Withdrawal termsDescription
The G5420T Electromatic is affordable, yet it is equipped with features that warrant a little extra attention. It is fitted with vintage-voiced FT-5E Filter'Tron humbucker pickups, an Adjusto-matic bridge, and a Bigsby B60 vibrato, allowing you to achieve the subtle vibrato effects for which Gretsch guitars are renowned. A three-way pickup selector and four controls—including a master volume with a treble bleed circuit—ensure that you can easily conjure up the legendary Gretsch tone that the G5420T Electromatic is built to deliver.You get a classic Gretsch hollowbody guitar featuring laminated maple for the top, back, and sides, and equipped with a 22-fret maple neck that is attached to the body using a set-neck construction. The fingerboard is made of laurel and adorned with pearloid fret markers.
If you are looking for the classic 1950s-era archtop guitar tone, you will need genuine Gretsch humbuckers. That is why Gretsch has equipped the G5420T Electromatic with a pair of FT-5E Filter'Tron pickups. Unlike most other humbuckers, these traditional Gretsch pickups deliver a characteristically bright and open sound, with a treble-focused bite reminiscent of a single-coil pickup. With their robust character, Gretsch FT-5E Filter'Tron humbuckers prepare you for everything from rockabilly and country to blues and classic rock.
The G5420T Electromatic allows you to perform a wide range of tonal tricks. Separate volume controls for each pickup make it possible to achieve the perfect balance of warmth, bite, and brilliance when both pickups are active. The master tone control allows you to fine-tune your sound, while the master volume control lets you go from a completely clean tone to a grittier sound without having to adjust the balance between your pickups.
Semi-hollow guitars like the G5420T are built with two U-shaped brackets that run parallel inside the guitar from the neck joint to the bridge, while also bracing the top and back. This construction improves sustain and resonance but is susceptible to feedback. On the G5420T, Gretsch has used a new block-brace design that improves the contact between the top and back while making the body stiffer. This gives the guitar a more pronounced attack, more sustain and resonance, and less susceptibility to feedback.
