I've been eying up the Gretsch Gin Rickey for a month or two and a used one popped up at a local shop, so I scooped it up:

Here's a clip playing with some feedback:

Initial impressions:
1) It's so small and cute! That being said, the fretboard might be a little cramped for my hands, but I've mainly been playing in open tunings lately and it doesn't seem to be as big of a problem with open tunings
2) It plays very well out of the box, but it could probably use a proper setup and new strings
3) It sounds surprisingly good. I was surprised at how resonant it was and how much bass it actually had for a small body. The pickup seems to work well too; it definitely worked well with my pedalboard and amp.
Overall, it is definitely worth the $300 CDN I spent on it!
Now, the next question, should I string it for Nashville tuning?
