Description

The G5420T Electromatic® Classic Hollow Body Single-Cut with Bigsby® features a laminated maple body with vintage-inspired edges and a refined arch, and all-new trestle block bracing to reduce unwanted feedback. The new trestle block design increases rigidity and contact between the top and back of the body for more focus, punch, and sustain, and a faster onset of sound. When paired with the all-new FT-5E Filter’Tron™ pickups, this hollow design’s audio explodes with a deep, full-punch classic tone and enhanced presence, clarity, and sonic definition.

The all-new classic “C”-shaped maple neck provides a more comfortable feel for improved playability and performance, and is finished with a 12-inch radius laurel fingerboard.

Vibrant and resonant, the G5420T features a master volume with treble bleed circuit, master tone, separate pickup volume control and 3-position pickup toggle switch, oversized bound F-holes, multi-layer body binding, and a smaller late – 50’s G6120 Headstock, vintage-style open tuners, NuBone® nut by Graph Tech®, Neo-Classic™ pearloid thumbnail inlays, secure Adjusto-Matic™ bridge, and a Bigsby® B60 -Vibrato tailpiece.

This stunning instrument is available in outstanding Airline Silver with a black pickguard, or Azure Metallic, Orange Stain, or Walnut Stain with a silver pickguard. All models feature nickel hardware.
It’s the sound of honor itself – be proud.
