This is really Cool. You are looking at a 2026 Gretsch G5420T Electromatic Classic Hollow Body Single-Cut w/ Bigsby. The G5420T is crafted with the essential semi-acoustic sound, style, playability and charm that guitarists adore about '50s and '60s-inspired Gretsch instruments. At a great price-point to boot, this can serve as the ideal next-step Gretsch or as a way into the world of hollow electric guitars. And while traditional aesthetically, the Gretsch G5420T boasts a few modern appointments that bring it up to the standards of today's generation!

From The Web:
Treat yourself and audiences to decades of delectable Gretsch tone with the G5420T Electromatic Classic Hollowbody Single-cut Electric Guitar. Incredibly affordable yet loaded with professional features, the G5420T Electromatic boasts vintage-voiced FT-5E Filter'Tron humbucking pickups, an Adjusto-matic bridge, and a Bigsby B60 vibrato for the subtle pitch modulation that has become synonymous with Gretsch. A 3-way pickup switch and four controls — including a master volume equipped with a treble-bleed circuit for chimey highs at all volumes — ensure you'll have no problem conjuring the legendary tones the G5420T Electromatic was built for.
Bright and spanky FT-5E Filter'Tron pickups
When you want that classic '50s-era archtop guitar tone, you need real Gretsch humbuckers. That's why Gretsch outfitted the G5420T Electromatic with a pair of FT-5E Filter'Tron pickups. Unlike most humbuckers, these traditional Gretsch pickups yield a characteristically bright and open sound that's jangly on your highs with added single-coil-esque bite. With their robust character and trademark cut, the Gretsch FT-5E Filter'Tron humbuckers keep you ready for everything from rockabilly and country to blues and classic rock.
Exceptionally flexible electronics
The G5420T Electromatic allows you to pull off a lot of tonal tricks. Volume controls for each pickup help you create a perfect balance between warmth, bite, and brilliance when both pickups are engaged. The master tone control lets you fine-tune your sound once you've got the pickups dialed in. Thanks to the master volume control, you can take your tube amp from clean to growling without changing the balance between your pickups. And of course, you'll get sweet tone from the neck and bridge pickups individually.
Redesigned trestle-block bracing
Traditionally, trestle-braced guitars feature two U-shaped braces that run parallel from the neck joint to the bridge, simultaneously bracing the top and the back. This pattern enhances sustain and resonance but falls victim to feedback. Now, Gretsch unveils a new trestle block bracing design that enhances the performance of the fan-favorite trestle bracing pattern. Trestle-block bracing facilitates more contact between the top and back while adding extra stiffness to the traditional design. Trestle-block bracing flaunts a quick, snappy attack, more sustain, and greater resonance — all without the dreaded hollowbody feedback.
Smooth vibrato action
Nothing beats the character and vintage vibe that the Bigsby-style tailpiece adds to the G5420T Electromatic. Based on the original design created by Paul A. Bigsby, the B60 vibrato requires next to no effort to use, making it particularly easy to pull off slow, subtle, and extended bends. You'll be able to bend into notes, give full chords vintage-sounding modulation, and imbue single notes with a character that isn't attainable through other setups.
Key Features:
- Laminated Maple Body — Underpins the guitar with a bright, vibrant voice. Also boasts the vintage-inspired perimeters and refined arches that make a Gretsch, a Gretsch!
- Trestle Block Bracing — All new design helps to reduce unwanted feedback, which is essential when playing onstage through a loud amplifier. By increasing rigidity and contact between the top and back of the body, this also results in the sound having a faster attack with more focus, snap, and increased sustain.
- Classic “C”-Shaped Maple Neck — Offers a comfortable feel for improved playability and performance; topped with a 12”-radius Laurel fingerboard.
- FT-5E Filter'Tron Pickups — Explode with huge full-bodied punch, classic chime and enhanced presence, clarity and note definition.
- Treble Bleed Circuit — Retains the high-end in your signal when lowering the master volume knob.
- Adjusto-Matic Bridge with Bigsby Tailpiece — Beautifully-machined bridge allows you to easily make intonation adjustments, with gorgeous Bigsby B60 tailpiece letting you make subtle on-the-fly warbles.
- Graph Tech NuBone Nut — Innovative material doesn't damp string vibrations like plastic, but transfers the optimum frequencies to the guitar allowing for more volume, tone, and harmonics.
