Description
What makes this guitar special: This is the newly redesigned G5422TG Electromatic hollow body from Gretsch! Since its introduction, the Electromatic series has embodied the essential Gretsch design and tone elements at an affordable price. With a few new tweaks, Gretsch has taken this outstanding line of electrics to a new level of professionalism and value for this version. For the new G5422TG Gretsch has added gold hardware, the body is now quadruple bound, and it is finished with an aged white binding giving the guitar more luxurious yet vintage style. They have added a Graphtech Nubone nut for increased sustain and reduced string friction, which helps keep the guitar in tune with even the most rigorous Bigsby tremolo modulations. Gretsch has also modified the electronics, adding a treble bleed circuit to the volume pot, so your tone stays clean and crisp as you swell the volume.
