Nice clips of the Electromatics. I prefer the 2k's, but the Gretschbuckers sure do sound great still. A bit fuller IMO. I'd be happy with either.

BING. There was no right answer, just first answers.
And I agree with Gretschmaster. But once an experimental feature appears, it becomes a fixed historical point, and must be honored.
A beautiful (and bigger-than-you-think) 125th Anniversary banner goes to Gretschmaster!

I always thought the mutes on my '68 Nashville made it sound like a banjo.

P.S. Is this the longest thread ever?

I like the sound of the 5120 best but the 5129 sounds great also. Nothing sounds like the 125th Annie though!

EDIT: I thought it was introduced in late 1961. BTW Good job on the Electro's Proteus. Were you playing them?

Introduced in 1962 to help reduce unwanted feedback while playing at louder volumes, the Electrotone hollow body is typically 2" in depth, and has simulated F-holes.

While I noted that she was wearing lots of black, I hadn't really noticed any red that Karissa was wearing.

Impromptu jam with our man Joe Carducci and amazing blues harper/vocalist Kellie Rucker. Unfortunately, I caught only the tail end. But you get the idea.

I was referring to the Electromatic hollow body. The forum is slow as hell at the moment. By the time the post is posted we're several posts further.
