This is the newly redesigned G5420LH Electromatic hollow body from Gretsch!  Since its introduction, the Electromatic series has embodied the essential Gretsch design and tone elements at an affordable price.  With a few new tweaks, Gretsch has taken this outstanding line of electrics to a new level of professionalism and value.
 The new Electromatics have modifications and improvements both cosmetic and functional. For the new G5420LH they’ve gone back to the classic ’59 style Neo Classic “thumbnail” fretboard inlay and the body is now quadruple bound and finished with an aged white binding giving the guitar more luxurious yet vintage vibe. They’ve added a Graphtech Nubone nut for increased sustain and reduced string friction. Gretsch has also modified the electronics, adding a treble bleed circuit to the volume pot, so your tone stays clean and crisp as you swell the volume. The G5420LH is a full hollow body arch top with parallel tone bar bracing and a sound post.  The sound post adds stability to the structure and increases sustain while allowing the guitar to retain the essential hollow body sound. The neck angle is just right allowing the guitar to be set up with perfect action all along its 22 frets. The playability of the G5420LH is phenomenal with nice low action and excellent fretwork. The neck is a "C" style shape with a low profile but not too thin. The new "Black Top" Filter’Tron pickups are excellent with full bodied tone and a warm vintage character. The bridge pickup is bright and snappy and has just the right amount of "twang". It has a well defined mid range and responds very well with as much overdrive as you like. The neck pickup is mellow and springy with a more "scooped" tonal character and sounds jazzy and mellow when played clean or smooth when overdriven. When combined, the pickup set creates the classic and lush, full bodied and articulate tone you’d expect from a Gretsch. Wheather it's rock & roll, jazz, blues, rockabilly, fingerstyle or punk rock and beyond, the G5420LH is right at home delivering the quintessential Gretsch sound. The G5420LH is a wonderfully versatile guitar that looks as good as it sounds, and that’s saying something!We are a long standing fully authorized independent Gretsch guitar dealer.
