Heavily inspired by classic ’50s and ’60s Gretsch hollow bodies, Gretsch’s G5422TG Electromatic Classic Hollow Body Double-Cut is a vintage tone monster with undeniable style.
The G5422TG Electromatic Classic Hollow Body Double-Cut sports a laminated maple body with vintage-inspired perimeters and refined arches, giving it a familiar feel and a resonant voice with plenty of top-end chime. Its all-new trestle block bracing helps reduce unwanted feedback and gives notes a faster attack with more focus, snap, and sustain, breathing life into lead lines and chords alike. And, with its Classic “C” shaped maple neck and 12″ radius laurel fingerboard, the G5422TG Electromatic Classic boasts a comfortable in-hand feel, not too slight, not too substantial.
Complementing the G5422TG’s naturally lively voice is a pair of FT-5E Filter’Tron pickups that pump out a punchy, full-bodied sound with excellent clarity and note definition. These pickups can conjure any tone, from warm and subdued to clear and biting, thanks to the G5422TG’s upgraded control layout that includes a Master volume with a treble bleed circuit, master tone, individual pickup volume controls, and a three-position pickup toggle switch.
Complete with vintage-style open-back standard tuning machines, a secured Adjusto-Matic bridge, and a Bigsby B60 vibrato tailpiece, Gretsch’s Electromatic Classic Hollow Body Double-Cut is perfect for players looking for a top-notch, vintage-voiced hollow body Gretsch.
