Description
The G5420T Electromatic Classic Hollow Body Single-Cut brings 1950s and ’60s Gretsch design language into a guitar that’s ready for the stage tonight. Finished in Azure Metallic, it’s a single-cutaway hollow body built around a laminated maple shell shaped with vintage-correct outlines and gently arched top and back.
Inside, Gretsch fitted new trestle block bracing rather than relying on older construction methods. This bracing tightens the connection between the top and back of the body, which cuts down on feedback at higher volumes while sharpening the attack of each note. The result is a hollow body that responds quicker, holds sustain longer, and stays articulate even when pushed.
Loaded with the new FT-5E Filter’Tron pickups, the G5420T delivers the big, rounded punch and bell-like chime that made Filter’Trons a staple of rockabilly, surf, and indie tones for decades. Note separation and presence come through clearly, whether you’re playing clean rhythm work or driving into overdrive for leads.
Topped off with a Bigsby vibrato tailpiece, this guitar is built for players who want authentic Gretsch feel and sound without stepping up to a vintage or custom-shop price point – a genuine next-step instrument for anyone moving beyond an entry-level hollow body.
