In the ’50s, Gretsch was desperate to make waves with its solidbody guitars – and none was fancier than the 6130 Round-Up. Read all about it, as well as interviews with Robert Randolph, Rik Emmett, Ike Willis, Wolf Hoffmann, and others. We also take a look at the D’Aquisto made famous by Mel Bay, then study the ’70s Univox UHS-1 Lucy, and Park 45 amp. All this, along with our “VG Approved Gear” reviews, “Hit List” music reviews, new gear from NAMM show, and much more!
