It arrived. Holy shit, it's nice. Finish is really good - the neck is matte and has a tiny bit of a rough feel to it, not quite as smooth as the American strat I have, but that's the only possible thing I could criticize. The body is tapered across the whole thing, not a slab like traditional tele, but no belly cut like a strat. Frets are perfect.
Never had locking tuners before. I guess they'll make string changes easier. It also has a fancy Babicz bridge.
And it sounds fantastic. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...399c541261.jpg

Damn. That’s a real good looking guitar.

OK, I'm done now. Been kinda looking for a Gretsch with two P90s for awhile, and this Electromatic came up on an Adorama sale for $259 (!). Couldn't pass that up. Arrived today, fiddled with the neck pickup height a bit, it was set up and intonated pretty well out of the box.
The blue one ("mako" color) is the new Electromatic.
I'm selling the wood one ("single barrel stain" color) - - it's a Gretsch Streamliner Junior Jet, with a P90 neck and Broadtron BT-2S humbucker bridge. That bridge pickup is telecaster-ish, with kind of a metallic twang, not at all typical humbucker. I like it, it's actually a really nice guitar. But I wanted two P90s, and now have a tele for tele sounds. Anyone interested?https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...786bc72fb0.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...79ab4bc947.jpg
