Preowned Gretsch G5191 Tim Armstrong Electromatic Hollowbody Left-Handed Electric Guitar - Matte Black

Gretsch G5191LH Tim Armstrong Electromatic – Left-Handed Hollowbody – Matte Black & Gold

This isn’t your grandpa’s hollowbody.

The Gretsch G5191LH Tim Armstrong Electromatic is built for left-handed players who want attitude, volume, and zero apologies. Designed with Rancid’s Tim Armstrong, this 17” maple hollowbody throws down loud, raw, and ferocious tone with unmistakable Gretsch character.

Finished in flat matte black with gold hardware, this thing looks like it walked straight out of a sweaty club show. It’s bold. It’s aggressive. And it means business.

The Tone

Dual Black Top Filter’Tron humbuckers deliver punch, grit, and that snarling midrange bite that cuts through distorted amps and loud drummers. Crank it up and you get a gritty growl perfect for punk and rock. Roll it back and there’s still clarity and snap for rockabilly, garage, and dirty blues.

This guitar is loud and resonant unplugged — and when plugged in, it absolutely rips.

The Build

• 17” single-cutaway maple hollowbody

• Parallel tone bar bracing with sound post for stability

• 24.33” scale maple neck

• Rosewood fingerboard with a comfortable 12.6” radius

• Gold Grover tuners

• Adjusto-Matic bridge with harp tailpiece

• Individual pickup volume/tone controls + master volume

The body is big, but it’s balanced. The neck feels fast and comfortable, whether you’re hammering out power chords or ripping through leads.

Why This One Hits Hard

• Designed specifically for punk energy

• High-output Filter’Trons with serious bite

• Matte black + gold hardware = stage-ready attitude

• Hollowbody resonance with rock-solid stability

• Left-handed and hard to find

This isn’t a polite jazz box. It’s a battle-ready hollowbody that thrives on distortion, feedback, and loud stages.

If you’re a lefty looking for something different from the usual solidbody crowd — something with swagger, volume, and real presence — this Gretsch G5191LH is ready to tear it up.

Plug it in. Turn it loud. Let it howl.
