Product information

General

Gretsch guitars just keep looking better over time. This Gretsch G5422TG in Walnut Stain has a 4-ply binding around the body and headstock, immediately reminiscent of the 6120 guitars from the '50s. The chrome-plated hardware really shines and the Electromatic logo has been moved to the gold-coloured pickguard. What's more, the rosewood fretboard features 22 medium jumbo frets with pearloid Hump-Block inlays.

Gretsch G5422TG Walnut Stain with Treble Bleed

Not only does this guitar share the eye-catching characteristics of a Coupe de Ville, its sound has also been revamped. The original Gretsch blacktop Filter'Tron pickups have remained intact, as they are responsible for 'That Great Gretsch Sound'. Specifically for the 2016 series, this Gretsch G5422TG Walnut Stain has been given a master volume control with treble bleed circuitry on the bottom cutaway. That means that the high trebles are sure to cut through the mix, even at low volume levels. The string nut is no longer made of synthetic bone, but of graphite, which really contributes to this guitar's sound 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 the 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'.

- Ik had m.b.t. het product meer 'afstelling' verwacht en vraag me af of er een pro naar kijkt voor ze het product (de gitaar) verzenden? Let op: Geen grote problemen en zeker niet iets wat niet gemakkelijk verholpen kan worden.
