The 50th anniversary of a classic Gretsch design
The G5135 CVT Masterbuilt is the perfect tribute to five decades of amazing solidbody Gretsch guitars. First introduced in 1961, the CVT "Corvette" was Gretsch's first true solidbody guitar. Its ultra-slim and smoothly contoured body quickly made it a favorite for many professional players. Like the classic Corvettes, the G5135 CVT Masterbuilt brings timeless Gretsch tone and feel to a responsive solidbody platform. From its genuine bone nut to its classic Bigsby B5 your going to love the look, feel, and sound of this legendary Gretsch guitar.

TV Jones Power'Tron pickups pack sparkle and twang
If you like the traditional spank and twang of a single coil but prefer a bit more girth and a bit less noise, then the set of TV Jones Power'Tron pickups in the G5135 CVT Masterbuilt are perfect for you. Rich lows, pronounced mids, and the perfect touch of sparkle define the sound of the G5135 CVT Masterbuilt. If you love the sound of classic '50s PAFs, but long for a bit more expression, then you're going to feel right at home with the G5135 CVT Masterbuilt guitar.

I was very pleased with the shipping speed and the way the stand was packed. I was especially surprised to see candy thrown in the box as well, thank you. It was very relevant to your name "sweet" water. Your "Thank You" inserts provided an insight into your service to your customers - and it really shows how you really appreciate your customers. Your customer service is excellent and I would not hesitate to buy from you again ... in fact, you will be the first company that will come to mind for my next purchase because I know what I will expect. Excellent Customer Service!
