...is my crush. Has anybody played one? From the reviews I've read it seems like a very lovely creature indeed.

Haven't myself but there's a guy over on Harmony-Central that loves his-- and he also owns one or two original 60's Corvettes.

I haven't played the Electromatic series but I like the old Corvette. It's just a good and simple guitar.

I've found not one single video or clip of this reissue, and only one vid on YouTube of the 1964 version (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOa_c-YZDdo). And of course it's not at any of my local stores. I may just order one from MF and send it back if I don't like it. It's got everything I've been wanting in my next guitar: two buckers with independent volumes, a short scale, and a vibrato. And it oozes coolness, and it doesn't scream I CAN'T AFFORD A GIBSON. What's not to like?
