Here for sale we have a Gretsch G5127 Electromatic Hollow-Body Electric Guitar in Baby Blue finish. Made in Korea in 2006, this set-neck construction guitar features a laminated Maple body, a Maple neck, and a 22-fret Rosewood fingerboard. Other appointments include Grover Sta-Tite 18:1 Open Back Tuners, a Bigsby tailpiece, and a pair of Original DeArmond 2000 Single Coil pickups that are wired to master volume, bridge volume, neck volume, master tone, and a three-way pickup selector.
The Gloss finished Standard "U" neck profile feels smooth and comfortable in the hand offering a neck which is slim enough to provide practicality for speedy lead lines. The Rosewood fingerboard provides a smooth surface under the fingers, whilst the 12" radius strikes a perfect balance between comfortable chord playing and technical playing. Medium Jumbo frets offer the player the best of both worlds; being great for vibrato and string bending techniques whilst also retaining an authentic vintage feel. The Cutaway design also gives the player extended reach into the upper register of the 22 frets making this guitar an effective instrument for a range of genres and styles.
Amplified, the hollow-body construction of this guitar helps to deliver an open and airy tone that is uniquely Gretsch. The pair of Dearmond 2000 single-coil pickups provide a thick and full-bodied tone, well suited to a wide range of genres yet retaining their own unique voice. The neck pickup is round and warm, delivering a smooth tone with plenty of power for pushing your solos and melody lines to the front of the mix. The bridge pickup is of course brighter, and with a higher output can handle a surprising amount of gain for a seriously rockin' tone. The master volume control is a welcome addition which allows you to control feedback on stage.
Please be aware that for international buyers import fees are not included in our postage and packaging cost, this only covers the cost of the guitar being sent to you. Import fees will be charged by Customs upon the guitar's arrival in the recipient country. Due to Brexit, this also applies to EU buyers. We advise checking the total import cost with Customs as this is not information we are able to accurately provide
