Hi Mock G.. a warm welcome to this Rory G forum
Congratulations on your purchase of a vintage Gretsch Corvette guitar. I'm envious. I always look on ebay to see if I could pick up a cheap 60's Gretsch Corvette. Loved Rory's sound and slide playing when he used the GC for Bullfrog Blues. I did buy the modern version of this guitar the Gretsch G5135 CVT Electromatic Corvette about 10 years ago. then sold it a couple of years later. Not being a proper guitarist myself I wouldn't know the technical comparison? My friend though whom is a pro artist Riki Massini said that he enjoyed playing this modern version live on stage once. Yet I'm sure your vintage USA version with the Kent Armstrong P90 pickups, must sound much more authentic and nearer to Rory's vibe, for sure.
