The all-new Electromatic® Classic Hollow Body guitars bring authentic Gretsch heritage to your fingertips with that unmistakable ‘50s and ‘60s sound that defined an era. The G5420T Electromatic® Classic Hollow Body Single-Cut with Bigsby® showcases a laminated maple body featuring vintage-inspired perimeters and refined arches, complemented by innovative trestle block bracing that effectively reduces unwanted feedback whilst enhancing the instrument’s tonal characteristics.
This hollow-body construction benefits from increased rigidity and improved contact between the top and back, resulting in faster attack with enhanced focus, snap, and extended sustain. The all-new FT-5E Filter’Tron™ pickups deliver explosive full-bodied punch with classic chime and remarkable presence, clarity and note definition that cuts through any mix.
Playability receives equal attention with the all-new Classic “C”-shaped maple neck providing comfortable feel for improved performance, topped with a 12”-radius laurel fingerboard. The versatile upgraded control layout includes master volume with treble bleed circuit, master tone, individual pickup volume controls and three-position pickup toggle switch, whilst premium appointments include oversized bound F-holes, multi-ply body binding, smaller late-‘50s G6120 bound headstock, vintage-style open-back tuning machines, Graph Tech® NuBone® nut, pearloid Neo-Classic™ thumbnail inlays, secured Adjusto-Matic™ bridge and Bigsby® B60 vibrato tailpiece.
Available in striking Airline Silver with black pickguard or Azure Metallic, Orange Stain and Walnut Stain with silver pickguard, all models feature nickel hardware. This resplendent instrument represents the sound of honour itself – built for those who play with pride.
