For those after the clear, powerful character of a classic hollow body guitar, the Gretsch G5420T Electromatic offers an easy inroad to pure tone. Bearing aesthetic appointments like '50s style G6120 headstock and Pearloid Neo-Classic fretboard inlays, the G5420T matches beauty with sonic braun through a treble bleed circuit, Bigsby B60 vibrato tailpiece, and pair of iconic "Black Top" Filter'Tron pickups. Moderately priced and ready for the stage, this model works well as an entry point into the Gretsch realm. Not to be confused with the similarly named G5420T Electromatic Classic which features a laurel fretboard and FT-5E Filter'Tron pickups.
