Bought this new at the second to last “In Person” Sweetwater GearFest (I believe around 2018). Plays great just need to thin the herd for 2025. This color combo of orange and gold was very specific to Sweetwater only.
Gretsch uncovered a set of Baldwin-era Filter’Tron pickups with incredible punch and twang — perfect for the G5420TG Electromatic Single-cut. They reverse engineered those special pickups to create the set of “Black Top” Filter’Tron humbucking pickups that you’ll find loaded in this G5420TG. With their robust character and trademark cut, Black Top Filter’Trons keep you ready for everything from rockabilly and country to blues and classic rock. The Gretsch G5420TG even makes a legit jazz box.
