The Gretsch G5422TDC Electromatic resonates a sound that is rich in authenticity and steeped in rock 'n' roll history. With its sleek yet assertive design, this semi-hollow guitar delivers a resonant hollow-body tone with a more present and chiming voice. Its thinner, fully hollow build captures the true Filter'Tron voice, embodying the fearless electrifying authenticity that Gretsch guitars are renowned for. This is the sound of honor, a tribute to the quintessential rock 'n' roll guitars of yesteryears. Play it proud.

The guitar features a number of premium additions including Dual Black Top Filter'Tron humbucking pickups for a crisp, clear sound, and versatile upgraded controls including a master volume treble bleed circuit to maintain high-end clarity while reducing volume. The oversized bound F-holes and aged multi-ply body binding add to the aesthetic appeal of the guitar, while the smaller late-'50s G6120 bound headstock pays homage to a classic era. The Graph Tech NuBone nut enhances the guitar's resonance for a richer tone, and the Pearloid Neo-Classic "thumbnail" fingerboard inlays offer a nod to classic Gretsch design. Finally, the Bigsby B60 vibrato tailpiece allows for subtle pitch modulation, a feature that can be harnessed for a variety of musical styles.
