Gretsch Electromatic G5235T Gold Sparkle 2007 Electric Guitar

This is a Gretsch Electromatic G5235T Electric Guitar in Gold Sparkle finish. Made in China in 2007, this guitar consists of a Mahogany body, a Mahogany neck, and a 22-fret Rosewood fingerboard. Other appointments include vintage style tuners, a replacement trapeze tailpiece, a Tune-o-Matic bridge, and a set of Gretsch Mini Humbuckers. These pickups are wired to a master volume, master tone, and a three-way pickup selector.

The profile of this guitar resembles a ‘C’ profile giving the guitar a great middle ground between a chunky and thin neck profile making it perfect for chordal and lead players alike, as it caters comfortability for both playing styles. The Medium Jumbo frets enhance bends and vibrato techniques, making them easier to play with the 12” radius still giving enough comfortability for chordal fretting.

The mini-humbuckers have a punchy sound with plenty of brightness and high end presence. Due to the biting tone it is great for styles like rock or blue, cutting through with leads, however they can handle almost any style you throw at them thanks to the volume and tone controls allowing you to really personalise the tone. The neck pickup offers a slightly darker and thicker tone compared to the brighter bridge pickup which still offers plenty of warmth to each note.
