Electric Guitar Review

With hand-crafted attention to detail, and top quality hardware and electronics, the T-series from Valley Arts elevates a classic American design to a new level of beauty and performance.

Painstaking attention to detail in every phase of construction allows for an instrument of unparalleled beauty and playability.

Valley Arts was founded in North Hollywood in the early 1970’s by guitarists Mike McGuire and Al Carness. Through retail, repair, teaching, and custom manufacturing services, they built a clientele that included virtually every important guitarist in Los Angeles. Although they left the business in 1993, both were working for Gibson when Gibson acquired Valley Arts in 2002.

Get ready for some serious Twangin’ up ahead, because this stylish guitar has the vibe and tone that will make you dancing the Twist until 2 a.m. Don’t let the price fool you, because these are serious professional guitars with such features as newly designed Gretsch dual-coil pickups, adjustable bridge, chrome-plated die cast tuners, and wicked cool colors!

Feature:
The guitar stays in tune, but they are just thin, cheap, and look out of place on such a finely made instrument.

Quality:
This is a relatively lower cost guitar right? You would never know it from the quality. Just terrific from top to bottom, (with the exception of the tuning pegs). Yes, it’s made in Korea. So is your car. Stop worrying about it. You can’t go wrong here.

Value:
This is a yes, it is worth the money, and they will never loose value. Check latest price!

Desirability:
Chicks dig guitarist, especially when they have a unique looking guitar, Gretsch offers that and more.

Sound:
Top quality at an affordable price. It’s just so much fun to play. Great roots/surf twangs off the bridge pickups. Nice fat crunch off the middle and neck pickups. Very versatile guitar. NOT just for country/roots. Even sounds decent when it’s not plugged in.

Ease of Use:
It’s a Gretsch man, if you know how to play this is the one for you.

Overall:
Very terrific guitar!!
