Gretsch G5135 CVT PS Stump O Matic Electromatic CVT

guitarinteractivemagazine.com

The Gretsch G5135CVT-PS "STUMP-O-MATIC" is a signature model that impresses with its flawless build quality and versatile tone options. While it departs from Gretsch's traditional aesthetic, it offers a modern, retro look with its white finish and chrome hardware. The standout feature is its trio of Mega’Tron pickups, which provide a wide range of sounds, from punchy distortion to smooth cleans. The inclusion of a middle pickup blend control adds further versatility, allowing for tailored tones. Despite being made in China, it boasts professional-grade components and solid workmanship. It's a comfortable, well-balanced guitar that defies genre boundaries, making it an attractive choice for more than just Fall Out Boy fans. A slight downside might be the painted neck finish, which may not suit all players, but overall, it's a superb addition to Gretsch's lineup.
