Description:
Get the full '50s and '60s vibe with the new Gretsch Electromatic Classic Hollow Body. The new Electromatic series showcases the distinctive features of the renowned American brand in an accessible yet high-quality version, revitalizing the historic Electromatic line.
The Gretsch G5420T Electromatic Classic Hollow Body with Bigsby features a laminated maple body with vintage lines and a new bracing system that is even more reminiscent of the original Gretsch models made in Japan, capable of producing a vintage tone while minimizing unwanted feedback.
Additionally, the new bracing design provides the instrument with a more pronounced attack and greater definition, making it even more suitable for overdriven sounds.
Lastly, we cannot overlook the new set of FT-5E Filter-Tron pickups, which deliver a warm yet always defined sound, true to Gretsch tradition. The circuitry includes a Master Volume with Treble Bleed, allowing you to reduce the instrument's volume without inadvertently darkening its tone, a common issue with standard circuits lacking Treble Bleed.
