Item Description
This jaw dropping instrument has been hand signed for Guitars in the Classroom by noneother than the legendary blues artist, Joe Bonamasa. To know Joe's music is to love it- and him! When he was still in short pants, Bonamassa was already stunning listeners. At only 12 years old, he got his professional start opening for B.B. King.
Donated by our awesome sponsors, the Guitar Center Inc. Charity Team, we are blessed to be able to share it with the lucky winner! We are very touched that Joe Bonamassa personally cares about GITC and wants to see our charitable work succeed so other youngsters get the chance to excel through music.
Gretsch Guitars G5420T Electromatic Hollowbody Electric Guitar White Gold Hardware
When the Gretsch R&D team recently unearthed a Baldwin-era Filter'Tron pickup with knockout punch and phenomenal twang, they incorporated its DNA into dynamic new "Black Top" Filter'Tron pickups, which now endow Electromatic hollow-body instruments such as the G5420T with an electrifying new voice and identity.
The G5420T Electromatic Hollow Body is a sharp new Gretsch guitar with a bound single-cutaway hollow body featuring sound-post bracing and elegant bound f holes. Other features include a maple neck, bound rosewood fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and hump-block pearloid inlays, gold plexi pickguard, three-position pickup switch, classic "G" arrow control knobs, rosewood-based Adjusto-Matic bridge and Bigsby-licensed B60 vibrato tailpiece, vintage-style open-back tuners and gold-plated hardware.
