor, in narrating all the useful information you give us all!!!! Cheers!

[marcmistermarc]

You have a very nice sense of melody. Enjoyed listening to your comments about adjusting to a Gretsch.

[clifford]

Thats it great grace sound and explanation..Justin ! Thanks

[smokingtarheel]

This is one of the most informative worship guitar videos yet. You have done your homework and are well prepared. Love the tones and I play mostly acoustic at church.

[AndyHayner]

I have an HSS Nick Johnston Schecter Strat, a Schecter PT90 Telecaster, a Gretch Duo Jet, and an Alvarez Masterworks BG Acoustic. Love 'em all.

I jumped on the Gretsch bandwagon years ago. I saw a beautiful orange G5120 Hollowbody and bought it because I liked its looks, and it was different than my Strat and LP I was playing at the time. Fell in love with it and now have 2 high end Gretsch’s that I use at Service.
I still live my PRS’s, but I use the Gretsch’s a LOT!

Thanks for your very educational video! God bless

[waniswandi]

great and technical. love the great analysis

[terohyvarinen]

Used to be a worship band guitarist. And yes, I think this fellow's ideas are great. I definitely like his analytic thoughts. And, basically, thinking about the guitar sound with the band is quite different from listening to it while playing home alone. The last time I was playing on a gig, I was using a Mesa/Boogie Express. On the road to the gig I thought it might be too metal sounding. The band was big, and I was very happy having that bright sounding thing with me. I could get my solos audible easily without bothering our mixer/band leader.

[Robowx]

My go-to is my Fender 72 reissue Telecaster Thinline.

[lukeheidmusic]

Great video! I didn't think about the guitar as being made to fit that very specific hole in the mix!

[lotharroberts]

What an interesting video. I had no idea. I hope worship bands utilize the Duo Jet as it should be played. They're perfect for the sort of Chet Atkins style of playing. Insturmentals like TV themes and twangy country licks. To me, the less effects the better. Great video.

[stephenbeck]

Thanks Justin. Really interesting. I play acoustic while leading vocals in a very small worship team. We now have another member who can do the same so I’ve been thinking of switching to electric. After your explanation, I’ll start looking more at a humbucker guitar for a fuller sound
