Description

The limited-edition Gretsch G5427TG Electromatic hollowbody single-cut electric guitar delivers the iconic Gretsch sound with upgraded features for today’s players. Combining a laminated maple body with trestle bracing, dual FT-5E Filter'Tron pickups and a Bigsby B60 vibrato tailpiece, the G5427TG offers a bold yet refined tone and style. Finished in a striking Midnight Sapphire with gold hardware, this guitar is as visually stunning as it is sonically versatile. Whether you're chasing classic Gretsch twang or experimenting with modern sounds, the G5427TG has you covered.

Authentic Gretsch Tone With FT-5E Filter'Tron Pickups

At the heart of the G5427TG are its FT-5E Filter'Tron pickups, which deliver the punchy, articulate tone that Gretsch guitars are known for. These pickups provide tight bass, crisp highs and scooped mids for a balanced sound that's perfect for everything from rockabilly to jazz. The pickups are also highly feedback-resistant, allowing for higher gain without unwanted noise. A 3-way toggle switch lets you select the bridge pickup, neck pickup or both, giving you a wide tonal palette to explore.

Versatile Tone Controls for Any Style

The G5427TG features upgraded controls for precision sound shaping. A master volume control with a treble-bleed circuit retains high-end clarity even at lower volumes. Individual volume controls for each pickup allow you to fine-tune the balance between the neck and bridge pickups, while the master tone control provides additional tonal versatility. Whether you’re playing jangly rhythms or searing leads, this G5427TG offers the flexibility to craft the perfect tone.

Comfortable Neck and Premium Playability

The G5427TG is built for comfort and playability. Its classic C-shaped maple neck provides a smooth and familiar feel, while the laurel fingerboard with 22 medium-jumbo frets ensures effortless fretting and bending. The shorter 24.6" scale length makes chording and soloing easier, especially for players who prefer a slightly more compact playing experience.

Stunning Vintage-Inspired Appointments

The G5427TG doesn’t just sound great—it looks the part too. Vintage-style touches like a bound headstock, pearloid pickguard, open-back tuners and gold hardware give this guitar a retro aesthetic. The Bigsby B60 vibrato tailpiece allows for smooth, subtle pitch bends, adding even more character to your playing. Finished in Midnight Sapphire, this guitar is a visual masterpiece that will stand out on any stage or in any collection.

Gretsch's Instrument Limited Lifetime Warranty FMIC warrants your Gretsch brand instrument to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for as long as it is owned by the original retail purchaser, except that pickups, switches, jacks, controls, all other electronic components, tuning machines, hardware, pickguards, plated surfaces, gig bags, cases and case hardware are warranted for a period of one (2) years from the date of original purchase. This warranty applies only to the original retail purchaser when this instrument is purchased from an Authorized Gretsch Dealer and is subject to the limitations set forth herein.

IMPORTANT: PLEASE RETAIN YOUR ORIGINAL SALES RECEIPT AS IT IS YOUR PROOF OF PURCHASE VALIDATING THIS LIMITED WARRANTY.

FMIC has established a network of independent Authorized Service Centers for warranty service. The Gretsch Dealer from whom you purchased your instrument may also be authorized for warranty service and should be the first point of contact when service of any kind is required for your Gretsch instrument. To receive warranty service, return the complete instrument to an Authorized Service Center, with your sales receipt as proof of purchase, during the applicable warranty period. Defective components that qualify for coverage under this warranty will be repaired or replaced (at FMIC's discretion) without charge.
