How do you rate perfection?
jodolittle 01.01.2021
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.

Perfection! Just what I had been expecting: perfectly finished, wonderful tone (both electro-acoustic and unplugged), high sustain and great tuning stability. It's one of the best resonator guitars ever conceived and the build is just fantastic. Try it on anything like "Water of Love" and you'll instantly see the fit. Thanks to Thomann for their continuous efforts in ensuring the high quality of the products they sell to customers (never had to return anything up to now) and in having chosen only the most reliable of delivery services. Hats off, guys!

Stunning Resonator Guitar
shadeyshades 10.03.2022
I love this guitar! It sounds better unplugged than plugged in. A raw sound, a big sound. This baby is loud! One drawback is that when it is plugged in there is no volume control on the guitar itself, but it sounds better unplugged anyway. A heavy beast of a guitar, with a heavy, gutsy sound. This axe will not disappoint!

Eine Gitarre mit viel Resonanz
leo dobro 15.06.2018
Ich hatte Zeit, die man sich auch nehmen sollte, und da ich eh in der Nähe von Treppendorf war, nutzte ich die Gelegenheit um einige Gitarren auszuprobieren.
Die Auswahl der ausgestellten Resonatoren in der mir vorschwebenden Preisklasse war überschaubar. (dies schloss die Auswahl der Gitarren hinter Glas aus)
Aber ich fand schnell heraus, welcher Gitarrentyp zu meinen Klangvorstellungen von einer Resonatorgitarre passte.
Es musste eine mit Stahlkorpus sein und mit Tonabnehmer.
So empfahl mir der freundliche Thomann Berater Die Gretsch mit Tonabnehmer.
Nach eineinhalb Stunden Wartezeit, war sie endlich aus dem Lager und in meinen Händen.
Ich stürmte gleich hoch in die Verstärker Kabine um sie in Ruhe zu testen.
Erster Eindruck: der Blechkasten hat schon Gewicht.
Aber wenn man sitzt fällt das kaum mehr ins ? Gewicht?.
Optisch betrachtet ist die Gitarre sowieso ein Hingucker.
Hals und Korpus sehen hochwertig verarbeitet aus und fühlen sich auch so an.
Auch was die Bespielbarkeit betrifft spürte ich keine Hemmnisse im Vergleich zu meiner Westerngitarre.
Die Gitarre ist sehr laut, was ja der ursprüngliche Sinn dieser Bauart war.
Der Klang umwerfend schön und authentisch.
Dann wollte ich noch wissen, wie die Gitarre über Verstärker klingt.
Mein Eindruck: der (unsichtbare) Tonabnehmer gibt den Klang eins zu eins wieder.
Ich spiele die Gitarre mit Plektrum, aber auch mit Fingerpicking.
Der Reiz des Instruments ist für mich, dass sich die Klangcharakteristik in Abhängigkeit von der Anschlagstärke ändert.
