Gretsch moved its entire production to Japan years ago, even the expensive ones. Now they've started in China. Been reading Gretsch owners' message boards etc and it's supposed to be pretty good.

Very very tempted. That with some TV Jones PU's.. <wanks furiously..>
I can get all Thomann stuff 22% cheaper too cos I order through my company, so no tax on an import from Germany.
