Under the spotlight is the Limited Edition John Gourley Electromatic Broadkaster Electric Guitar, a stunning tribute to the creative genius of Portugal. The Man's frontman, John Gourley. This guitar, steeped in classic Gretsch aesthetics, is a potent symbol of John's artistic prowess, designed with professional-grade specifications.
The heart of this guitar is its double cutaway arched maple body, housing a chambered spruce center block. This unique construction offers the dual advantage of lightweight comfort and superior feedback rejection. The spruce center block is instrumental in delivering an open, airy sound that doesn't compromise on clarity, snap, or attack, making it a perfect choice for musicians seeking a balance of comfort and performance.
The John Gourley Broadkaster is equipped with U.S.-made Full'Tron pickups, a creation of the renowned Tim Shaw. These pickups are designed to provide the classic Gretsch chime, balance, and brilliance, but with an added edge. They deliver a full-spectrum sonic range with a distinctive snarl and a slightly more pronounced mid concentration, adding extra tonal muscle to full-volume playing with overdrive and distortion.
Adding to the allure of this guitar is the exclusive artwork by acclaimed artist Cleon Peterson. The Iridescent Black metallic finish and silver sparkle binding are just the beginning. From the "cloud" fingerboard inlays to the bespoke truss rod cover and metal head badge, to the graphic on the pickguard, Peterson's artistic touches infuse this guitar with a unique aesthetic vibe that sets it apart from any other.
In summary, the Electromatic Series John Gourley Broadkaster Center Block Electric Guitar in Iridescent Black is more than just an instrument; it's a work of art that embodies the spirit of creativity and performance.
