Description
There’s a reason lap steel guitars conjure images of island breezes and old-school twang — that warm, singing sustain is baked right into the design. The Gretsch G5700 Electromatic Lap Steel delivers exactly that, wrapped in a striking Tahiti Red finish that turns heads before you even plug in.
Built on a solid mahogany slab body, this lap steel keeps things simple and playable with a 22.5-inch scale length and a 28-fret plastic fingerboard. Circle, triangle, square, and diamond position markers make navigating the fretboard visual and intuitive, while an aluminum nut helps keep tuning stable and tone consistent.
The single-coil bridge pickup, wrapped in a chrome cover, feeds that classic Hawaiian growl through master volume and master tone knobs topped with Gretsch’s signature G-arrow caps. Down at the bridge, a chrome-plated string-through-body bar bridge with a cast zinc cover keeps strings anchored and sustain long, and the whole setup is finished off with a silver plastic deco control plate for that authentic retro look.
