Description:
Experience all the vibe of the '50s and '60s 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, updating 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 closely resembles the original Gretsch models made in Japan. This design generates 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.
Last but not least, we must highlight the new FT-5E Filter-Tron pickup set, capable of producing a warm yet clearly defined sound, true to Gretsch tradition. The circuit includes a Master Volume with Treble Bleed, allowing you to lower the instrument's volume without unintentionally darkening its tone, a common issue with circuits lacking Treble Bleed.
