NAMM 2014: There are pretty guitars, and then there are Gretsch guitars.

George Harrison used them for a reason you know - they look and sound like nothing else. The Gretsch Custom Shop was out in force at NAMM, and we had a look round its stand to see what was rocking.

Needless to say, we were impressed...

Rob is the Reviews Editor for GuitarWorld.com and MusicRadar guitars, so spends most of his waking hours (and beyond) thinking about and trying the latest gear while making sure our reviews team is giving you thorough and honest tests of it. He's worked for guitar mags and sites as a writer and editor for nearly 20 years but still winces at the thought of restringing anything with a Floyd Rose.
