Description:
Get all the '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, updating the historic Electromatic line.
The Gretsch G5422TG Electromatic Classic Hollow Body Double-Cut 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, capable of producing a vintage tone while minimizing unwanted feedback.
Additionally, the new bracing design gives the instrument a more pronounced attack and increased definition, making it even more suitable for overdriven sounds.
Finally, we cannot overlook the new set of FT-5E Filter-Tron pickups, which generate a warm yet always defined sound, true to Gretsch tradition, along with the circuitry featuring a Master Volume with Treble Bleed. This allows for lowering the instrument's volume without unintentionally darkening the tone—an issue often encountered with common circuits lacking Treble Bleed.
