Gorgeous Gretsch style? The G5420T's got it. A pair of sizzling Filter'Tron humbucking pickups round out the sweet vintage tone of this hollowbody electric.

What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
Adjusto-Matic bridge Flawless intonation across all strings
Black Top Filter'Tron pickups Tight, bright and focused vintage tone
5-ply maple body Sweetly resonant tone with strong, smooth highs
Bigsby vibrato tailpiece Classic top-mount vibrato adds resonant mass

The Gretsch G5420T Limited Edition Electromatic Hollow Body is a sharp 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 "Black Top" Filter'Tron pickups, which now endow Electromatic hollow-body instruments such as the G5420T with an electrifying voice and identity.

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.

Musical Background:
