Left-Handed Hollow Body
The Gretsch G5420LH Electromatic is a single-cutaway hollow body electric guitar built specifically for left-handed players. It features a laminated maple body with vintage-inspired perimeters and refined arches. New FT-5E Filter'Tron pickups deliver rich, balanced tones with classic chime and enhanced clarity. The Classic "C" shaped maple neck and laurel fretboard provide smooth, comfortable playability.
Feedback-Resistant Bracing
An all-new trestle block bracing design increases rigidity and contact between the top and back of the body. This structure is engineered to reduce unwanted feedback, a practical limit for hollow instruments at higher volumes. The result is a faster attack, more focus, snap, and increased sustain. The design addresses the inherent acoustic constraints of a fully hollow construction.
Versatile Tonal Range
The FT-5E Filter'Tron pickups offer a full-bodied punch suited to a variety of musical styles and genres. The guitar comfortably handles clean chime, rockabilly twang, and overdriven grit with exceptional note definition. Players seeking extreme high-gain saturation or active electronics will find the passive Filter'Tron design reaches its limit there. The Orange Stain finish with silver plexi pickguard completes the striking visual package.
