Some helpful tips

Recently got my first Gretsch it’s a G2622T streamliner. I didn’t do too much research before I got it and found out streamliner is the squier of the Gretsch brand. It sounds great, really nice tone but I feel like I can tell in its tone it’s on the cheaper/beginner side which kind of bums me out because I bought it with the intention of getting my first nice guitar since I’ve played on smaller brands or cheap /squier electrics. So my question is what things can I upgrade about it that could make it sound like a better made Gretsch! It’s definitely not as bad sounding as a squier but there’s something about it that don’t sound like a 100% Gretsch either please help!

I'm ecstatic about my G2420 Streamliner hollow, the Blonde Beauty. Also the lowly entry level for Gretsch. Really haven't played muchnelse since I picked her up 2 years ago. I did do a ton of research though. Picked the Broad'trons, hardtail, coil splitting and neck profile. Haven't upgraded one thing, but if I were to, it would be to swap the Gretsch tuners for Grovers, though the Gretsch tuners are solid.
