Key Features
Say hello to the quintessential rock 'n' roll sound. The Gretsch G5420T Electromatic has been designed with the legendary genre at its very core. Equipped with a pair of expertly designed Filter'Tron humbuckers - wound to give you a powerful voice at every frequency - you've got explosive sound that'll fight its way to the front of any mix you're playing in. You'll always be heard.
And while those electronics are at the heart of the G5420T's amazing sound, there are plenty more finishing touches that make this an all-round excellent guitar. A Bigsby tremolo gives you iconic, warbling tones to give an extra edge to your lead playing. The semi hollow construction adds warmth and fullness to your sound. And a slick maple neck with a "U"-shaped profile offers exquisite playability, too. It's all here - everything you need to rock and roll.

Gretsch are synonymous with rock 'n' roll. Their guitars have driven the sound of many of the genre's greatest ever guitarists. From George Harrison, to Pete Townshend, to Neil Young, and beyond - Gretsch guitars are woven into the history of music. And one of the biggest reasons that's the case is that they've got a sensational ability to produce industry-leading electronics capable of creating unique, powerful sound.
The Filter'Trons loaded into the G5420T are no exception. Humbuckers designed to eliminate noise interference and provide excellent clarity, Filter'Tron pickups have become renowned in recent years for their remarkably broad tonal range and cutting, dominating sound. They really do bring everything played through them right to the front of the mix. You'll never tire of hearing what you can do.
Semi-hollow body electric guitars always bring a distinctive quality to whatever is played on them. Adding a full, acoustic-like richness to your electric tone, you get a huge sound that stands out. The maple tonewood used for the body of this G5420T adds a unique brightness, too. Thanks to this, your lead lines really will sparkle.
Where do we start with the Bigsby? It's been seen on some of the most iconic guitars of all time. It's been used by some of the most legendary players ever. And it really has stood the test of time. There's still nothing like a Bigsby, like the B60 vibrato featured on the G5420T, for bringing a bit of tremolo magic to your playing. And they always look amazing, too. With their classic aesthetic, you'll benefit from the old-school style it brings to this stunning guitar.
We could talk all day about the G5420T Electromatic's sound and style. But if we did that, we'd be doing a disservice to the exquisite, liquid-smooth playing action it possesses. The maple neck is wonderfully sleek, allowing your hand to glide effortlessly from fret to fret. A premium rosewood fingerboard feels magnificent beneath your fingertips, and adds a touch of warmth to each note you play. And the thick "U"-shaped profile is comfortable, getting rid of cramp and strain and letting you play on for longer.
