Jimmy C signs on to stripe 700 Gretsch Guitars!

Gretsch® and renowned Southern California hot rod
graphic artist JimmyC have joined forces to produce
a limited quantity of guitars. Using the popular
Electromatic® G5120 model as his canvas, JimmyC
created an original retro-style design combining
thin and broad-stroke pinstriping techniques. Each
guitar is personally pinstriped by JimmyC, one at a
time, in vibrant enamel colors on top of the original
guitar finish. “That’s how I pinstripe hot rod cars and
motorcycles,”JimmyC said. Since the detailed graphics
are literally applied by hand, designs may vary, creating
a truly custom collectable instrument that’s also walletfriendly.
