(the gretsch is the one I like the most looks wise)
Hey: just thought I would add my 2 cents. Been playing a couple of years and I have two inexpensive short scales: Squire Jaguar and the Gretsch Jr Jet II.
I love both of them- they are both great deals for the money. I originally bought the Jag, and then about a year later, I wanted something that looked and sounded completely different. I have not done anything to the Gretsch except added new strings (D’Addario Rounds). I normally use it for songs where I want to use a pick, and I need a “brighter” sound. The humbucker pickups are really sweet, and the whole guitar feels solid like an instrument that should have a higher price tag. (but you could put flats on it and I’m sure it would shine in that setup as well.)
I had the pickups on the Jag replaced with EMG Geezers for more growl, and changed the strings to D’Addario Flats- and it is perfect when for songs I want to try and pluck rather than use a pick. (like for reggae, or things with slower tempos) I think the Jag was $200 and the Jr Jet was $300. (so both look and sound great and really provide a good bang for you buck in my opinion.
