A Little Fall Out

No, not radioactivity.  Not hair (gasp!)  No, this is good Fall Out from our friends at Gretsch.

There's a pretty white guitar on the scene, a new-comer to the Signature Series.  It's a Stump-o-matic!  Its full moniker is the G5135CVT - PS Patrick Stump Signature Series "STUMP-O-MATIC" Electromatic® CVT.



For the MSRP of a cool grand, you can appropriate this icy axe.  Gretsch's workmanship is great, especially on their Signature Series models.  Honestly, the $1,000 MSRP is reasonable for this instrument.  I found an online vendor offering a street price that is less, and quite enticing, if you're in the market for a guitar with the Stump-O-Matic's specs.

She's mahogany, 21 frets, the neck is maple with a rosewood fingerboard. (I know the more correct word is fretboard, but in my first instructors called it a fingerboard, so in my vocabulary, that's what it is) It has 3 Mega'Tron pickups, vintage tuning pegs and an anchored Adjusto-Matic bridge. The hardware is chrome plated, which I think looks great on a white guitar with a few silver accent stripes.  For more details than this, check out the link above.

This interesting guitar was built to the specifications of the well-known Fall Out Boy singer/guitarist.
