Members richard_def Posted January 20, 2010 Members Share Posted January 20, 2010 haha, i wonder that too. i think daisy rock should issue something in the same vein. i would wear that badge proudly, and play that guitar to pieces. i also remember seeing a big cushion ring on the back, either to prevent scratches or make it more comfortable on your stomach.

Members costch Posted January 20, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 20, 2010 I think Gretsch should have a more varied selection of Corvettes, both "Electromatic" and "Professional". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MoreBeer Posted January 20, 2010 Members Share Posted January 20, 2010 I have a BST 1500 or The Beast and the goddamn zero fret is messed up on it. I would really like to get it fixed but being a broke college student it isn't possible. I almost traded this guitar this weekend at Guitar Center. Being that this was the last American made Gretsch model, am I crazy for almost getting rid of this guitar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at the moment. I'll upload one tomorrow. I was really down on my guitar collection this weekend. I've never purchased a brand new guitar. Everything I've ever bought has been used and has had problems. I almost went and traded about five guitars in for something new and American made with a lifetime warranty that I could gig with and not be scared that something would happen with it. To be honest I'm really glad I decided against that. I almost traded my Les Paul Custom along with that Gretsch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PatrickF Posted January 20, 2010 Members Share Posted January 20, 2010 My brother recently let me borrow one of these: and it's great. Stock pickups sound pretty good for what I play. It can handle a decent amount of gain. It has a nice fat neck. It's gonna be my #1 until I have to give it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Lou Speed Posted January 20, 2010 Members Share Posted January 20, 2010 i remember seeing the princess corvette in a guitar book and thinking how awesome it looked. but i can imagine since it was a "made for girls" guitar that the neck shape could be a little off for my big ol man hands It wasn't made for girls. It was "designed for the feminine guitarist". I still want that yellow one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members seifukusha Posted January 20, 2010 Members Share Posted January 20, 2010 Take a look at this:http://detroit.craigslist.org/okl/msg/1528468136.htmlModified as it may be, I think that it would make a worthy instrument. id hit that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still want that yellow one. heheh what the hell is the feminine guitarist? or is it... gretsch guitars: secret gay rights agenda? man i love ads for gear that were made back in the day. i saw an old ad for a vox wah-wah, and one of the pitches was "even makes sitar-like sounds!"

Members bluehuricane Posted January 20, 2010 Members Share Posted January 20, 2010 i would love a white, single pu corvette with a gold guard. would totally kill my sg jr. gas and give me an oddball guitar as well. gretsch needs to get their {censored} together and make one. same aesthetics as the princess minus the feminine guitarist bs. that could easily be a man's man's guitar.

Members The Great Waldo Pepper Posted January 20, 2010 Members Share Posted January 20, 2010 15 years ago I had a Gretsch AstroJet. It had a GREAT sound, interesting midrange character. Problem is it weight 12-14 lbs!!! I have a '63 Gretsch Corvette that I restored. I need to shoot completed pics! I really like this guitar!
