Vintage-Inspired Hollowbody Design With Elegant Arched Maple Top and Sides

Dual Filter’Tron Humbuckers for Rich, Full Tones With Chime and Presence

From snappy country licks to howling classic rock leads, the G5420T’s pickups have you covered. Their brighter top end cuts through a mix while the lows remain tight and focused. Let your playing shine with the classic Gretsch sound.
Adjusto-matic Bridge with Bigsby B60 Vibrato Tailpiece for Rocking Vibrato Effects
Anchored by an Adjusto-matic bridge, the G5420T sings with resonance and sustain. For expressive, warbling vibrato, Gretsch outfits it with a Bigsby B60 tailpiece. Give the bar a wiggle to add mesmerizing movement to your notes and chords. Between its singing sustain and stellar vibrato system, the G5420T makes it easy to emulate the playing styles of Gretsch greats like Chet Atkins, Eddie Cochran and Brian Setzer.
