In my experience the cheapest of Gretsch are Amazon $99 dollar guitar level hot garbage. I had a center block Electromatic in tasty Gretsch orange that was of decent quality. Even there you're swapping out humbuckers for authentic pickups if you want the sound to go with the look. A person would be a little over $1000 all in for a new one with upgraded pickups but definitely worth it.
