Guitar Parts For Gretsch G5120 G5420T Style Guitar Pickguard (4 Ply Red Tortoise)

Product Information

At the heart of each Electromatic Jet BT is a chambered mahogany body with maple top that produces a rich, present mid-range that accentuates big lows and shimmering highs. Out of the box, it was pretty much ready to play and only needed a minor action adjustment as well as a string change. But if you’re reading this, you will most likely use this guitar for more nuanced and jazzy textural tones, and if that’s the case, the G5422TG Electromatic delivers the tonal goods with smooth response and a soft shimmer, which is the primary reason many players (including yours truly) gravitate toward a Gretsch for these deeply satisfying tones. Specs

While the design of these guitars looks pretty similar at first, they do feel quite different. The first thing I notice between these two is that the Epiphone is quite a bit heavier, which is all just a matter of personal preference. The chambered body on the G5220 make is extra light, while the Les Paul is a true solidbody build. The medium jumbo frets make note bends a breeze, and the 24.75” scale length makes nailing those big stretches quite easy as well. Playability is no issue on the G5220 Electromatic. We all know the Les Paul is one of the most iconic guitars of all time. In recent years the quality we’re seeing from Epiphone has been a huge step up, so they’ve become one of my favorite guitars to recommend to folks.

Finally, this model comes in Orange Stain, Snowcrest White (a left-handed version is available only in this color) and Walnut Stain finish. Performance

The Epiphone Les Paul Standard might take the win in the hardware department. Between the upgraded Grover tuners, and the high-quality CTS parts, it has a few upgrades that would serve the G5220 well. Both feature an adjust-o-matic style bridge and tailpiece.

Trusted Shops There was a time not long ago when I’d point to an Electromatic as an affordable alternative to its Gretsch counter-part, but now, I can no longer in good faith do that, because this G5422TG Electromatic is so spot-on in its overall build and tone that if you’ve ever toyed with the idea of a having a Gretsch in your arsenal, now might be the time to grab one. The Gretsch brand has been around since 1883, when Friedrich Gretsch started building a variety of instruments including banjos, drums, and tambourines. They really made a name for themselves in the guitar market in the 1950’s when they worked with famous country guitarist Chet Atkins, and created their now classic 6120 hollow body model. In the mid 60’s George Harrison of Beatles fame became known for playing Gretsch guitars, which really made them a household name and boosted their success even further.We’re big fans of this G5220 for a lot of reasons. The main reason being that it just feels so much different than other solidbody guitars in this price range. Since Gretsch introduced the Electromatic series, they’ve been consistently releasing killer guitars at a reasonable price. Design
