Gretsch G9221 Bobtail Steel RN AE

This guitar has exceeded all my expectations. It is beautiful, sounds - well to be frank, it sounds even better than I thought it would - and it has shot to the top of my preferred guitars in my little collection. Acoustically its louder and thicker than I expected. Electrified, its got an awesome bite (though that partly depends on what you put it through). I put it through a Marshall valve amp yesterday and it sounds fantastic through that. Will try it through my Fishman soon and see what its like through that.

And a special thanks to Thomann, I was really worried about how instruments would fare going through the mail but the packaging is absolutely fantastic. So too are the folks at Thomann International. A BIG Thank you.
