Product Description

The Gretsch G5420T Electromatic Hollow Body is a sharp new guitar with a bound single-cutaway hollow body featuring sound-post bracing and elegant bound f holes. Other features include a maple neck, bound rosewood fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and hump-block pearloid inlays, silver plexi pickguard, three-position pickup switch, classic "G" arrow control knobs, rosewood-based 'Adjusto-Matic' bridge and Bigsby-licensed B60 vibrato tailpiece, vintage-style open-back tuners and chrome-plated hardware. Available in Black, Orange, Sunburst and Aspen Green.

When the Gretsch R&D team recently unearthed a Baldwin-era Filter'Tron pickup with knockout punch and phenomenal twang, they incorporated its DNA into dynamic new "Black Top" Filter'Tron pickups, which now endow Electromatic hollow-body instruments such as the G5420T with an electrifying new voice and identity. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Gretsch Guitars and Drums products.

Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (2 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Gretsch Electromatic G5420T Sunburst"
Overall: I've wanted a Gretsch ever since I saw Mike Nesmith playing them on The Monkees when I was a kid and then when I got older and got into the Rev. Horton Heat and last week thanks to zZounds great pay as you play plan I finally got one. The finish is absolutely flawless. The neck chunky but I like that. I do wish they would have kept the original Gretsch inlay on the fretboard but that is just a personal preference. The guitar definitely needed setup when I got it. The action and intonation were way off but again no big deal. I was able to fix that. When plugged in this thing sound absolutely amazing. The Baldwin blacktop filtertrons sound really jangly and bright and clear. I can't say how they compare with other models or TV Jones pickups but it definitely has that Gretsch sound. I really wanted that Gretsch G5422TDC double cutaway in snow crest white but I wasn't sure if zZounds would ever get any in so I went ahead and got this one instead. I am definitely not disappointed.

"Gretsch 5420T Orange Electromatic Guitar"
Overall: Overall: This is the finest guitar I have ever purchased online and zZounds made it possible by standing behind their lowest price guarantee and 8 month payment plan. The Gretsch is a Gretsch and it does everything I need in spades! Features: I had read all the "nightmare" comments on this model and can state that I have encountered none of them. It stays in tune, even with heavy Bigsby action and bends. Great binding with no seams and the F holes are even attended to! Quality: This is a superb instrument and is flawless in its completed form. Made in Korea, not Indonesia has some have argued. The paint job sparkles while revealing the wood grain on front and back. No twisted headstock or bowed fret board and all the inspection paperwork is included. The Orange is apt for a Gretsch and its' history. Manufacturer Support: Gave it 21/2 stars since I have no experience with them. Sound: Works great with all my IPad apps and amps. Especially, with my Fender Bassman, but everyone pretty much knows that. It is a Gretsch so I can't find any fault with it and I love the controlled feedback you can get out of her!!!! The Bigsby has perfect placement so I can pick and strum with it cradled in my hand. Not all whammy bars are created equal!! Ease of Use: This is the main reason I got it! The neck is slick and smooth and it is surprisingly thin, in my hand, compared to my Strat. The hollow body makes it light to hold and allows you to play as long as you want with no strain on your shoulder. Naturally, you can just pick it up and play and not even bother to plug it in. Great for noodling and picking out a new lick. All the volume and tone knobs are easily accessible with the old style "G" on top of them. Pick up switch has three positions and is in the standard setting. The action was perfect, for me, right out of the box and the intonation was spot on. I can even play slide on it with no buzz! Value: zZounds made this work for me with the 8 month payment plan. Everyone would like a Falcon, but I don't have 45 tour dates planned so why spend the doe? Unless, your Gretsch lust is completely out of control! This honey fits the bill and will provide years of joy! WOW Factor: Some guitars are just yours and when you recognize it you have to embrace it. The absolute beauty and tone of this Gretsch will be held in my arms forever. The first four hours I started playing it, I realized that its features kept catching my eye and distracting me from the music. Just looking at it, you can hear it screaming to be picked iup. Because of the gorgeous Orange I had to name her the "Cacafuego", long may she play!

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!
