LA/Pasadena area Gretsch Corvette $260

Just saw this on CL. Somebody should snag it. Heck of a deal. No affiliation.

I have one of those in a natural finish. I'll never sell it. It's a flat-out great guitar, and that is an awesome price.

The natural finish looks great. Is that a Korean or Chinese model?

All the reissues are MIC, but the quality is amazing. I love it. Really spanky sparkly pickups.

I was under the impression the earliest Corvette reissues (prior to 2006 or so) were made in Korea, just based on some eBay listings that have noted the difference. I think I can recall seeing headstock pix that said Korea, but I wouldn't swear on it.

Hmmm, well I could certainly be wrong. I thought that all the 'vette reissues were MIC, but maybe the earlier ones were Korea.

Regardless, great guitar.
