Trestle Block Bracing for Focused Attack and Sustain

The G5420T has a laminated maple hollowbody with trestle block bracing, which increases rigidity between the top and back. This not only helps reduce unwanted feedback on stage, but also results in your tone having a tighter attack and improved note separation, with more snap and enhanced sustain. The trestle block bracing allows the G5420T to sing with resonance while promoting the clarity and presence essential for live performance.

Classic Gretsch Punch and Chime With FT-5E Filter'Tron Pickups

A pair of FT-5E Filter'Tron humbucking pickups provide the G5420T's traditional Gretsch sound. The bridge pickup delivers sparkling treble and tight lows for that signature punch and twang. The neck pickup warms up the midrange for smooth rhythm playing. Blending the two produces the classic Gretsch chime, perfect for arpeggiated chords. The pickups capture the G5420T's full tonal range and resonance for essential Gretsch tone.

Comfortable Playability With Maple Neck and Laurel Fingerboard

The G5420T features a comfortable C-shaped maple neck joined to the body at the 16th fret. It has a smooth 12" radius laurel fingerboard for bend-friendly playing. Laurel also helps brighten the tone. The slim neck profile with medium jumbo frets makes it easy to play fast riffs or intricate chords. Whether you're comping rhythms or soloing, you'll find the G5420T comfortable and playable for hours.

Versatile Controls With Master Volume and 3-Way Toggle Switch

An upgraded control layout gives you versatility. Individual volume knobs for each pickup let you blend their output, while a master volume with treble bleed retains clarity at lower levels. The 3-way toggle selects bridge, both or neck pickups for everything from sparkling cleans to thick distortion. Shape your tone further with the master tone control. The control knobs are conveniently placed for quick adjustments while performing.
