These are great guitars for the money due to the Dyna-sonic pickups. I have a discontinued 5217 (baby Blue) the build is great, with good semi acoustic sounds but the pickups are great for that great Gretsch twang! Rockabilly heaven. Later models came with mini humbuckers and are not quite the same. I bought mine second hand and when I changed the strings the nut came off, which does show where cuts in build quality are. It came with a replacement bridge to help with tuning stability to help with the Bigsby. Great if you can hunt one of these babies down!
