Gretsch G5422TG Electromatic - Walnut stain

Wow, I bet this one caught your eye didn't it? A classic Gretsch with gold hardware and bigsby finished in walnut stain, which quite honestly looks like a deep wine colour. It is a stunner to look at, and thankfully it doesn't stop there, it is a great player and delivers all those "semi" honky tones you would expect.

This used one is a very clean example, fully working, we have replaced the jack socket with a switchcraft one, set the guitar up and strung it with Ernie Ball Ultras. 

Here is all the description and spec from the good folks in Gretschville....

This deluxe edition of the Electromatic G5422TG features unmistakable Gretsch sound and detailing, from the Classic Hollowbody DC body shape and the bound, fifties-throwback G6120 headstock, to the oversized F-holes, gilded hardware, and Gold Plexi pickguard complete with black logo. Your fret-hand is treated to the effortless comfort of a C-profile neck and familiar 12 inch fretboard radius, while the laminated maple body is supported by in-house-developed trestle block bracing: a construction first devised in the fifties to ensure efficient feedback reduction, enhanced resonant sustain and sweet acoustic twang.

The Gretsch G5422TG: FT-5E Filter’Tron Pickups, a GraphTech NuBone Nut & Bigsby B60 Vibrato Tailpiece

Classic Gretsch tone is supplied by a pair of FT-5E Filter’Tron pickups, supported by a versatile control layout complete with a master volume pot with a treble-bleed circuit to prevent loss of clarity and sparkle when the volume is pulled back. So, you're assured of full and versatile sound that never gets muddy. Optimal tuning stability is assured by a Graph Tech NuBone nut, a set of Vintage-Style open-gear machine heads, an Adjusto-Matic bridge, and just to truly polish it all off: a Bigsby B60 Vibrato tailpiece.
