Description
There’s a reason lap steel guitars carry such a distinctive voice, and the Gretsch G5700 Electromatic captures that character with real authenticity. Built on a solid mahogany slab body, it has the heft and resonance that gives lap steel its signature sustain, paired with a sleek profile that feels right at home on your lap or a stand.
The 22.5″ scale length keeps things comfortable for sliding technique, while the 28-fret plastic fingerboard is marked with a fun mix of circle, triangle, square, and diamond position markers so you can find your way around without looking down constantly. An aluminum nut sits up top, contributing to the guitar’s bright, clear attack.
Tone comes from a chrome-covered single-coil bridge pickup, controlled by G-arrow knobs for master volume and master tone — simple, direct controls that let you dial in everything from smooth, mellow swells to biting, vocal-like leads. The chrome-plated string-through-body bar bridge is topped with a chrome-plated cast zinc cover, and a silver plastic deco control plate rounds out the vintage-inspired look.
