Jim Heath?

BRIAN IS THE KING!!!!!!

Very nice to see still how enthusiastic you are and how you love your job!! I am also sure you and Brian are very close friends, the one who's doing this work basically a right hand of the player. A very lucky man. 🙂👌🏻👍🏻 If I may say stg personal. I had a luck to know and met a few times with Carl Nielsen. He was Jimmy Page's guitar engineer and a close friend. I bought a Firebird (only a Tokai but she became my most beloved, most important guitar, these days she worth a pretty nice sum of money, similar to a basic Gibson.) from his shop the Rockbottom Croydon. He was working with Jimi, Marc Bolan, Bonnie Raitt, Lenny Kravitz, Brian Adams, the Status Quo and many huge names, so he is a Giant and a stadium size concert guitarist on his own right. He has the most valuabe amp-collection, hundreds of historical ones, Jimi-Marshalls, Pink Floyd's Hiwatts, Sabbath Laneys and many-many more. The point is: he has immense knowledge and overall view of everything's in this business, yet he is so humble, so nice with a level of humanity that made me respect him immensly, a godlike human being in my eyes. Also, I was broke so I paid the guitar in parts weekly, 100£ or sometimes even only just 50. Yet he let away from the price some two hundred £, also one or two week later then the actual time counted into the deal the black Friday discount! He gave me a bass guitar case (-the Firebird-size is big really) and two handful of picks for free, let me make photos with him, and every each times when I brought the weekly parts of the payment let me play on the guitar an hour before closing.Showed me many of his old photos from the big times, told me stories and everything... Somehow he knew what I am in, currently a totally broke but real, lifetime player and he came down to my poor level as some kind of a mentor. I never felt the misery that I went through that time, I was a truly happy man in his and the staff's company in the shop. These things can make a man himself again, giving back his dignity and self-respect. So Thank you guys for the incredible job you do and please forgive me this 'War and peace-long' elegy. 🙂😊. 💜👌🏻👍🏻

Brian has been my absolute hero since the very early 80s. I love that he and the Cats are still rockin'!!

So as expected Brian's rig hasn't changed for over 30 years. No need. It's perfect for his great act :)

That 6120 and 59 Bassman head …. So good

Ah...see I didn't know this was a commercial....I still think gretch guitars are shit...but what do I know?

I met Tyler at a Brian Setzer Christmas show in Jacksonville Fl. I recognized him and said hello. He couldn’t have been a cooler cat. He gave me 2 of Brian’s picks. Keep helping it swing Tyler…

Continue the vintage!! Love it, man!!

I was at that show. They were awesome!

Fastest rig rundown ever 😂 6120>Roland Space Echo> Fender Bassman DONE! “What’s that? You want a rundown on Brian’s gear….sure I got a spare 30 seconds”

Brian Setzer is one of my guitar heroes and the reason I want a Gretsch! It's cool ge can relate with Eddie Cochran (who I also love!)

My late grandfather had a Blackhawk and I LOVED playing it. One of these days I'll find one for myself.

Great video. If you notice Brian is now playing with his cab facing away from him. Pretty sure this is due to his tinnitus. He played with it facing towards the crowd on his last solo tour which I got to see here in Feb. of 2024. I got to get really close to him, and he plays pretty loud. It was great to listen to. Even got to talk with Tyler after the show (PHX). We both hail from Massachusetts.

Have always been a Stray Cats and Brian Setzer fan since Built for Speed was released (still have my original album). I had the pleasure of meeting Brian after a show in Cleveland! He put on a great show and still does. Just wish my schedule worked with the timing of the recent tour. Fingers crossed for the next tour OR his show at Christmas. In the meantime, I’ll console myself with my Gretsch guitars 😍.

Duane Eddy, Eddie Cochran and Brian Setzer yeah!

Tyler, you got one of the best jobs on the planet. Fantastic stuff.😊 Best wishes from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿.

Brian is lucky to have you Tyler!! You hear that Brian :) :) This guys heart is gold.

I agree Brian the guitars and amps of today just don't have the tone it seemed the manufacturers back then had better quality control and CARED about the tone of their instrument today it's all about how fast it can be manufactured!

What speakers does he use in the amps? Brand and ohms? Anyone?

Love my players 6120

The Brian Setzer with a Fender amp that is the sound! I do with a budget guitar a G5421, but hey I am not Brian Setzer 😅

Incredible ❤

日本製でもグレッチって何か悲しい

I really like this video, I have an interesting question about which guitar strings can be used on this guitar?

I just went to the show in Moorhead, MN (Fargo, ND) last night. I noticed that he used his primary guitar the entire show. I didn't see one guitar swap, and he never stopped once to tune. I was thinking what a great testament to the quality of his guitar that was that he didn't need to constantly swap them out to get tuned like most rockers do. It sounded great the entire show.

Thank you Gretsch for your videos! This could be a series with other artists.

Heck of a musician!

Outstanding video

Love my extreme coolant green hot rod.

🎶🎸👍

🧡🧡🧡🔥🔥🔥🧡🧡🧡

0:25 is my favourite!

no mention of Al Casey......damn.....

What was the first song he was playing in the opening sequence?

I love playing that a cord through a marshall stack

Duane Eddy died 30 April 2024, sadly. A real nice player with those beautiful Gretchs. He did use other makes, but the Gretch has the sound.

I don’t know who this guy is but you should keep him away from your beautiful guitars. He’s made that thing sound like a 1960s catalogue guitar.

I just saw one in person today and it's probably the prettiest guitar I have ever seen. If I had an extra 4k, I would have left the store with it. Stunning in person.

It's a little tricky playing arch top hollow body guitars at elevated volumes. Feedback can be a problem. I have a poor man's Gretsch Nashville but I'd love to have a White Falcon. I've seen Richard play at a G n R show. We were right in front of the stage. Great show.

Anyone know if this has treble bleed and a no-load tone pot?

What is with RUclips with having to wait through 3 minutes of ads before watching any video?

What kind of G chord is he playing ?

how bout. top1

the gretsch is a big deal , too

Shave that stupid shit off your chin

The Gretsch still sounds like you're playing on an old school Tube Amp. It's like you went back in time and received the sound from time itself.
