Product Description

The Gretsch G5420LH Electromatic is a stunning left handed Hollow Body that tips it's hat to the legendary single cut Gretschs of old. Featuring premium hollow body construction the Electromatic Hollow Body has a thick and complex resonant tone that screams classic Gretsch due in part to the 'black top' Filter'Tron pickups which Gretsch's RnD team based on a vintage Baldwin era pickup.

When you have a classic, popular model like the 5420 it's hard to improve on what you have. Gretsch have managed it though with a handful of updates. First and foremost there's the treble bleed on the master volume, a new 4 ply binding on the body and a rebound headstock. It looks and sounds stunning.

Here's what Gretsch Say about the G5420LH Electromatic Hollow Body

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 G5420LH with an electrifying new voice and identity. The G5420LH Electromatic Hollow Body is a sharp new Gretsch guitar with a bound single-cutaway hollow body featuring sound-post bracing and elegant bound f holes. Other features include a maple neck, bound rosewood fingerboard with 22 medium frets and Pearloid Neo-classic 'Thumbnail' Markers, silver plexi pickguard with Gretsch Electromatic Logo, three-position pickup switch, classic "G" arrow control knobs, rosewood-based Adjusto-Matic bridge and Bigsby-licensed B60 vibrato tailpiece, vintage-style open-back tuners and chromeplated hardware.

Mr Rene Schluter16th Dec 2018

As a leftie, I find there isn't a great deal of choices out there... At least not compared to all the right-handed offerings out there. And so as a leftie, finding the perfect guitar is a bit more of a challenge. I was super happy to find this Gretsch Electromatic. I trusted the online review of the 2016 Electromatic series refresh by the fellows at Andertons and decided to order the Gretsch online, knowing I could return the item in the event I wouldn't like it. I haven't regretted my decision for a second. The guitar not only looks stunning (I purchased the Orange Stain), it's very easy to play as well and the sound is supurb; I really love the typical "Gretsch sound". What I personally appreciate as well is the quality of the tuners; the guitar stays in tune quite well. I can really recommend it!
