Scottsdale, AZ (October 24, 2013) — Gretsch is proud to welcome three additions to the popular Center-Block series, the Gretsch G5620T-CB Electromatic, G5655T-CB Electromatic, and G5622T-CB Electromatic guitars. The new models join three previously released guitars, launched in Jan. 2013, targeted at guitarists looking for an alternative instrument that combines the infamous Gretsch aesthetic, increased sustain and reduced feedback, even at high volumes.
Available in Black, Rosa Red, and Georgia Green gloss finishes, all models offer the “center-block advantage.” The interior solid spruce center block running the length of the guitar’s body makes for a lively “high gain-friendly” tone and delivers greater control over the kind of feedback players want. The three new dual coil Super HiLo’Tron™ pickups are voiced to produce a clean, high-end sparkle with robust low-end, low-noise performance, along with versatile pickup switching. Together with the “Black Top” Filter’Tron™ bridge pickup, it’s a potent tonal combination.
The single-cutaway G5620T-CB Electromatic Center-Block features a five-ply maple body construction with a bound arched top and back, bound “cat’s eye” sound holes and a bound maple neck. The G5620T-CB also has a 12.5”-radius rosewood fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and Neo-Classic™ “thumbnail” inlays, three-way pickup switching, single-ply black pickguard with Gretsch logo, five “G-arrow” control knobs (volume for each pickup, tone for each pickup, master volume), anchored Adjusto-Matic™ bridge and flat-handle Bigsby-licensed B70 vibrato, Grover® tuners and knurled strap retainer knobs.
From Cream City Music
This is the all new G5620T-CB Semi-hollow body guitar from Gretsch! The G5620T keeps with the tradition of the Electromatic series offering a great playing and sharp looking guitar with killer tone and an affordable price. Gretsch has had just a few semi-hollow models in the past but the new “center-block” series is their best effort yet. These are simply phenomenal guitars with classic Gretsch vibes and tone, but the addition of a “center-block” of spruce adds sustain and feedback rejection. The quality, fit & finish are outstanding with great fretwork and professional level setup. The “Black-Top” Filter’Tron bridge pickup is punchy and bright and handles gain and overdrive really well. The new Dual-Coil SUPER HiLo’Tron offers the warm woody tones of the classic “Hilo” single coil but with increased output and noiseless operation.
*Though not included from the factory we have hard cases for this model in stock and ready to ship along with your order. Please contact us for details regarding the cases we suggest for this instrument.
