Here for sale we have a Gretsch G5420TG Electromatic 135th Hollow Body electric guitar in Dark Cherry and Casino Gold finish. Made in Korea in 2017, this Limited Edition set-neck constructed guitar features a 5-Layer Laminated Maple body, Maple neck, and 22 Medium Jumbo fret Ebony fingerboard. This guitar is fitted with a Gold finished hardware including a Bigsby B60 tailpiece, Adjusto-Matic bridge with Ebony base and Vintage-Style Open-Back machine heads. The pickups installed are a pair of Black Top Filter’Tron, these are wired to a 3-way selector,master volume, master tone, neck volume and a bridge volume.
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 Ebony 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.
The Black Top Filter’Tron pickups produce a variety of tones, sounding excellent on clean and slightly overdriven settings, highly suitable for jazz, blues, country or even rock genres. The neck pickup delivers a deep, warm tone that offers clear and rounded notes. The bridge pickup gives the player a more jangly and trebly tone that provides a punchy high-mid range, however the blending of the pickups gives the best of both worlds in the middle position. The hollow body resonates well, with the Laminated Maple top generating a snappy and responsive feel without losing the depth of the bass and punchy mid tones.
