Gretsch G5420T Electromatic Classic Hollow Body Single-Cut with Bigsby - airline silver

The GRETSCH G5420T Electromatic Classic Hollow Body Single-Cut with Bigsby electric guitar (2506115547) gets a facelift in 2022, including redesigned trestle blocks to exacerbate acoustic resonance while limiting feedback problems, a new duo of Gretsch FT-5E Filter'Tron pickups that are even more dynamic and expressive, and a Treble Bleed circuit that maintains high frequencies when turned down.

This is a guitar with familiar lines (reminiscent of vintage models such as the Epiphone Blues Zephyr and Gibson ES-175), a must-have in the mid-range. It has the brand's distinctive pronounced acoustic amplitude that makes it so appealing. Resonant with punchy midrange and clear bass, it's a Gretsch through and through, and the pickups are no exception. The neck pickup is capable of delivering pleasantly moderate saturation, but the bridge pickup is much more raging, while remaining in the Country-Rock spirit. It's anything but transparent, and remains clear and expressive even on high distortion registers.
In short, the G5420T has a real temperament, yet offers a wide range of tones.

Lovers of 50's/60's Rock/Country will therefore get their money's worth with this particularly splendid G5420T, of high overall quality.
