Gretsch Electromatic // The BEST versatile guitar for Jazz, Surf or Rock?

[@populustremula7496]

The best video on youtube for this guitar! Very thorough and explains ALL of the controls followed by demonstrating the sounds produced. I own this guitar in white (Neil Young you know) and just love it. If anyone thinks a Gretsch can't rock watch this video and remember that the Who's Next album is Pete Townshend on a Gretsch. Well done and thanks so much for posting this.

Wow, thanks for the kind words my man!! We try to give you all the best possible information we can!

I have a guitar like that but it is made in China., Its called a Star Shine. Nice Guitar.

[@monteirojude]

Nicely done! I am a big fan of the 5420t and have one in Aspen Green. It’s such a wonderful instrument for varied styles of music and a great step into electric guitar from acoustic.

[@WS102]

The newer G5420T guitars are made in China. If you look around for an older model, you can get one that was made in Korea. Most of the Korean made guitars were built in the Samick factory and are really high quality. They were getting too expensive to produce there, so they moved production to China.

[@trevorashworth7307]

I have a Korean made model and the quality of build etc. is superb.Thanks.

Some information that I would have found useful: Is the bridge pinned? How is the output compared to a Strat or PAF? What is the upper frets (17-22) access like? How stable is the tuning with the Bigsby? How does the hum cancelling compare to a humbucker?

[@The_Guitarshop]

Hi Francis, if you mean the bridge is on the body/wood with bridge pins? Then yes. The output is a medium output, and sits in the PAF range, but it's more transparant and breaks up a little less. Acces is very nice because of the cutaway, like I said in the video, a lot more playable than I thought myself! Bigsby is quite stable, of course when used extensively I would recommend to tune after a song. There is of course some hum, but nowhere near a single coil! Hope that helps

Excellent review. I have one. Fairlane blue, I think.

[@ipuya]

That orange one is simply gorgeous!! 😍 why not try a bit of blues on there?

[@chcotydf1]

Nice review! Thank you!

[@aitken1965]

LOL, he's adjusting thectone control, not the master volume 😅 Just takin' the piss, mate. These are brilliant guitars, and yours was a great review.

[@amrsalahmahmoud3034]

Is there similar model but smaller body like the Ibanez GB-10 George Benson ? Very nice demo amazing sound

[@ugcbylizlee]

What's the middle position? I love that warm tone and want to know how to play it on my own

[@marcargenter4576]

The tone control turns the volume down?

[@The_Guitarshop]

No there is a master volume for both pick-ups. Hope that helps!

[@marcargenter4576]

@@The_Guitarshop but you turn down the tone when you wanna show the volume down.

[@The_Guitarshop]

@@marcargenter4576 Damn, turns out you're right! Must have made a tiny slip up good catch. My bad!

[@aitken1965]

​@The_Guitarshop yeah, but you were not adjusting the master volume

Yep - I don't dig that either. It's just not necessary. God bless, all.
