Ah man, what was it? Missed it.
I tried some lower end new gretsches a while back and wasn't thrilled with them.

yeah it's worth stopping by musician's friend once a day, their "stupid deal of the day" can be really good

This thing is so cool looking. It's actually a full hollow, but I just wanted to post it somewhere

I want it even though I have no idea what it plays/sounds like. It's art.

In seriousness, I tracked down some video demos, and I don't think it's exactly what I would look for soundwise. I wish there was an actual semihollow version of the same thing with higher output pickups.
I do also wonder if the positioning of the tremolo arm vs volume and tone knobs would be annoying, and I read that the pickguard is very fragile. Still though, man.
