Comments about Gretsch Guitars G400 Synchromatic Acoustic Guitar:
The G400 sounds best with heavy guage round wound strings (.13's) to compensate for the "thin" cutting sound inherent in archtops. Strung and set-up properly the Synchromatic really has that "jazzy" Freddie Greene sound that cuts through the din of a small acoustic jazz combo, but works equally well in blues and folk/country settings. It records very nicely (mic placement matters a lot). Many players will consider amplification options and there are many to choose from. Personally I went with the K & K Pure Archtop pick-up and a Fishman preamp box that seems to work fine. One does run into sound men who are unsure how to EQ an archtop, so used to the flat top guitar domination.
It's a large body archtop acoustic guitar, so "features" are few, really. You can read what they are somewhere else.
Why this guitar does not cost a lot is due to the use of laminated wood as opposed to solid one-piece masterpieces (and the fact that it was made over seas). I honestly do not know if it matters. Everything else on the guitar: tuning pegs, bridge, seem top-notch, not to mention gorgeous.
As others have stated, the G400 is the best archtop in its range. MUCH better than the G100, the Loar, or the Godin 5th Ave (all of which are fine low-level archtops -- the world needs low-level archtops and they fit the bill). This is a professional model, make no mistake, and I believe this guitar will eventually become considered a classic.
Comments about Gretsch Guitars G400 Synchromatic Acoustic Guitar:
This is a great archtop . It took me a while to appreciate how nice it plays and sounds. The look of this beauty was obvious from the start. It's a beautiful piece. It's hard to imagine they can use the top notch materials they do for this price. Anyway it's great to play and look at and seems very wel built. I have a 84 strat, and a 55 es-175. you'd think I'd have a easy time to know which of these I'd let go first. You'd be wrong, to me the Gretch is a keeper.
Comments about Gretsch Guitars G400 Synchromatic Acoustic Guitar:
There isn't a better archtop available in this price range. It may need 10 years or so to open up acoustically, but it looks amazing and holds up real well. I put a fishman archtop pickup system in it and the guitar sounds fantastic on stage, with no feedback. I'm a singer/songwriter, and this guitar is perfect for my solo shows.
Comments about Gretsch Guitars G400 Synchromatic Acoustic Guitar:
I've been playing a G400 for about 5 years now. In the past I've gone through a couple guitars a year, this one has stuck with me, and may never go away. Add a neck pickup and some flatwounds and it produces outstanding tone for Jazz,Blues, Western Swing, etc..
Comments about Gretsch Guitars G400 Synchromatic Acoustic Guitar:
I am a acoustic rhythm player in a band that goes from western swing, to gypsy jazz, to rockabilly to swing. All styles that call for a very agressive rhythm attack. This is the perfect guitar for it. sounds fantastic, plays like my white falcon only acoustic and looks better in person.goes from heavy strum to fingerstyle to blues effortlessits replaced my d28 as my stage and go to guitar.
