Hollowbody electric with Bigsby vibrato tailpiece.
The Gretsch G5427T Electromatic hollowbody electric guitar brings together the best of classic Gretsch sound and contemporary features. Its laminated flame maple body and top produce the bold, articulate tone Gretsch is known for. The guitar's trestle block bracing helps minimize feedback, letting the full-bodied punch and chime of its dual humbucking pickups shine through. With individual volume controls, a master volume knob with treble bleed circuit and versatile 3-position tone switch, you have ample tonal shaping ability at your fingertips. The Bigsby B60 vibrato tailpiece adds expressive pitch control to your playing. The G5427T Electromatic has a comfortable C-shaped maple neck for improved performance, along with a Graph Tech NuBone nut and medium-jumbo frets. Its flame maple top provides stylish, vintage appeal. Plug in the Gretsch G5427T Electromatic and experience classic hollowbody sound with modern playability.
Laminated Maple Hollowbody Produces Signature Gretsch Tone
The G5427T Electromatic gets its bold, articulate tone from its laminated flame maple hollowbody construction. The non-chambered body avoids unwanted feedback, letting the natural acoustic properties of the maple wood resonate fully. This allows the dual humbucking pickups to deliver their full-bodied punch and chime with clarity and presence. The trestle block bracing further enhances the guitar's feedback rejection, for consistent tone whether practicing at home or plugged in on stage. The hollowbody design produces the lively, expressive sound Gretsch guitars are prized for.
Powerful Pickups Bring Out Bold, Dynamic Sound
Further amplifying the G5427T Electromatic's impressive voice are its dual humbucking pickups. The neck pickup conveys warmth and roundness, while the bridge pickup produces a bold, cutting tone. With individual volume controls, it's easy to blend the two pickups to craft your ideal tone. The master volume knob has a useful treble bleed circuit that retains brightness when turning the volume down. The 3-position toggle switch provides versatile tonal shaping, letting you go from rich and full to bright and jangly. Together, these thoughtful controls give you the tools to exploit the full potential of the Electromatic's pickups.
Bigsby B60 Vibrato Tailpiece Adds Expressive Pitch Control
No Gretsch guitar would be complete without the addition of a Bigsby vibrato tailpiece. The G5427T Electromatic comes equipped with a Bigsby B60, which lets you add nuance and flair to your playing with its smooth, responsive pitch control. Subtly bend and waver individual notes or dive bomb full chords with the classic Gretsch wobble—it's all possible with the B60. The tailpiece is securely anchored to the top of the guitar's body for consistent return to pitch. Add new dimensions of expression to your hollowbody tone with the Bigsby B60 vibrato.
Comfortable Maple Neck Improves Overall Playability
The G5427T Electromatic's maple neck has a smooth C-shape that feels fast and comfortable in your hand. Its medium-jumbo frets are ideal for various playing styles, from delicate fingerpicking to aggressive riffing. Together with its 1.687" nut width, 24.6" scale length and 12" radius laurel fingerboard, the neck provides a familiar feel for players used to modern electric guitars. The Graph Tech NuBone nut enhances tuning stability and sustain. Overall, the Electromatic's neck design makes playing this hollowbody a breeze while retaining vintage vibe.
