Anyone talk me out of buying a Gretsch?
TLDR This guitar good or nah? 360€/380$
Hi there,
I've been a drummer for most of the last 25 years and I finally started learning acoustic guitar two years ago. Now I also want an electric guitar, and I fell in love with this Gretsch Streamliner Jr while window shopping for a wall mount for my acoustic. I read a lot on this sub an most of it seems to be "Tele vs Strat" or "Fender/Squier vrs Gibson/Epiphone" - but what about Gretsch? I read some reviews about the Streamliner and they seem fine. Is it a good guitar for 360€/380$? Is there something I am missing and I should avoid it at all costs? I often hear that Harley Bentons are just fine for beginners, but some of them are half the price and I don't want to be thrown off by something "too cheap" - then again, 700+€ for a Squier Tele seem to be a bit much for taking the plunge?
