Man, that Gretsch sounds great. Gilmour always sounds like himself. Those big soulful bends and his phrasing are such signature things. I love the articulation with each pick attack.
I just picked up that same model in a trade for a Tele. T is such a sweet guitar and has become my late night favorite. Set up a loop and play for hours.
@@MacEnsteinI have a duo jet and I like .008 relief at the 9th fret with action set at 4/64 on the bass and treble side. Strung up with 11’s. Plays and feels great.
Yesterday i went out to get a les paul style guitar as i was listening to gary moor ,i took a look about the guitar shops in glasgow then i found the gretch instead .Dave gilmoures came to mind right away .....i hope i made the right choice rather than going for a les paul copy
he has the gretsch tone toggle switched to the deep setting which most refer to as the mud switch. with the toggle in the position he must be intentionally going for a more reserved and subtler tone.
@@bsharporbflat8378 Are you trying to jmply an sg is a lesser guitar, If so, you have never played the right sg, not taking anything away from jets, there is plenty room for all of it.
Logan McElroy don’t know much about set ups, I would suggest going and getting it done. I own a few gretsch, and leave most of the work to the local techs. Sorry, I couldn’t help.
@@MacEnstein I know this is an old question but I'll still answer. On the Gretsch, first tune the guitar, then press down on the first fret and on the fret where the neck meets the body. Then look at the 7th fret and see if there's room between the string and the fret. If the string is resting on the fret, you need to turn the truss-rod counter-clockwise (looking from the headstock-side). If there's a lot of room between the string and the fret and it feels stiff to play at the nut, then you should turn the truss-rod clockwise. Turn very little at a time, since a small movement goes a long way. There should be a bit of space between the fret and the string, but not a whole lot.(when pressing down on the first fret and the fret where the neck meets the body) Once you have adjusted the neck, then adjust the bridge. It the strings buzz, take it higher, if the strings are too high, then take the bridge down. It's actually fairly easy once you get a hang of it. The relief of the neck is a very personal thing, so it's good to learn how to adjust it yourself to make the guitar play the way you like it to. More relief means the guitar feels stiffer to play and sounds more clear. When you straighten the neck, it starts to feel slinkier and the tone becomes a bit more mellow. So it's about finding the perfect balance in tone, feel and response.

That's the same one he used on his first solo album in 1978, including some of the promo videos. One of the few in his collection that he wasn't willing to auction off.
@@ziggyzipgun He played a Duo Jet on his solo album? That’s a great-sounding record. I find this fascinating, as I play a Gretsch Electromatic Jet that I’ve spent hundreds of dollars upgrading and modifying to my precise tastes, and also an heavily upgraded and modified Gretsch 2255-P90 (I think that’s the model; it’s the first Gretsch semi-hollow to come out with their unique take on P90s); these two guitars suit my personal sound very well (think very psychedelic grunge/stoner rock); however, I love to jam along with Pink Floyd, of whom I’ve been a fan since my early teens in the early 90s, and neither of my guitars-even with excellent amplifiers (Fender and Vox) and top-end pedals (many identical to Dave’s )-can reproduce his tone. It’s not my technique, either: I can make a Strat sound almost exactly like most of his classic tones. I may have to have another listen to ‘Mihalis’ and such.
@@riphopfer5816 Another fun fact: Gilmour's white #0001 Strat was used on Rick Wright's first solo album in 1978, played by Snowy White! Both albums were recorded back-to-back in the same studio, and they pair well together.
