This double-cutaway Gretsch G5422TDC Electromatic Hollowbody is super sleek and delivers incredible tone thanks to the 5-ply Maple body and the new Black Top FilterTron humbucker pickups. These pickups are based on early Baldwin-era FilterTrons and they deliver real twang and power.
This guitar has some superb detailing, too, from the bound f-holes to the Bigsby B60 vibrato and the classic Trans Red finish. The comfortable neck is Maple with a Rosewood fretboard that sports 'Humpback' inlay work, and is also bound. You also have the very cool and classic G 'arrow' knobs which just fit so well with this powerful beauty. This Gretsch G5422TDC Electromatic Hollowbody is a great player with looks to spare.
