Gretsch G5420LH Electromatic Left Hand Orange

Lefties want to Rockabilly too!

The G5420LH Electromatic Classic Hollow Body Single-Cut features a laminated maple body with vintage-inspired perimeters and refined arches, as well as all-new trestle block bracing to help reduce unwanted feedback. By increasing rigidity and contact between the top and back of the body, the new trestle block design also results in the sound having a faster attack with more focus, snap and increased sustain.

Coupled with all-new FT-5E Filter'Tron pickups, this hollow build's voice explodes with huge full-bodied punch, classic chime and enhanced presence, clarity and note definition.

An all-new Classic "C"-shaped maple neck offers a more comfortable playing feel for improved playability and performance and is topped with a 12"-radius laurel fingerboard.

Alive and resonant, the G5420LH also features a versatile control layout including master volume with treble bleed circuit, master tone, individual pickup volume controls and three-position pickup toggle switch.

Other features include: oversized bound F-holes, multi-ply body binding, smaller late-'50s G6120 bound headstock, vintage-style open-back tuning machines, Graph Tech NuBone nut, pearloid Neo-Classic thumbnail inlays, secured Adjusto-Matic bridge and a Gretsch G-cutout tailpiece.

This resplendent instrument comes in a standout Orange Stain finish, complete with silver pickguard and nickel hardware.
