| The Gretsch G5122 has the playability, the looks, and the sounds to set it apart from the crowd.
In the last few years, Gretsch has started supplying Korean-import instruments of exceedingly high quality, including the celebrated Gretsch G5122. This guitar offers a lot of “twang” for the buck. So, if you’re fascinated in a guitar with a little dissimilar feel than, say, a Gibson Les Paul or Fender Stratocaster, you will have to in all probability give the G5122 a look. What does it have to offer? Features Performance The clean tones were big, clear, and powerful. When we cranked the amps a bit, it had just sufficient grit to cut through a mix. This is unquestionably no shredder axe, so don’t buy it if you’re in a Dragonforce tribute band. But if you’re into classic rock, blues, jazz, or country, you could unquestionably find a use for the G5122.
Few guitars are perfect, however, so we did have numerous niggles here and there. The tuners, altho keeping the tuning well, still felt cheap and could stand to be upgraded. The drifting bridge felt a bit odd, but it didn’t affect the intonation. We were very pleased with the overall fit and finish. The guitar has a distinctive Walnut Stain finish that likewise contributes to the classy, vintage feel. Honestly, it make the guitar look a lot more costly that it in truth is. We were likewise happy with the action. We had no issues with either lead or rhythm work. We only had to make a good deal of minor adjustments to the bridge and truss rod to get things working the way we wanted. The Bottom Line Name of Gear: Gretsch G5122

One of the best LED music lights
By P. Schmidt
I have gone through a long series of music stand lights over the last 30 years or so, always attempting to find a ‘better mousetrap’. I desired a small, lightweight illuminating device that could run without necessitating to be plugged in and would still take up a minimum of space in my instrument case(s).My latest is the new XtraFlex Duet lamp from Mighty Bright, a company with lots of dissimilar models. The Duet is the dual lamp version of the regular XtraFlex lamp, being identical except for the extra light emitting head.The base unit is just huge sufficient to hold the battery comprised of three AAA alkaline cells, plus the spring clip mechanism that grabs onto your music stand, music folder, or book. Extending from the top are two narrow goosenecks that terminate in penny-sized LED heads, one super-bright white LED per head. Each head likewise has an on/off switch and a lens that distributes the LED light over a wide area of with regards to the size of a normal page of music. The goosenecks are flexible sufficient to concede them to be without apparent effort wrapped around the base unit for storage, yet firm sufficient to support the weight of the LED heads in whatsoever position you place them.Having a distinguished power switch for each head is a nice touch, because if you only need light from one head you may turn the other one off to save battery life. However, I suspect that Mighty Bright just put two gooseneck/head assemblies on a single base unit and shrugged their collective shoulders when they ran into this meant having two power switches. Hard to be sure, but it’s the results that count in this case.Battery life is good, since by my calculations and experiences with other AAA powered LED lamps, you ought to be capable to get rather a few hours out of a battery set.Brightness is not overwhelming, but is surely adequate to make pages of music without apparent effort legible in even the darkest orchestra pits.I find that this lamp does a better occupation of lighting a pair of side-by-side pages than my former Mighty Bright lamp, the Mighty Bright Triple LED Music Stand Light, which was larger, heavier, could not reach over tall music as well, and was in general less flexible in dissimilar situations.I would rate this lamp 5 stars, except for the more or less lower than desired build quality—professionals would like to see a device that is just a bit less typical-Chinese-plastic……for example, a pro who uses a lamp frequently, or a church that uses them twice a week for hand bell choir rehearsals and services (for example), might suppose to change batteries oftentimes sufficient that they would be grateful for beefed up version.Still, a very nice lamp reasonably priced at regarding $20.12 of 12 humans found the following review helpful.
Great little light!
By Matthew Chafin
This light’s is outstanding so far. I applied it for the primary time on a gig two nights in a row, 4 hours each and the batteries are still going strong. Light out put is great; we used it to illumine part of our little stage to aid tear down when it was dark.9 of 9 humans found the following review helpful.
Not as bright as the Super GigLight
By J. Chang
I purchased both the Mighty Bright XtraFlex Duet Super LED light as well as the SUper GigLight. The Mighty Bright Duet is rather dim by comparing to the Super Giglight. However it is with regards to 60% cheaper. I have just noticed that Mighty Bright has a new Duet light out with 4 rather of 2 LEDs. Perhaps I ought to return the one I have and order the new model instead.See all 70 client reviews…
