General
The Gretsch G5420T Hollow Body in Aspen Green sounds as clean and fresh as it looks. It's constructed from 5-ply laminated maple for a crystal-clear tone and outstanding resonance which is further augmented by the Graph Tech NuBone string nut and Adjusto-Matic bridge. Playability is better than ever thanks to 22 medium jumbo frets on a rosewood fretboard. Authentic details like the Gretsch G6120 headstock, the logo, and silver-coloured pickguard all make the G5420T a real piece of eye candy.
G5420T: blacktop Filter'Tron and Bigsby vibrato
Two potent blacktop Filter'Tron pickups are responsible for the amplified sound of this semi-acoustic Electromatic guitar. It combines the warm tone of a humbucker with the sparkling trebles of a single-coil, which is what gives the Gretsch G5420T its versatile character. Another juicy detail is the addition of a volume control with treble bleed which ensures the higher frequencies are sure to cut through the mix, even at lower volume levels. Of course, no Gretsch G5420T would be complete without the Bigsby B60 tailpiece with vibrato.
The brand Gretsch
Gretsch was founded in 1883 by Friedrich Gretsch, an instrument-maker who owned a small store in Brooklyn, New York where he built banjos, drums, and tambourines. Now, Gretsch has grown into one of the biggest drum and guitar manufacturers in the world. In this family-owned company, craftsmanship, quality, and innovation have been passed down from generation to generation. Famous artists like Chet Atkins, Bono, Charlie Watts, Neil Young, and Phil Collins are all fans of 'That Great Gretsch Sound'.

Wrote the following about Gretsch G5420T 2016 Electromatic Hollow Body with Bigsby, Aspen Green
Kom op Bax, in deze tijd van verduurzaming laten we toch niet een busje extra heen en weer rijden terwijl het per reguliere post afgehandeld kan worden? Ook voor jullie is dat toch ook een stuk voordeliger? Daarnaast zie ik dat deze gitaar nu niet leverbaar is, dus moet ik na het terugsturen ook nog genoegen nemen met een wachttijd. Is dit niet anders op te lossen?
Wil er graag wel bij vertellen dat ik al heel veel jaren, heel veel aankopen bij Bax heb gedaan en alles eigenlijk altijd keurig zonder schade werd bezorgd. Dit is de eerste keer dat ik met een relatief kleine schade te maken heb.
