![]() I want something that can do ballsy, grungey rock (pushing it for a hollowbody perhaps, but think John Frusciante), reverb-drenched 'indie' sounds, and still has enough flexibility for it to both influence and be influenced by my unique 'style'. But not only does the updated Electromatic have the White Falcon look, it also seems to be a 'better' guitar than the 5120/2. The appeal of the Swingster was the tonal range: the series/parallel switching that I'd read about. Which perhaps makes moving on to an hollowbody strange, but I'm at something of a musical crossroads. ![]() ![]() Both guitars are new introductions: the Swingster about a year ago, and the 5422 a few months, if I am correct? I usually buy my guitars on the second hand market, in the past favouring cheap, 90s, 'lo-fi' friendly gutiars with wide tonal possibilites. After coming to the conclusion to buy the Swingster over a Gretsch 5120 or 5122, I found out about the 5422. I know I'm posting in a fairly obviously partisan site, but who better to ask than those who know the electromatics best?īasically, I am stuck between the Epiphone Swingster Royale and the Gretsch G5422TDCG.īoth are white falcon-esque guitars in aesthetics, and that's something that, I'm afraid, I'm a sucker for: I am shallow.
