Based on their ads, it appears the already have some models ready to be delivered.
Still the barrel burst, broadway jade and cadillac green are not my thing. :)

Years ago I looked into this and found that the pinstripe artist that was doing this was in Birmingham, Alabama. No way to know if the examples that Tallman is selling are from the same artist, but the style is dead on the same.

This was the artist:


Thanks, looks like the same artist. I just noticed the Reverb link I included shows his name. He used to not include it. Super helpful for anyone wanting to have guitar already owned pinstriped by him if they don’t mind mailing. I for one am not opposed to it as I like his work. I’ve looked locally on the past and didn’t find one. Although I haven’t been able to visit any car meets lately.

The LP Juniors w/ Bigsby look pretty cool. Sexy finishes.

Those Electromatic semi-(hollows) are too funky looking for a Gretsch, imo. They gave all the weird colors to the semis and let the P90 LPs have the cool colors. My opinion

Very sad, all these great colors and no double cut semi hollow Electromatics with P90s. The 2655s in the line are nice, but there are no upgrades short of pro models and only a handful of finish options. (And Greasy Grooves will have my business forever if Gretsch keeps thinking tortoise-shell is acceptable on anything.)

I’m still wondering if it’s a good idea to get a vintage white Jet, put Dynasonics in it, bar bridge with a thin base, change the b50 for a v b3, maybe have to add a tension bar…. As I wrote this I realised no, it’s not a good idea.

Unpopular opinion:

I strongly dislike all of these new Electromatics.
Strongly…maybe.

dislike…not that unpopular.

I’m waiting to see the reality of the Two-90 models sans Bigsby before I pass final judgement. Not many slam dunk offerings this year, but there may be a couple of good beginnings that can be modded there.
