Anyone with opinions on this model? I'm curious if it'd be too big for a small woman to use...but it looks nice.

I would say that it's a question of just trying it out. You're right. It's a beautiful guitar! Gretsch's are notoriously big and heavy guitars but I would never hint that it would be too much for anyone to play.

I've been eye-balling a Gretsch for some time now and when I go for the next one it'll either be a Gretsch or a Strat.

Good eye!

Whenever I see a Gretsch in a picture (or most guitars,) they seem big to me. Then when I seen some Gretch's at Same Ash, I was suprised how "normal" they looked. I've never played one, but I always reccommend to just go to the sore and try it. Personally, I would only buy a guitar in a store anyway because you most likely will get it that day, and you don't have to worry about fedex/ups miss-handleing it.

It's been a while, but as I recall, the neck is just a bit wider than the hollow-body Gibsons, leaving a bit more room for playing interesting chords. You will definitely need to try this beauty on for size. Gretsch build quality is consistently high, but only you can tell if it's going to be a good fit for you.
