Description
The all-new G5420T-140 celebrates Gretsch's 140th anniversary, and it's a terrific guitar that perfectly blends classic designs with modern performance features. From its FT-5E Filter'trons to its historic body shape and Two Tone Platinum finish, this guitar is a Gretsch enthusiast's dream come true. If you've been looking for a remarkable hollow-body guitar with a timeless sound and feel, you need to check out the G5420T-140.
Crafted with a hollow laminated maple body and shaped with vintage-inspired perimeters and arches, the G5420T delivers a bright, resonant tone with excellent articulation. Its trestle block bracing dramatically reduces feedback and adds attack, snap, and sustain to your playing by increasing contact between the top and back of the body. Old-school Gretsch fans will also love its Classic "C" shaped maple neck and 12" radius laurel fingerboard that feel comfortable and traditional.
The G5420T Electromatic boasts two FT-5E FilterTron humbuckers that churn out full lows, punchy mids, and clear, chiming highs. These pickups can be dialed in to fit any performance setting, courtesy of the updated control layout that includes a Master volume with a treble bleed circuit, a master tone knob, individual pickup volume controls, and a three-position pickup toggle switch. Whether you need a thick, rich warmth for mellow jazz standards or a hot, searing growl for rock 'n' roll classics, the G5420T is more than capable of delivering the goods.
Trimmed out with vintage-style open-back tuners, a secured Adjusto-Matic bridge, and a Bigsby B70 tailpiece, the G5420T is excellent for players seeking a killer hollow body that embodies years of Gretssch design work.
