Here for sale we have a Gretsch G5420T Electromatic Hollow Body Electric Guitar in Orange Stain finish. Built in Korea in 2020, this guitar features a Laminated Maple top, back and sides along with a Maple neck with 22 fret Rosewood fingerboard. The hardware features consists of a Bigsby B60 Vibrato Tailpiece, a Rosewood-based Adjusto-Matic and a set of Vintage-Style Open-Back tuning machines. The pickups featured are a pair of Gretsch Black Top Filter'Tron pickups, wired to a 3-way selector, master volume, master tone and individual pickup volume controls.
The Maple neck sits comfortably in hand, with the Thin 'U' profile feeling slim and quick, providing a comfortable and ergonomic playing surface. The Gloss finish to the rear of the neck provides effortless navigation up and down the neck, whilst the 12" radius Rosewood fingerboard provides a nicely flat and consistent playing experience right the way up the register. The single cutaway body design provides great access to the higher frets, great for those fast lead lines.
The hollow construction provides a responsive and resonant tone, with ‘Trestle Block’ bracing that improves tone by increasing sustain and decreasing feedback, this provides an unpronounced yet well defined low end that is complimented by a warm midrange and detailed high frequencies, this coupled with the Black Top Filter'Tron pickups provide a thick, warm voicing, with distinct top-end that is articulate and well-defined. The controls offer a wide range of tonal opportunities, individual volume controls mean that you can blend the pickups to your preference in the middle position, providing complete tone-shaping flexibility.
