"The Black Pheonix, The Don !"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I think they'll bury me with my Black Pheonix.
Sound
I have owned many Gretsch guitars over the years - this is my favorite by far, deep, jucie, taught & bell like, used with a new fender twin amp - pro series, crystal & ballsy!
Features
Not many features - less is more, very good functional Bigsby, great tuners, I always play my guitars wide open so don't need any tone pots !
Ease of Use
The guitar is 'my bag' & played sweet out of the box. Very playable - but mabe not for shredders - Brian Setzer is'nt exactly a slow player, is he ?
Quality
The quality & finish I could not fault!
Value
I've tried cheeper models, don't kid yourself, they are not the same, Good value mabe a little expensive but I would spend again if I lost mine.
Manufacturer Support
No reel oppinion - never used.
The Wow Factor
This guitar would make a nun moist.
