Overview

An affordable ode to one of the greats with a unique shape and eye-catching color.

The distinctively rectangular G5810 Bo Diddley Electromatic model features dual-chrome Gretsch Special Design Humbucking pickups, a bolt-on maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, wrap-around adjustable bridge, volume and tone controls, a three-way pickup switch and die-cast tuners. Anyone who knows anything about the late, great blues guitarist will instantly recognize the G5810 as being inspired by Diddley's trademark axe. Other appointments on this special guitar include the Hall of Famer's signature on the truss rod cover, knurled strap retainer knobs, and G-Arrow control knobs.
