The 2016 Gretsch G5420T Electromatic is a stunning Hollow Body that tips it's hat to the legendary single cut Gretschs of old. Featuring premium hollow body construction the Electromatic Hollow Body has a thick and complex resonant tone that screams classic Gretsch due in part to the 'black top' Filter'Tron pickups which Gretsch's RnD team based on a vintage Baldwin era pickup.When you have a classic, popular model like the 5420 it's hard to improve on what you have. Gretsch have managed it though with a handful of updates. First and foremost there's the treble bleed on the master volume, a new 4 ply binding on the body and a rebound headstock. It looks and sounds stunning.Here's what Gretsch Say about the G5420T Electromatic Hollow BodyWhen 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 new "Black Top" Filter'Tron pickups, which now endow Electromatic hollow-body instruments such as the G5420T with an electrifying new voice and identity. The G5420T Electromatic Hollow Body is a sharp new Gretsch 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 frets and Pearloid Neo-classic 'Thumbnail' Markers, silver plexi pickguard with Gretsch Electromatic Logo, 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 chromeplated hardware.SpecificationsHead Shape LATE 50'S GRETSCH G6120 Head Overlay BLACK Head Binding AGED WHT Head Inlay GRETSCH "BLOCK" LOGO; MOP OVERLAY Truss Rod Cover STANDARD GRETSCH 2-PLY; BLK / WHT Neck Material MAPLE Neck Backshape STANDARD ELECTROMATIC GRETSCH Nut Width 1.6875" (43 MM) Nut Material GRAPH TECH NUBONE Scale Length 24.6" (625 MM) Heel Cap AGED WHITE Fretboard Material ROSEWOOD Fretboard Inlay THUMBNAIL; PEARLOID Fretboard Radius 12.6" (320 MM) Fretboard Binding AGED WHT Side Markers BLACK DOTS No. of Frets 22 Fret Size MEDIUM JUMBO Neck Joint DOVE TAIL Body Shape 16" GRETSCH SINGLE CUT Cutaway SINGLE CUTAWAY Lower Bout 16" Body Depth 2.75" Top Material LAMINATED MAPLE Sides Material LAMINATED MAPLE Back Material LAMINATED MAPLE Bracing / Center Block PARALLEL TONE BARS W/ SOUND POST Top Binding AGED WHT / BLK / AGED WHT / BLK Back Binding AGED WHT / BLK / AGED WHT / BLK Volume Controls MASTER VOL.
