Ever Dream About Gretsch?

Oct 30, 2008 9:15 a.m. Echosonic:

Last night I a had dream that I was playing, not really owning but playing, a Gretsch Double Annie reissue in Two Tone Green with FilterTrons and was loving that guitar and considered buying one or buying the 125th edition of it. I'm not a humbucker guy, love single coils like DeArmonds but I was loving it and was thinking in the dream I have to have this it sounds great. I do have a '64 Country Club with Filters, not complaining, sounds nice but I prefer signle coils anyday but regardless I am not giving it up, it's too cool to have vintage Gretsch.

But the dream was amazing because I was thinking I never heard anything so good. Maybe in my dream I played much better than I do in reality!

Have you dreamt of Gretsch?

Wait hold on a second, I thought about it, the Annie had HiloTrons in it, not FilterTrons. No wonder I was loving it. But FilterTrons aren't bad but I prefer single coils. I recall in the dream now I was thinking I'd get a 125th edition of the guitar and have HiloTrons installed.

I've had quite a few dreams of Gretsch guitars, one where Joe and I were at a bar and I was laying out a model I had in my head and he seemed to be digging it. I remember feeling super excited when he was saying "yeah, that sounds awesome, I'll have the custom shop whip up a prototype for you."

But then I woke up.

I bet you'd prefer to be in a coma, well at least asleep long enough to see your prototype made and played.

Sometimes. Mostly when I'm at work. My prototypes are never anything so crazy I couldn't mod a normal guitar to get to, but some would be more pricey to mod than others. I've got a lot of ideas kicking around.

I played "Girlfriend In A Coma" by The Smiths on my guitar. Pappy, you oughtta do a Weird Al like version of the song and play "Pappy In A Coma". That might be good for a Sunday night before your Monday coma at work!

I did a Weird Al and wrote some lyrics to a song like that but I thought even tho in fun it might be taken the wrong way so I decided not to post it. It's about you wanting to veg out or coma out on a Monday and play your guitar.

This is sounding all too-familiar to me, Pappy. Was it a double cutaway? And orange?

Okay I'll post it then. This is about Pappy on Monday morning at work daydreaming in an almost coma state about the guitar he is designing as a prototype for Gretsch Guitars.

Begin -

Pappy in a coma, I know I know - its hilarious

Pappy in a coma, I know I know - its really hilarious

There were times when Pappy could have designed a guitar (but you know, I would love to see his creation of a Gretsch guitar

Now I want to hear that Gretsch Guitar

Do you really think he'll prototype the guitar ? Do you really think he'll prototype the guitar ? Do ...

Pappy in a coma, I know I know - its hilarious My, my, my, my, my, my Gretsch hello

There were times when Gretsch could have made that guitar (but you know, I would love to play that Gretsch guitar)

Would you please let me play that guitar!

Do you really think it will go through ? Do you really think it will go through ? Do ... Let me hear that last note of the guitar, I know it's hilarious.

I consistently - night after night - have the same recurring dream: I'm running naked being chased by a giant flesh colored snake... only to be saved at the last minute by the Gore Gore Girls, each wielding their Gretsch guitars. My doctor/shrink/spiritual guru (all the same guy) told me it is likely due to my eating spicy food just before bedtime.

Recently I keep seeing myself play a 6120 in my dreams. It was a Cochran model I believe. I know it had a Dyna in the bridge position. And I think I saw a P90 in the neck.

It was a black RHH with silver sparkle binding. I have a picture of it at home that someone was nice enough to photoshop for me way back when that I'll post. I call it the Outlaw in Black.

It's pretty awesome looking.

Proteus writes songs in his dreams. I don't seem to remember my dreams any more. I hate that.

Dog,

Sprinkle some saltpeter on your Green Eggs & Ham. If that doesn't tame the rascal, try duct-taping it to one of your thighs. Whatever you do, don't let him catch ya. Good luck!

No, I don't often dream about guitars; Gretsch or otherwise. Except maybe a few nightmares of being forever stuck with that miserable Gretsch Keith Scott git I once owned. Never did care for its thin electric banjo tone.

the only time i can remember dreaming about playing music recently i was going to have to sub for John Dawson at a New Riders of the Purple Sage show as part of some weird little festival, and i couldn't find my shoes just before i had to go on. i must have been playing an acoustic or i'd have gone up in a lovely violet "pooooooof!" fit for the climax of a Prince concert as soon as i touched the mic.

it's possible that i dream too much about guitars when i'm awake to have leftover guitar thoughts to leak into my dreams.

No dreams that I can recall at the moment, at least not here lately, and that surprises me; but I do have a problem with putting the guitar down at bed time, and sometimes waking before the alarm goes off and getting the fiddle out for some quiet earphone plinking.

Our youngest Grand daughter did ask me not long ago if my Guitar was my best friend, to which, of course; I had to answer that her G'ma(we've been married for 41 years)was my "real" best friend.

....but I don't know if she bought it, even though I was quite insistent.

I often dream about playing on stage, but they are nightmares - I forget my words, I play the wrong chords, the number is miles too fast, not enough volume, the drummer continually loses his timing - then I realise its not a dream...

I dreamt that I finally had the Knotty Pine Roundup and played it perfectly to thunderous applause. When I got back from the gig, I placed it on a stand...right next to a Knotty Pine 6120 DSW...Joe C...any chance?

F107, Maybe if you stopped bringing the guitar to bed, and let G'ma sleep in the bedroom?

I had a Gretsch dream last night....probably prompted by reading this thread the other day. All I can remember is I was jamming with someone over a basic chord progression, like C F G etc, but I was not TRYING to play, but in the zone and just letting the music flow. In reality that happens once every lifetime
