Overview

An upgraded finish, gold hardware and an electrifying new voice.

This G5420T Electromatic Hollowbody Electric Guitar comes in a special gloss black finish and has elegant gold hardware. It's a sharp Gretsch guitar with a bound single-cutaway hollowbody featuring sound-post bracing and elegant bound f holes. The G5420T features Gretsch Black Top FilterTron pickups that unearth power, punch and an electrifying voice.

Other features include a maple neck, bound rosewood fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and hump-block pearloid inlays, gold plexi pickguard, three-position pickup switch, classic G arrow control knobs, rosewood-based Adjusto-Matic bridge and Bigsby-licensed B60 vibrato tailpiece, vintage-style open-back tuners and gold-plated hardware.

When the Gretsch R&D team recently unearthed a Baldwin-era Filter™Tron pickup with knockout punch and phenomenal twang, they incorporated its DNA into dynamic new œBlack Top Filter™Tron pickups, which now endow Electromatic hollow-body instruments such as the G5420T with an electrifying new voice and identity.
