Gretsch G5420TG Limited Edition Electromatic® Hollow Body Single-Cut With Bigsby® and Gold Hardware

No nonsense, Electromatic hollow-body guitars are the perfect real, pure and powerful Gretsch instruments. They’re your next-step Gretsch—bold, dynamic and articulate, and crafted with essential Gretsch sound, style and playability.

Alive and resonant, the G5420TG Limited Edition Electromatic® Hollow Body Single-Cut with Bigsby® and Gold Hardware has fully 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. It’s the sound of honor itself—play proud.

Draped in our classic and stately Cadillac Green finish with all-gold hardware, this limited edition’s premium features include dual Black Top Filter’Tron™ humbucking pickups, versatile upgraded controls including master volume treble bleed circuit, oversized bound F-holes and aged multi-ply body binding, smaller late-1950s G6120 bound headstock, secured Adjusto-Matic™ bridge with rosewood base, Graph Tech® NuBone® nut, pearloid Neo-Classic™ thumbnail fingerboard inlays, Bigsby® B60 vibrato tailpiece and G-arrow knobs.
