The Gretsch G5420T Electromatic Classic Single-Cut Hollowbody Brings to Life the Magic of the Rock'n'Roll Era

Get classic '50s and '60s -inspired Gretsch sound and style with Gretsch's Electromatic® Classic Hollow Body guitars. Crafted with essential Gretsch hollow-body sound, style and playability, these no-nonsense guitars are your next-step Gretsch. The G5420T Electromatic® Classic Hollow Body Single-Cut with Bigsby® features a laminated maple body with vintage-inspired perimeters and refined arches, as well as trestle block bracing to help reduce unwanted feedback. By increasing rigidity and contact between the top and back of the body, the new trestle block design also results in the sound having a faster attack with more focus, snap, and increased sustain. Coupled with all-new FT-5E Filter'Tron™ pickups, this hollow build's voice explodes with huge full-bodied punch, classic chime and enhanced presence, clarity and note definition. A Classic "C"-shaped maple neck offers a more comfortable playing feel for improved playability and performance, and is topped with a 12-inch radius laurel fingerboard.

Alive and resonant, this G5420T also features a versatile upgraded control layout including master volume with treble bleed circuit, master tone, individual pickup volume controls and three-position pickup toggle switch, oversized bound F-holes, multi-ply body binding, smaller late-'50s G6120 bound headstock, vintage-style open-back standard tuning machines, Graph Tech® NuBone® nut, pearloid Neo-Classic™ Thumbnail inlays, secured Adjusto-Matic™ bridge and a Bigsby® B60 vibrato tailpiece. This resplendent instrument comes in a standout Airline Silver finish, complete with black pickguard and nickel hardware.
