View Full DescriptionFlawless Filter'Trons
The Gretsch powerhouses. Filter'Tron pickups are dynamic and powerful, capable of producing the most crisp, clear sound you've ever heard. They'll send your riffs to the stratosphere with their impeccable articulation and powerful punch – you'll always be heard. The bridge pickup has that classic rock 'n' roll vibe, with plenty of irresistible crunch and fiery harmonics. Whether strumming chords or laying down some lead, your tone will shine through the mix.
When you're riffing with the neck pickup, your tone will take on a warmer, more fluid character, with the bottom end sound fat and prominent and softer highs mixed with balanced mids. It sounds great when playing lead, as each note will sing with expression and warmth – not to mention superb sustain. It is these Filter'Tron pickups which give the G5420GT Electromatic its powerful, punchy voice.
Rule the neck, ride the frets
Maple is king. With the neck made from this magnificent wood, you're in for a treat when you’re sliding along the fretboard. The gloss urethane finish makes it incredibly easy to slide along between frets, giving you the freedom to play your way. And it offers a beautifully bright resonance for even more tonal goodness.
Then there's the laurel fretboard which offers tonnes of quality in terms of feel and tone. Your fingers will experience pure comfort whenever you’re fretting, and your tone will be injected with some lovely warmth, balancing out the brightness of the maple. The fretboard also helps with note sustain, letting your riffs ring out with prominence. There's nothing to hold your playing back on this guitar.
The brilliant Bigsby
There's nothing like it. The Bigsby tremolo system on this guitar is one of the most coveted amongst guitar players. With it, you'll be able to inject your notes with quality vibrato, adding flair and dynamism to your music. You can also be sure that the premium Adjusto-Matic bridge will keep your strings in tune, even when you’re going wild with the whammy bar. With a resonant lightweight hollow body, classy 'f' holes, and a stunning finish, this limited-edition guitar is the stuff of dreams.
