Gretsch Electromatic Hollow Body instruments give a very cool nod resonant 1970s era Gretsch sound and style with designs and features that evoke the best elements of that era.
When the Gretsch R&D team recently unearthed a Baldwin-era Filter'Tron pickup with knockout punch and phenomenal twang, they incorporated its DNA into dynamic new "Black Top" Filter'Tron™ pickups, which now endow Electromatic hollow-body instruments such as the G5422TDC with an electrifying new voice and identity. The G5422TDG Electromatic® Hollow Body is a sharp new Gretsch guitar with a bound double-cutaway hollow body featuring sound-post bracing and elegant bound f holes. Other features include a maple neck, bound rosewood fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and hump-block pearloid inlays, gold plexi pickguard, three-position pickup switch, classic "G" arrow control knobs, rosewood-based Adjusto-Matic™ bridge and Bigsby®-licensed B50 vibrato tailpiece, vintage-style open-back tuners and gold-plated hardware.
