The "Electromatic Spanish" was one of Gretsch's first widely sold electric guitars. It debuted in 1940, well before the later (and better known) Electromatic and Electro II.
By the end of 1955, the Electromatic Spanish name had disappeared, although the basic guitar would live on in the 6187 Corvette. Just a year or two later it got a fancy new Lotus Ivory/Gray paint job.
Like the other Electromatic-era guitars, the ES has clear plastic knobs common to early-'50s Gretsch guitars. As you would expect, there is no cutaway.
