Full Description
View Full DescriptionPristine Filter'Tron pickups
Hollowbody guitars are renowned for their refined tone and rich, flowing resonance. Infuse that elegance into your playing. Dual Black Top Filter'Tron humbuckers capture every detail of your string vibrations and deliver them with warmth and plenty of force. Playing through the neck position yields a rich tonality with plenty of creamy characteristics.
Meanwhile, the bridge pickup demonstrates the range of the classic Filter'Tron. Still retaining some of the heady warmth of the neck, it shimmers with a bright high end that will easily pierce through any mix. An excellent setting for melodies and lead playing with a bit of bite, there's acres of room for tonal testing on this centrepiece guitar.

A 5-ply maple body carries all the curves and reliefs that make the Electromatic a sight to behold. Not only does it look stunning, but it also carries a tingling resonance and endless sustain.
Exceptional design continues in the maple neck, which is fashioned in a slim but sturdy "U" shape to provide comfort for your fretting hand. Play freely and stun your audience for hours without hand fatigue thanks to Gretsch's careful crafting.
