Description
Exclusively available at Sweetwater, the Gretsch G5428TG-59 Electromatic guitar delivers a rich hollowbody tone and the iconic Gretsch vibe in abundance. Featuring a fully hollow laminated maple body, the G5428TG-59 boasts Gretsch’s revered 1959 trestle bracing, which dramatically reduces feedback without compromising the lush hollowbody resonance.
The sturdy maple neck is carved into a Classic “C” profile, providing effortless navigation of the 12-inch-radius laurel fingerboard. Whether you’re in pursuit of classic rock crunch or rockabilly bite, the G5428TG-59’s dual FT-5E Filter’Tron pickups are more than capable of delivering a clear, full, and incredibly hi-fi sonic signature.
Topping off the impressive features is an anchored Adjusto-matic bridge and a shimmering Bigsby B60 vibrato unit, offering a plethora of expressive pitch-bending possibilities. The bright and spanky FT-5E Filter’Tron pickups capture the quintessential ’50s-era archtop guitar tone that Gretsch is renowned for.
This hollowbody electric guitar with a maple top, Bigsby B60 vibrato, and two humbucking pickups is a true embodiment of Gretsch’s golden-age elegance, available exclusively at Sweetwater. The laurel fingerboard and maple neck provide a smooth and comfortable playing experience, allowing you to unleash your musical prowess with ease.
