G5420TG Electromatic Ltd Ed 135th: features

The body and neck of this limited edition hollow-body model are both made of maple, while the fretboard is made of dark ebony and home to 22 medium jumbo frets and thumbnail position markers. Other notable features include the NuBone string nut by Graph Tech, a familiar 24.6-inch scale length and a comfortable 12-inch fretboard radius. There's also a Bigsby B60G vibrato tailpiece that allows you to easily add subtle tremolo effects to your playing.

Black Top Filter'Tron and treble-bleed master volume

The G5420TG is equipped with two Filter'Tron humbucker pickups that are responsible for delivering that great Gretsch sound to your amp. These Black Top humbuckers offer a stable sound without any undesirable noise and add a touch of sparkle too. You can customise your tone by means of the four potentiometers and 3-way pickup switch you have at your disposal. Each pickup has its own volume control but there's also a master volume control with a treble-bleed circuit and a master tone potentiometer as well. That gives you a broad sound palette to work with making this Electromatic model versatile enough for a variety of music styles including rock, rockabilly and country.
