October Sweetwater Giveaway: Gretsch Corvette

[Neal Walter]

Gretsch Electromatic Corvette


This is a hot rod of a guitar by a classic guitar company, Gretsch. Their guitars have always had a unique look, feel, and sound to them that make them stand out from other guitar companies and this little Corvette is no exception. I found it compact, lightweight, and easy to play. Plus, it comes in my favorite color, Burgundy.

This little rocker has a mahogany neck and body with a 22 fret rosewood fingerboard. All chrome hardware and a double cutaway body style that makes for easy access to the high notes. Two Mega'Tron humbucker pickups, an anchored Adjusto-Matic bridge, Bigsby tremolo, two volume knobs, one tone knob, a 3 way switch, and vintage style tuners.

The pickup switch is kind of in the way of the tremolo arm but is consistent with the Corvette's original '60s design. The Corvette was originally designed as Gretsch's answer to the Gibson Les Paul Jr. and it has a body style that is similar to the Jr., SG, and Melody Maker guitars.

Gretsch guitars have been used by a lot of great players like Billy Gibbons, Bo Diddley & Brian Setzer to name a few. And if you're a Fall Out Boy fan, this solid body Corvette is very similar to the model that Patrick Stump used to record the band's latest album.

I love the classic chrome hardware. The Bigsby stayed in tune ok and works better as an accent tool then for a dive-bomb effect (as most Bigsby's do). It's got a bright, clear. and chimey tone.

Jimi Hendrix liked the sound enough to use a '67 Corvette on his sessions with Curtis Knight. From Beatles to Beach Boys, Rockabilly to your latest pop rock radio hit, in the words of one Corvette owner "it's just a good, simple, fun guitar".

Special Message for Non-US Members

We deeply regret that we cannot ship contest prizes outside the U.S.

Customs, tariffs, and shipping prevent merchandise from being shipped reasonably between countries.

That is the reason why U.S. music stores cannot sell to musicians in other countries, even as close as Canada.

We originally intended this contest to be run by Ren in the U.K. but we found that just shipping him the gear was so problematic that it would cost more than the contest itself.

Please accept our apologies for making this a U.S. only contest.

Always wanted to drive a vette.

[Stevena]

I always wanted a Gretsch; matter of fact I always wanted a Corvette too. Not sure what effect(s) he was demo-ing through, but I would love to try it through my own rig, which ends with a Shiva.

[marciabourne]

I've never played a Gretsch. I'd love to take the Corvette for a drive!

THAT is a gorgeous guitar. I've always loved the look of Gretsch guitars and wondered why more people don't play them. I love the new Billy-Bo and have that on my dream list, but the Corvette has that classic Gretsch look that I dig.

Some things in life people want, others they NEED, and I need that guitar!!


This is a hot rod of a guitar by a classic guitar company, Gretsch. Their guitars have always had a unique look, feel, and sound to them that make them stand out from other guitar companies and this little Corvette is no exception. I found it compact, lightweight, and easy to play. Plus, it comes in my favorite color, Burgundy.

This little rocker has a mahogany neck and body with a 22 fret rosewood fingerboard. All chrome hardware and a double cutaway body style that makes for easy access to the high notes. Two Mega'Tron humbucker pickups, an anchored Adjusto-Matic bridge, Bigsby tremolo, two volume knobs, one tone knob, a 3 way switch, and vintage style tuners.

The pickup switch is kind of in the way of the tremolo arm but is consistent with the Corvette's original '60s design. The Corvette was originally designed as Gretsch's answer to the Gibson Les Paul Jr. and it has a body style that is similar to the Jr., SG, and Melody Maker guitars.

Gretsch guitars have been used by a lot of great players like Billy Gibbons, Bo Diddley & Brian Setzer to name a few. And if you're a Fall Out Boy fan, this solid body Corvette is very similar to the model that Patrick Stump used to record the band's latest album.

I love the classic chrome hardware. The Bigsby stayed in tune ok and works better as an accent tool then for a dive-bomb effect (as most Bigsby's do). It's got a bright, clear. and chimey tone.

Jimi Hendrix liked the sound enough to use a '67 Corvette on his sessions with Curtis Knight. From Beatles to Beach Boys, Rockabilly to your latest pop rock radio hit, in the words of one Corvette owner "it's just a good, simple, fun guitar".
