The DNA of the Limited Edition G5420TG Electromatic ’50s Single Cut Hollow Body Electric Guitar with Bigsby is indisputable with its Orange Stain finish and Gold Hardware.

Anyone who has ever lusted after a Gretsch Hollow Body Electric Guitar has probably lusted after an orange G6120 with a Bigsby and with good reason. This iconic model has been played by greats such as Chet Atkins, Brian Setzer, Chris Cheney, Pete Townsend, Eddie Cochran, Mark Knopfler, Keith Scott, the Reverend Horton Heat and many more . . . Gretsch have taken the DNA of the 6120 and created the Limited Edition G5420TG.

The Limited Edition G5420TG evokes the cherished mid-‘50s period of Gretsch hollow body guitars with its enlarged body-colour-matching headstock, Hump Block fretboard inlays and pickguard-matching pickup inserts.

The arched Maple top features sound-post bracing and oversized F-holes for superb acoustic breadth, while the Maple neck and Rosewood fingerboard lets you fly through classic licks with ease.

Alive and resonant, the G5420TG Limited Edition Electromatic® Hollow Body Single-Cut with Bigsby® and Gold Hardware features a full hollow build with a true Filter’Tron™ voice that explodes with huge punch and clear, strong presence. Like all Electromatic guitars, it delivers the fearless and electrifying authenticity that has set Gretsch apart as the quintessential rock ‘n’ roll guitars from the very beginning.

Gretsch have fitted the G5420TG Limited Edition with twin Black Top Filter’Tron pickups that offer a thundering, versatile sonic palette that can take you through a catalog of classic jazz, blues and rock ‘n’ roll tones. Both pickups have pickguard matching tortoise inserts adding a further touch of class.

Authentic Gretsch guitar tones are at your fingertips with a flexible control layout consisting of master volume with treble bleed circuit, master tone, bridge and neck pickup volume controls and three-position pickup toggle switch. A Bigsby® B60 tailpiece completes the package.

A small number of these Limited Edition G5420TG Hollow Bodied electric guitars have finally arrived in Australia and they will sell out fast.
We are the NSW south coast’s longest established guitar specialist with a reputation built on customer care and industry-leading know how.
