Classic Gretsch Style with a Distinct Voice

Take home the Gretsch G5420T Electromatic hollowbody electric guitar to add true twang to your tone! Incredibly affordable, yet laden with professional features, the G5420T Electromatic hollowbody boasts vintage-voiced Gretsch "Black Top" humbucking pickups, an Adjusto-Matic bridge, and chrome-plated die cast tuners, alongside a Bigsby B60 tailpiece that delivers stunning vibrato. With 3-way pickup selecting, and four controls - neck pickup volume, bridge pickup volume, master tone, and volume - you'll have no problem conjuring the tone you're after with Gretsch's ultra-stylish G5420T Electromatic hollowbody electric guitar.

Introducing the bright and spanky "Black Top" humbucking pickups

Gretsch uncovered a set of Baldwin-era Filter'Tron pickups with incredible punch and twang - perfect for the G5420T Electromatic hollowbody. They reversed engineered those special pups to create the "Black Top" Filter'Tron humbucking pickups. You'll be ready for everything from rockabilly and country to blues and classic rock with your G5420T and Black Top Filter'Trons in your guitar case.

Two volume controls + one tone control = exceptional sonic flexibility

It's easy to stereotype the Gretsch G5420T Electromatic hollowbody until you play it, and then you realize you can pull of a lot of tonal tricks with it. With a volume control for each pickup, you can create your perfect balance between warmth, bite, and brilliance when both pickups are engaged. The master tone control lets you fine-tune your sound once you've got the pickups dialed in. And thanks to the master volume control, you can take your tube amp from clean to growling without changing the balance between your pickups. Of course, you'll get sweet tone from the neck and bridge pickups individually, but there's a lot of territory to cover when you combine them.

Smooth Vibrato Action Courtesy of Bigsby

Nothing beats the character and vintage vibe that a real Bigsby-style tailpiece adds to the G5420T Electromatic hollowbody. Based on the original design created by Paul A. Bigsby, the Bigsby Licensed B60G tailpiece requires next to no effort to use, making it particularly easy for you to pull off slow, subtle, and extended bends with the G5420T Electromatic hollowbody.
