This vintage Gretsch Corvette was purchased by me at Guitar Center on Sunset Blvd. in L.A. in 2010. I immediately had a re-fret done by Randy Parsons (the guy from the movie "It Might Get Loud") and it was recently set-up at Emerald City Guitars here in Seattle (Randy moved to LA to become a star :-(.
It's in relatively good shape, for a 60's guitar with some scratches and dings, but no really aggressive checking that makes it ugly. It sounds fantastic, especially for surf/garage/r&b/ and the like. One fun fact about it is that Jimi Hendrix played an earlier model on his recording session with Curtis Knight on the "Get That Feeling" record. I'm only selling it because I'm selling off most of my gear as I'm looking for a new sound; as they say, "Show me the most beautiful woman in the world and I'll find you a man who's tired of ...her".
