Gretsch G6122T-62VS Chet AtkinsCGWS

I have played guitar since childhood, decided to buy myself this guitar as i aproach seventy- years of age. The guitar was difficult to tune, lots of string buzz and dead spots. Lots of other problems, it looks and feels cheap-made. When i contacted THOMANN, they offered the full refund. But i decided to keep it anyway, and get a proper set-up.(new strings, nut and fret work, also the truss-rod was over tight.) The pickups sound lovely. the switches a bit scratchy, Grovers ok. The case(canada - made?) will not close properly due to faulty catches, and looks like something also made in china. Not the quality expected from Gretsch or Thomann. Problems aside, i kept it, and i like it,play it everyday.OK.
