Gretsch Streamliner, Ocean Turquoise. A nice instrument which arrived on time carefully boxed and in good condition. It has a nice shallow U shaped neck which isn't too narrow making it nice to play with low action. The sound differs somewhat from an Electromatic model which I already have. It has a somewhat warmer, fuller tone than the Electromatic but a bit less Gretschy but still able to produce a bit of a twang on all strings.
On the down side, the instrument arrived badly set-up or not set-up with all strings rattling on the frets. In serious need of attention which I was able to correct by adjustment of the truss rod with the hexagon key supplied with the guitar and careful raising of the adjustable bridge. The volume controls increases slowly then suddenly. This the same on my Electromatic model. The dark blue translucent tone controls are a bit cheap looking.
But, having said all this, it is a nice instrument which I purchased at a competitive price and would recommend. It is really worth a 4.5 rating
