Gretsch Review: G6131 Malcolm Young 2

Gretsch Electric Guitars



History:

Purchase: I bought it in sound control in glasgow for £1399

What I Like About This Gretsch G6131 Malcolm Young 2: I like everything about this Guitar. The sound is great, it has such a classic look and is a replica of Malcolm Young's. The sound is brilliant. There is no crackles or interference and it has the essence of malcolm young's. If you play this on a marshall tube amp, it will sound exactly like Malcolm's trademark axe Another good thing is the weight distribution is perfect.

What I Do NOT Like About The Gretsch G6131 Malcolm Young 2: There is nothing to dislike.

Gretsch G6131 Malcolm Young 2 Quality Rating: The guitar is made with a nice plain wood top (I don't know what kind of wood). On the sides and the back is a beautiful chocolate brown colour. You see your face in it. You can feel and see the quality in this guitar and pictures do it no justice. Also, it has Malcolm's signature on the trussrod cover. Another good feature is that it has unscrewable strap holders, these straps will not come off.



Review Summary: This is not for the new generation of people who seem to think that the best guitar's are the one's that could slay a dragon, this is a true classic. Best used with a marshall tube amp. I could not ask for a better Guitar in my price range. Gretsch aren't exactly the most popular guitars with people my age (17) but My next guitar will certainly be gretsch. That or maybe the angus young sg

Gretsch Catalina Birch - I love my new set. It has great tone and makes me feel good when I play it. The hardware it came with is very sturday and the lacquere finish is stunning. This is a great set and is very affordably priced. If you are seeking an intermediate set or ar...

Gretsch Electromatic Double Jet - I feel like I got a great deal and found a guitar I really love the sound and look of. I found the Ibanez artcore guitar at another shop and bought it as well. I really couldn't afford both guitars, so I'm selling my $900 American Strat to keep the...

Gretsch Catalina Birch Standard Kit - If you’re a weekend drummer like myself and are looking for a new kit add the Gretsch Catalina Birch to your choices. Compared to the intermediates from Tama, Pearl, and others these are a cut above them all. Experience “That great Gretsch Sound”...

Gretsch '61 Tennessean - If yo have alot of cash I would absolutly suggest you get yourself a Gretsch Tennessean. It dosnt have to be as old as mine though! they are all great. If you want a new Gretsch I would go for a Tennessean Rose (Basically my guitar but 40 yrs younger...

Gretsch 6120SSU Brian Setzer Type - It is a beautiful instrument with a tremendous sound, but Gretsch ought to take better care of the finishing. I don't think I will regret the purchase, as I have been using it quite a lot already. It just needed some fixing first. ...

Gretsch Syncromatic - The bottom line on this Guitar in my humble opinion is that it is very different in terms of sound, feel,and looks. With this in mind,{its uniquiness} it is a really nice guitar for any collection of "players". For the price,its good. I would conside...
