Gretsch Electromatic Classic Hollow Body
There are three new Gretsch Electromatic Classic Hollow Body models including the G5420 and the G5422 which are both available in right and left handed versions, and the G5422G-12 which is a 12-string model. Each of the three new models feature laminated maple bodies and C-shaped maple necks with laurel fingerboards fitted with 22 medium jumbo frets.

FT-5E Filter’Tron & Trestle Bracing
Those FT-5E Filter’Tron new pickups are controlled by two volume knobs, plus a master volume knob with a treble bleed circuit, along with a master tone knob, and a three-way toggle switch. Then we have this new Trestle Bracing which Gretsch says offers improved sustain and a snappier attack.

The newly updated G5420T and G5422TG both come fitted with a Bigsby vibrato, whereas the left-handed version comes instead with a G-cutout tailpiece. You get nickel hardware on the G5420 and gold hardware on both of the G5422 and G5422G-12 models. You can hear these new Electromatic Classic Hollow Body models in the official Gretsch video below.
