Get classic 50s & 60s -inspired Gretsch sound and style with the all-new Electromatic Classic Hollow Body guitars. Crafted with essential Gretsch hollow-body sound, style and playability, these no-nonsense guitars are your next-step Gretsch.
The G5420T Electromatic Classic Hollow Body Single-Cut with Bigsby features a laminated maple body with vintage-inspired perimeters and refined arches, as well as all-new trestle block bracing to help reduce unwanted feedback. By increasing rigidity and contact between the top and back of the body, the new trestle block design also results in the sound having a faster attack with more focus, snap, and increased sustain. Coupled with all-new FT-5E FilterTron pickups, this hollow builds voice explodes with huge full-bodied punch, classic chime and enhanced presence, clarity and note definition.
An all-new Classic C-shaped maple neck offers a more comfortable playing feel for improved playability and performance, and is topped with a 12-radius laurel fingerboard.
