Description:
Get the full '50s and '60s vibe with the new Gretsch Electromatic Classic Hollow Body. The new Electromatic series brings back the distinctive features of the renowned American brand in an accessible yet high-quality version, updating the historic Electromatic line.
The Gretsch G5420T Electromatic Classic Hollow Body with Bigsby features a laminated maple body with vintage lines, along with a new bracing system that is even closer to the original Gretsch models made in Japan, capable of producing a vintage tone while minimizing unwanted feedback.
Additionally, the new bracing design gives the instrument a more pronounced attack and greater definition, making it even more suitable for overdriven sounds.
Finally, we cannot overlook the new FT-5E Filter-Tron pickup set, which generates a warm yet always clear sound, true to Gretsch tradition, along with the circuitry featuring Master Volume Treble Bleed. This allows you to lower the instrument's volume without unintentionally darkening its tone, an issue common in standard circuitry without Treble Bleed.
