gretsch

Duane Eddy was a prolific studio and live musician who, in the late 1950s and early 1960s, had a string of hit records including "Rebel-'Rouser", "Peter Gunn", and "Because They're Young". When Gretsch created their G6120DE Duane Eddy signature model, they set out to preserve as much of the feel and style of Eddy's original 1957 G6120 archtop as possible. They started by giving the G6120DE Duane Eddy a 3-piece maple neck with the exact profile (and headstock) as Eddy's prized G6120. Along with a bound rosewood fingerboard, this unique neck profile gives you an incredibly smooth feel and delightfully fast action. The 3-ply maple body features include twin DynaSonic single-coil pickups, Tru-Arc "rocking" bar bridge, lacquer finish, and trestle bracing.. just like Duane's! Original Gretsch branded hardshell case included.

The Electromatic G5420T hollowbody 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 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 Gretsch G5420T also features a versatile upgraded control layout including master volume with treble bleed circuit, master tone, individual pickup volume controls and three-position pickup toggle switch. Other design improvements on the G5420T include oversized bound F-holes, multi-ply body binding, late-'50s bound headstock, vintage-style open-back tuning machines, Graph Tech nut, pearloid thumbnail inlays, secured Adjusto-Matic bridge and a Bigsby B60 vibrato tailpiece.
