I love this guitar! Just got it out of storage for a video I want to do.
It's a limited edition Gretsch Electromatic G5232 in Daphne Blue. Pickups were upgraded to DiMarzio Super Distor'Tron and PAF'TRON pickups.
Cool story about this guitar. I got it from Anderton's as part of a FSR run made specifically for them. There were four guitars in the range, all of them variations on this theme. Two Daphne blue versions, a single cut and double cut with gold hardware like you see here. Then two others in shell pink - a single cut and double cut each with chrome hardware. From what I've been lead to believe there were only 50 of each guitar in the range made.
I ordered this guitar in Feb 2022 when storm Eunice was hitting the South of England really hard. After a week of waiting a guitar arrived. A beautiful shell pink Squire Bass 6. Which was amazing, but not the guitar I ordered. Despite the slight shipping mix up due to the storm, Anderton's service was absolutely fantastic and resolved the situation very quickly and my Gretsch arrived a few days later - just as storm Eunice was pummeling my neck of the woods. Nothing bad to say about Andertons at all, they were great! This guitar plays and sounds like a dream! And once the DiMarzios went in, it is now an absolute fire breather. A heavy metal Gretsch styled like a glamorous rockabilly classic.
I occasionally name guitars in my collection if there's something cool or distinctive about it. This guitar remained nameless for a long time until I got it out of storage the other day and was reminded of the heavy storm and the slight shipping mix up while this guitar was on it's way to me. I have now named the guitar Eunice after the storm. Suits it quite well methinks.
