Talk:Gretsch

message: Jack White uses Gretsch acoustic guitars with the white stripes, the raconteurs, as well as the dead weather, he also often uses his custom Gretsch triple jet with the copper top, mainly within the raconteurs. His Gretsch guitars are shown in various music videos and live performances with all of his musical groups. (2602:306:BC58:5410:3975:F40F:D8BA:DA23 (talk) 02:45, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Mention [[Jack White!]]

message: Remarkable that the main article about Gretsch, especially since the guitars are so prominent, is silent about AC/DC's rhythm (and sometimes lead) guitarist, who favors the Jet Firebird but has also played the White Falcon and Roundup.  For shame. 
I agree, Malcom was Known for his Gretsch G6131.

thread_title: No mention of [[Malcolm Young]]?

message: Prior to the Living End, Billy Zoom of X had used a Gretsch Roc-Jet. Johnny Thunders occasionally used them as well.
While it is debatable whether The White Stripes are a punk band, Jack White has used a Gretsch White Falcon on 
the most recent tour in addition to his usual National guitar. Punk-rockabilly band The Legendary Shack Shakers also employ Gretsch guitars.
Billy Zoom still uses that silver Gretsch by the way. And seeing as how X has been around since 1978 I think its worth a mention on the page.

message: Just as an addition to the text (maybe at the "Resurgence" period) I'd point to Poison Ivy, guitar player of The Cramps, as the first rockabilly revival band guitar player to ever use a Gretsch.

thread_title:  Add new guitarist 

message: This article is in desperate need of a better introduction. It tells you nothing about the company as it stands except for some vague accusations that every single product bearing the Gretsch name is manufactured abroad. That information, if it can be substantiated, belongs deep in the body of the article and does not serve as an appropriate overview for the company.  Furthermore, I know that's all a load of bull anyway, because the Gretsch USA Custom series drums are, in fact, handmade in Georgia. Supraphonic (talk) 03:08, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, it really doesn't have an introduction at all.  Hopefully someone with the necessary knowledge who can write and doesn't have an axe (heh) to grind can give this article a proper intro, rather than an argument.  MrBook (talk) 15:43, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Introduction 

message: Isn't it erroneous to list the Jet series as solid bodies? They're semi-hollow/chambered/semi-solid or arguably even hollow but definitely not solid. 
it seems especially important given it's a commonly held perception that they are solid due to the lack of f holes.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Abdul tom (talk • contribs) 14:45, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Solid body? 

message: The introduction says that Gretsch is a German company, which is not supported by the sources. Company website (and this article) say that the company was founded in Brooklyn, NY, USA; and that its Headquarters are in Ridgeland, SC, USA.

message: The usual problem with this type of arm-waving fanboy nonsense is that said fanboys soon get bored and wander off, leaving a pile of factoids that quickly becomes outdated, and without having had the good graces to even put a date in the heading so that hapless readers might know that it's "current" as of WHEN exactly.
Withthat in mind, I will make a cursory comparison between the srticle's list and the Gretsch website. If I find significant discrepancy, I will remove as much as I see fit. Alternatively, others may perform maintenance on the list, and make clear the date of the most recent revision. Weeb Dingle (talk) 03:21, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Looking over that section, I'd support removing it entirely. Perhaps replacing it with a one or two sentence paragraph covering the styles of guitars currently made. With a preceding "As of date", of course. - Ryk72 'c.s.n.s.' 03:41, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

First to go: Mike Nesmith's guitar. The comment itself is actually almost relevant, but pasting the attribution into the text only make the tale unreadable. As I cannot verify the claim, I'll post it here:

message: "John from Idegon" reverted an edit of 1 May 2019 by Dl73. The proposed edit corrected and updated numerous issues now restored. The proposed edit was neither "unconstructive" nor disruptive. This was a comprehensive overhaul, but throughout a good-faith edit. It was conscientiously supported by reliable secondary sources - as may be demonstrated on due investigation - and completed cognizant of prescribed policies and guidelines.

In 1990, Setzer became the first player since Chet Atkins to be honored with a signature-model Gretsch, the "Brian Setzer 6120", first of a line of Setzer signature models.

thread_title:  RE: No Mention of George Van Eps?! 

message: Although users have previously deleted 'current models', I thought the current list of Gretsch guitars seriously lacking and have expanded upon this list, adding current products from their website. I've also placed the list under a sub-heading called 'Models' and added a further sub-heading of 'Notable Players' which was noticeably absent and to which many users have complained on this talk page are not discussed in the article.
I do have one further suggestion / point for discussion: what if the current list of models was categorised into the "families" of Country Gentlemen, Falcon, Jet, Penguin, etc, and have separate lists of the specific models under each?  I think this would make the article more readable and easier to maintain.
