General
Gretsch is known as the Cadillac of guitars. This G5422TG in Snowcrest White is no exception. It has a 4-ply aged binding around the body and a headstock that's reminiscent of a 6120 guitar from the '50s. This semi-acoustic hollow body boasts a gorgeous combination of chrome-plated hardware and a stylish gold-coloured pickguard adorned with the Electromatic logo. The icing on the cake is the rosewood fretboard and 22 medium jumbo frets with pearloid Hump-Block inlays.
Gretsch G5422TG Snowcrest White and Treble Bleed
The Gretsch G5422TG in Snowcrest White has a blacktop Filter'Tron pickup for that familiar Gretsch sound. The master volume on the bottom cutaway has a treble bleed function that ensures the trebles cut through the mix without sounding muddled, even when the volume is turned down considerably. The string nut is made of Graph Tech NuBone, which contributes to this guitar's excellent tone and sustain.
The Gretsch Brand
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'.
