About This Listing

Get classic '50s & '60s -inspired Gretsch sound and style with the all-new Electromatic® Classic Hollow Body guitars. Crafted with essential Gretsch hollow-body sound, style and playability, these no-nonsense guitars are your next-step Gretsch.

The G5420T Electromatic® Classic Hollow Body Single-Cut with Bigsby® features a laminated maple body with vintage-inspired perimeters and refined arches, as well as all-new trestle block bracing to help reduce unwanted feedback. By increasing rigidity and contact between the top and back of the body, the new trestle block design also results in the sound having a faster attack with more focus, snap, and increased sustain. Coupled with all-new FT-5E FilterTron pickups, this hollow build's voice explodes with huge full-bodied punch, classic chime and enhanced presence, clarity and note definition.

An all-new Classic C-shaped maple neck offers a more comfortable playing feel for improved playability and performance, and is topped with a 12-radius laurel fingerboard.

Alive and resonant, the G5420T also features a versatile upgraded control layout including master volume with treble bleed circuit, master tone, individual pickup volume controls and three-position pickup toggle switch, oversized bound F-holes, multi-ply body binding, smaller late-€™50s G6120 bound headstock, vintage-style open-back tuning machines, Graph Tech® NuBone® nut, pearloid Neo-Classic thumbnail inlays, secured Adjusto-Matic bridge and a Bigsby® B60 vibrato tailpiece.

It's the sound of honor itself - play proud.

Product Overview
For those after the clear, powerful character of a classic hollow body guitar, the Gretsch G5420T Electromatic offers an easy inroad to pure tone. Bearing aesthetic appointments like '50s style G6120 headstock and Pearloid Neo-Classic fretboard inlays, the G5420T matches beauty with sonic braun through a treble bleed circuit, Bigsby B60 vibrato tailpiece, and pair of iconic "Black Top" Filter'Tron pickups. Moderately priced and ready for the stage, this model works well as an entry point into the Gretsch realm. Not to be confused with the similarly named G5420T Electromatic Classic which features a laurel fretboard and FT-5E Filter'Tron pickups.
