Yes, they have made a few nice tweaks since the original design. The Filtertron pickups are filled with epoxy for longer life and reduction in microphonic noise.
Seiji Igusa compared his Gretsch White Falcon to Ibanez and a few others with other humbuckers. Those pickups (Seymour Duncan? Not Filtertrons) sparkle. I’m sold on a Gretsch. But the White Falcon is way out of my budget. 😅
Gretsch makes great guitars , even in a lower price range like this Electromatic , super !! Never understood people who buy expensive Gibsons for example ; well I understand it so far because there is ' Gibson ' on the headstock. Excelent guitars but much , much to expensive . This is a very good sounding all round guitar worth every dollar ! And then you haven't heard the high end Gretsch guitars even jet ........they are incredible. Well done sir ! 👍
@@stockvideos5070 Well , some musicians think when they play good all other things (equipment) doesn'n matter ; with that thought you under estimate the importance of a good sound . Other musicians think that if they buy the same guitar like a famous guitar player and the same amp that they gonna play for a great deal like that guitar player : also a wrong thought. Use your ears and feeling and your mind when buying stuff and take into account what your level of playing is .
I can’t stop looking at the Guitar. The shape and sunburst is so gorgeous.
Yes, I love this classic sunburst. They also make an orange tint one that I find very nice.
Nice demonstration. The pickups are surprisingly clear and bright for being a form of humbuckers.

With a decent guitar like this one, it is more about the player than the guitar. So... I need to keep practicing.

Great to Freight Train. Thanks for this video 👍
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
Nice one. Looks pretty new for 6 years plus previous owner.
Thanks, I cleaned the dust off with a damp cloth before the video. I'm glad somebody noticed. Thanks for checking out the video!
What model please?
It is the Gretsch Electromatic G5420T.
Hi, I miss my Gretsch so much, broke my neck in '96, had kids to feed. It was the best rhythm guitar i ever had. Enjoy my friend, you are a lucky man.
Thanks. I don't plan on selling it anytime soon.
