An immaculate example of the stunning Gretsch G5422TG Electromatic Hollow Electric Guitar in Classic Walnut. C'mon, that's gorgeous isn't it?
The G5422TG Electromatic brings together vintage Gretsch styling and modern, player-friendly features, for maximum comfort and playability. The classic hollow body design features a laminated Maple body with vintage-inspired perimeters and refined arches, delivering a sound that is alive and resonant. All-new trestle block bracing helps reduce unwanted feedback which is a welcome addition, particularly when playing live! It also delivers a faster attack with more focus and increased sustain. A classic "C" shape Maple neck with a 12" radius Laurel fingerboard offer incredible comfort and playability whether you're playing chords or intricate single-line melodies.
The G5422TG comes loaded with a set of all new FT-5E Filter’Tron™ pickups, which deliver that "great Gretsch sound" in spades. With a full bodied punch, classic chime and enhanced note definition, the G5422TG is authentically vintage whilst offering something for modern players too. An Adjusto-Matic™ bridge and a Bigsby® B60 tailpiece provide all the classic vintage vibrato effects you've come to expect from Gretsch guitars and the Graph Tech® NuBone® nut and vintage-style tuners ensure it stays in tune every time!
