DESCRIPTION
Classic '50s and '60s Gretsch sound and style come forward in the Electromatic Classic Hollow Body line. Built around essential Gretsch hollow-body tone, looks and playability, these are no-nonsense guitars designed to be your next-step Gretsch.
The G5420T Electromatic Classic Hollow Body Single-Cut with Bigsby pairs a laminated maple body — complete with vintage-inspired perimeters and refined arches — with all-new trestle block bracing that helps tame unwanted feedback. By increasing rigidity and contact between the top and back, the trestle block also sharpens the response: faster attack, more focus and snap, and increased sustain. Add the all-new FT-5E Filter'Tron pickups and the voice explodes with huge full-bodied punch, classic chime and enhanced presence, clarity and note definition.
Playability gets the same attention. A Classic "C"-shaped maple neck feels comfortable in the hand and is topped with a 12"-radius laurel fingerboard, 22 medium jumbo frets and pearloid Neo-Classic thumbnail inlays. A Graph Tech NuBone nut keeps tuning stable, especially useful with the Bigsby B60 vibrato tailpiece onboard.
The upgraded control layout gives you real-world versatility: individual pickup volumes, a master volume with treble bleed circuit so highs stay intact as you roll back, a master tone and a three-position pickup toggle. Finishing touches include oversized bound F-holes, multi-ply body binding, the smaller late-'50s G6120 bound headstock, vintage-style open-back tuners, a secured Adjusto-Matic bridge and nickel hardware throughout.
