I bought the guitar on which I find it terribly worthy! The action is Medium, and it's really not capable of going much lower?the floating roller bridge definitely has its limitations. On the other hand, in combination with the trapeze tail piece, it's very comfortable to play and stays in tune much better than I expected. Intonating it was no problem, just get a tuner and get ready to nudge the bridge with your thumbs until it's dead on?and it will stay there as long as you don't screw with it! The paint job is very good, the neck is very comfortable too (on the meaty side, Gibson-like). The nickel plating to the pickups and the volume controls has oxidized quite a bit, every one I've seen from 1993 looks like this though to one degree or another. Gretsch like this sound great with flatwound strings for jazz styles. Sounds great through fender deluxe, roland BC30, fender accoustasonic. Sound is rich and full, or bright and twangyas you'd expect. Lots of vitage type tones are availlable, also has the usual gretsch tone damper switches giving a muffled tone for comping. Any way, it’s far beyond my expectation to get such a beauty
