Product Ref: 115342
Full Description
View Full Description5-Ply Maple Hollowbody
The Gretsch G5420TG is crafted from 5-ply maple, producing a full bodied resonance that is beautifully distinctive. The maple body delivers exceptionally bright and twangy tones, as well as exceptional sustain. A pair of classic F holes allow the sound to be projected even further, and they also add a touch of elegance to the overall appearance.
Standard ''U'' Neck Profile
The Gretsch G5420TG Guitar features a standard ''U'' neck profile, providing players with comfortable playability, and the perfect choice for those who play with their thumb on the back or side of the neck. This comfortable neck is crafted from maple for even brighter tones, and it is topped with rosewood, for enhanced articulation and sonic warmth.
Pair Of Powerful Filter'Tron Pickups
With a pair of Black Top Filter'Tron Pickups located at the bridge and neck, the G5420TG captures the deep, resonant tones of the hollow maple body. The Filter'Tron pickups deliver a huge, punchy sound that works well with rock music, while still producing excellent balance and transparency that allows the wood's natural tone to shine through. With full, focused lows and sparkling highs, the Filter'Tron Pickups provide defined tones for a variety of playing styles.
High Quality Hardware
One of the most recognisable features on this guitar is the Bigsby tremolo, which has featured on Gretsch guitars since the 1950s. With the Bigsby tremolo, players can add pitch-bending effects to single notes or full chords, while remaining in-tune. There is also an Anchored Adjusto-Matic Bridge that is common on Gretsch Guitars due to its reliable tuning. Introduced in the early 1970s, this innovative bridge offers superb, individual intonation for each string, with its six adjustable saddles. A secured rosewood base is also included in its design, and offers better resonance and stability.
