New take on classic construction

Harkening back to the squarer, tulip-style double-cut shape of vintage Gretsch Corvettes of the 1960s, this Electromatic CVT’s silhouette comes full of righteous retro charm. And unlike Gretsch’s traditional chambered solidbody and set neck design, as seen on their Jet models, the Electromatic CVT brings 100% solid mahogany substance and bolt-on durability to the table for a commanding feel that’s seldom been harnessed beneath the T-top moniker. You can also expect a supreme playing feel, thanks to a universally fast and comfortable Performance C neck shape and a slightly more manageable 24.6-inch scale length. Cutaway and waist contouring ergonomically shape the Electromatic CVT for flush and non-intrusive freedom, wherever and however you like to play.

Flavor-packed Twin Six humbuckers

Since the dawn of the dual-coil design, Gretsch humbuckers have served players with hum-free performance that’s jam-packed with character. The Electromatic CVT keeps these traditions alive with an outfit of Twin Six humbuckers in the neck and bridge positions. These dynamically sensitive and full-size dual-coils fuel warm and fluid cleans inspired by Gretsch’s retro Broad’Trons. However, push these humbuckers with drive or gain, and the Twin Sixes reveal a soulful growl and gritty sustain that come alive with remarkable spirit. Backed with a 3-way toggle and master Volume and Tone controls, the Electromatic CVT’s sonic shaping capabilities are as effortless as they come.

Dependably appointed and superbly styled

The wraparound and adjustable bridge of the Electromatic CVT pairs nicely with a set of sealed die-cast tuning machines up top to satisfy the playing styles of gentle pickers and high-intensity performers alike. Stylistic updates also spearhead the Electromatic CVT’s visual appeal, not the least of which are Gretsch’s iconic pearloid Neo-Classical thumbnail inlays and a redesigned Falcon-style headstock and 3-ply tortoiseshell pickguard. Rounded out with handsome nickel hardware finishing and Aged White binding across the fingerboard and headstock, the budget-friendly Electromatic CVT won’t let you forget that it’s still laden with that iconic Gretsch swagger!
