Description
The G5420T is Gretsch’s answer for players who want authentic hollow-body character without chasing vintage prices. Built with a fully hollow 5-ply maple body finished in gloss Aspen Green, it resonates with the airy, woody openness that defines the breed, while parallel tone bars and an internal sound post keep things stable and feedback-resistant at gig volume.
Dual Black Top Filter’Tron humbuckers deliver that unmistakable Gretsch snap — bright and jangly on the top end, with a punchy midrange that cuts through a mix rather than getting lost in it. Controls go beyond the basics too, with individual volumes for each pickup, a master volume with treble-bleed circuit, and a master tone, giving you real shaping power on the fly via the 3-position toggle.
The rosewood-fingerboard maple neck wears a comfortable “U” profile over a 24.6″ scale, topped with a Graph Tech NuBone nut and pearloid Neo-Classic thumbnail inlays across 22 medium jumbo frets. A Bigsby B60 vibrato tailpiece sits atop an Adjusto-Matic bridge on a secured rosewood base, ready for smooth pitch dips and shimmer.
Other details worth noting:
- Oversized bound F-holes with aged multi-ply body binding
- Compact late-’50s-style G6120 bound headstock
- Vintage-style open-back tuning machines
- Silver plexi pickguard with black Gretsch logo
- G-Arrow control knobs
- Ships with .010-.046 nickel-plated steel strings
Whether you’re chasing rockabilly slap-back or need a hollow-body voice for indie and roots tones, the G5420T brings genuine Gretsch attitude to the stage.
