Channeling the classic sounds of '50s Hawaiian electric guitars into a modern package, the Gretsch G5700 Lap Steel Guitar is an affordable throwback with plenty to offer. Built on the foundation of a solid mahogany slab body for reams of sustain, the G5700 is complimented with a chrome string-through-body bridge and single-coil pickup that equate to rock solid intonation and rich tone that reaches the back of the room with ease.
