Gretssch Electromatic Hollow 12-string, sunburst, made in Korea. We get a few folks asking for electric twelve strings in the shop, they're certainly a cool genre. This one is a cool take: fully hollow, double cut shape, FilterTrons... yep, that'll work. The neck treads a good balance: wide enough to have sensible string spacing, slim enough to play without being a tree trunk. The tone is jangly and expansive, with plenty of zing and a warm midrange. These don't come up used very often, so if you're suitably curious, it's suitably ready to come live with you.
