Gretsch G5420T Electromatic Hollow Body

The Gretsch G5420T Electromatic is a hollow-body electric guitar with a single-cutaway design and a Bigsby vibrato tailpiece. It features a laminated maple body with trestle block bracing, FT-5E FilterTron pickups, and a maple neck with a 12-inch radius laurel fingerboard. This instrument delivers classic hollow-body tone with reduced feedback.

Players seeking vintage Gretsch style

This guitar suits players who want the resonant voice, classic chime, and percussive attack of a traditional hollow-body design with modern feedback control. It is not for musicians who require the high-output saturation of humbuckers, the sustained compression of a solid body, or a thinner, lighter instrument for extended standing sets.

Laminated maple body with trestle block bracing

The laminated maple construction and internal trestle block bracing increase rigidity and top-to-back contact, providing a faster attack, extended sustain, and controlled feedback at stage volumes. The hollow chambers deliver the airy resonance and woody character essential to the Gretsch sound. It runs out of headroom for extremely high-gain modern metal tones where a solid body is standard.

Questions about this item

What amplifier and cable do I need to hear the FT-5E FilterTron pickups?

Any standard electric-guitar amplifier and a 1/4-inch instrument cable will work; the pickups are passive and require no external power.

Will the vintage-style open-back tuning machines and Bigsby tailpiece stay in tune alongside my older Gretsch?

The open-back tuners and Bigsby are designed for stable tuning on this model; regular string stretching and proper setup keep them reliable.

How can I confirm the trestle block bracing is reducing feedback after I set up the guitar?

Play at stage volume facing the amp; the hollow body should resist howling longer than an unbraced hollow-body, showing the bracing is working.
