Alex Turner is pictured here playing a Gretsch 6187 Corvette before an Arctic Monkeys performance, circa 2012-2013. While this one of the only times Alex can be seen playing the guitar, it cannot be determined whether it is his guitar or not. The possibilities of it being his stem from keeping it as a back up and/or to practice with, but it could possibly be someone else’s guitar that he was testing out, again this cannot he determined. Nevertheless, the guitar fits into Turners typical guitar realm, as he owns and plays quite a few Gretsch guitars.

The Gretsch 6187 Corvette is a 16 inch fully hollow electric archtop with a DeArmond Dyansonic pickup in the bridge. It very similar to a Gibson ES-125, but a much rarer guitar. The tones that come from this Gretsch fit right in to something you could hear from Alex.
