Description:
Get all the '50s and '60s vibe with the new Gretsch Electromatic Classic Hollow Body. The new Electromatic series brings back the distinctive characteristics 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 is even more reminiscent of the original Gretsch models made in Japan, capable of producing a vintage tone while minimizing unwanted feedback.
The new bracing design also provides the instrument with a more pronounced attack and greater definition, making it even better suited for overdrive 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. The circuitry includes a Master Volume with Treble Bleed, allowing you to lower the instrument's volume without unintentionally darkening its tone, a common issue with standard circuits lacking Treble Bleed.
