She is sooo awesome!!!
She's definitely my new favourite guitar players.

Hey BP! Would you happen to know the deal on her new guitar?
The neck is obviously a BFR, but I can't tell it it's simply a roasted neck on a regular Silo.

That was awesome! Great tune with a lot of Morse inspiration there, but very much her own. She also got a great tone especially that fat rhythm tone on the single coil. Can't go wrong with an EBMM and an Engl! I am gonna miss my silo special! That is Stu Hamm on bass...very cool.

It's funny ... the Silo is a small guitar but on Gretschen the Silo looks huge ! It's the same when my daughter plays on my SUB (but my daughter is just 12 years old ... and I fear that she will become quite tall).

Great playing, great tone. Like Travis Larson, Gretchen is an amazing guitar player I discovered here on this forum that has become one of my favorites.

If I recall, she uses a Fast Track 2 in the bridge in her blue Silo. Does anyone know what the bridge pickup is on the white BFR Silo Special? It's not a blade type design. I am assuming it's the stock Silo Special single coil. It sounds fantastic!

Very cool indeed. Nice curves on the Silo, roasted to boot. (deleted cheesy innuendo BP)

Ditto what agt said. Glad to discover her here. She's another great artist to introduce my daughters to, as well.

Cheers,
Marc

Gretchen is a wonderful artist, musician and human. I spoke to her today and she sent me these pics of that guitar to share. Bryan Perido is the photographer for the first 3 and the last is from Gretchen's iPhone. Please support her music and if you get a chance checkout an interview I did with her in January.
