    Gretsch G5135GL G. Love Electromatic Corvette W/HSC
                                                 Hotrod looks in a Philly-Green finish with competition racing stripes                                           

Garrett "G. Love" Dutton has a
unique way of delivering an urban style groove. With his band, Special
Sauce, he combines funk, rap, blues and jazz in the coolest way.
Up for Auction/For Sale is this very cool hotrod looking Gretsch G5135GL Corvette in Philly-Green with White competition racing stripes. I've had this Gretsch for a few years now and it plays like butter and is very cool looking. It's just to cool for me so I'm passing it on. The Woodstock strap is extra at $15.00 with the bid but included free if you buy it now. This guitar has been set up and is in excellent condition and comes with a HSC. They go for $1,124.99 new and this is like new plus it comes with a case!
Here is a review I found on this Gretsch:The Gretsch G. Love Corvette was introduced in January 2000 in their series of Electromatic Collection Artist Signature guitars.  The playing feel is
pretty slick overall and the upper fret access is incredible thanks to
the long neck block, which puts the 21st fret right where the body
begins. This arrangement also places the neck pickup away from a
harmonic node, but that doesn’t diminish the cool tones this guitar
produces. Everything from twangy bridge pickup bite to burnished
neck-pickup textures to full, clear dual-pickup tones are available.
The dual Volumes give you full control of pickup balance (though I
wouldn’t cite them as the most linear sounding pots), and the master
Tone control does a good job of smoothly rolling off the highs without
killing the sonic vibe. The simple controls and absence of arcane
switches make it easy to get into the twangy coolness of a Gretsch
guitar without the fussing that some classic Gretsch models can
require. Bottom line, the streamlined G. Love Corevette is particularly
good choice for players who are at home with Fender and Gibson guitars,
and would like to try a Gretsch model that is just as easy to use.
Definitely a hip guitar!
