The Great and Terrible Oz

I'm currently scoping out the Gretsch Electromatic hollowbodys and was wondering if any fellow Gretsch fans could tell me about the quality of these guitars. Like say for example, if you owned a Tennessee Rose and played an Eletromatic, how was it in comparison? Did it take a significant loss in tone? Was it a pretty solid guitar compared to the T.R.?

I'm currently looking for one to try out around my area but thought it'd be good to get feedback/opinions from other Gretsch enthusiasts. Thanks!

Hi every body!

I´m a (relatively new) guitar teacher in Barcelona, Spain and some students have been asking for melodies to learn. I´m kind of coming up empty and so I turn to all of you for some suggestions. Think popular songs like the Beatles, classic melodies, theme songs, that type of stuff. I know there´s a million but I´m really drawing a blank. For beginners to intermediate players.
Thanks!

Hey guys, since I'm getting married, and my interests are dwindling, I no longer need my live sound rig and most of my guitars. This is what's left of the collection that I'm not too interested in keeping:

Marshall JCM 2000 DSL 100 - $1000. Less than 10 hours total played on this guy. I got it for my birthday in 2007, then because of school I moved in with my mom. Well, my grandpa lives with us too and every time I turn it up past 1, he comes out and complains. 100 watt Tube amps don't sound great at 1.

Avatar Cabinet (2 Celestion Vintage 30s, 2 Celestion G12H30s) - $300. This still has the tags on it. Probably less than 2 hours of use. Same problem with the amp.. I bought this right after I moved home, and haven't been able to crank anything out of it. PRISTINE condition. I would prefer local pickup on this, because it'd probably be quite a bit to ship.

Epiphone Explorer with Kerry King signature EMGs (81 + 85 with a 20db Gain Boost switch) - $500. Guitar has a few cosmetic blemishes that aren't noticeable. If you're interested in the guitar I'll send pics.

Line 6 DL-4 Digital Delay Stompbox INCLUDES power supply - $180. These things are going for $250 on ebay. Great pedals, if you've seen a board, chances are this was on it.

E-mail me @ iamakidder@gmail.com if you're interested in any of this stuff. I'll go halvsies on shipping for stuff, and if you're located in northern Ca, I would be happy to meet you at a halfway destination to drop stuff off. Prices may be negotiable to a certain extent, let me know.

Edit: if you buy two or more things, I'll give you an nice discount. B)

My boyfriend's birthday is October 28 and he's been wanting an acoustic guitar for a long time. I'm no musician, however, so I have no idea what kind to get him.
So my questions are: What brand do you think I should go for? I don't want to ask him because I'm afraid that would be too much of a hint. I do believe he has a Schecter electric guitar but I don't even know if they make acoustics. Also, how much can I expect to spend for a decent-quality guitar? I looked at Guitar Center online and found prices range from $69.99 all the way up to &2200+, so any help is appreciated.
