Gretsch G5422TDCG

Description

When the Gretsch R&D team recently unearthed a Baldwin-era FilterTron pickup with knockout punch and phenomenal twang, they incorporated its DNA into dynamic new Black Top FilterTron pickups, which now endow Electromatic hollow-body instruments such as the G5422TDCG with an electrifying new voice and identity.

The G5422TDCG Electromatic Hollow Body is a sharp new Gretsch guitar with a bound double-cutaway hollow body featuring sound-post bracing and elegant bound f holes. Other features include a maple neck, bound rosewood fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and hump-block pearloid inlays, gold plexi pickguard, three-position pickup switch, classic G arrow control knobs, rosewood-based Adjusto-Matic bridge and Bigsby-licensed B60G vibrato tailpiece, vintage-style open-back tuners and gold-plated hardware. Available in Snow Crest White and Cherry Blossom.
