Player's Perspective
Music Store Live is proud to present this Gretsch G5191BK Tim Armstrong Signature Electromatic Hollow Body! Whether you fell in love with Tim Armstrong through Rancid or Operation Ivy or The Transplants, or maybe even through one of his many collaborations over the years, is inconsequential. What matters is how ridiculously sweet his signature series Gretsch guitar is. Tonally speaking, this beast is multi-dimensional with a big brash sound that always rings out loud and clear. While this is not your average Punk guitar, this axe is capable of producing deep and warm hollow body tones as well as biting crunch and pure overdriven evil. The neck is a joy to play with its smooth finish and easy profile. The setup is right on the money - the neck is straight, the action is low and the intonation is spot on. This beast shreds. Get some.
