Gretsch is launching a double-cutaway version of the G5120

Scottsdale, AZ (April 17, 2008) – New from Gretsch, the Electromatic series now features a double cutaway hollow body model. The Electromatic G5122DC guitar is a double-cutaway version of the G5120.

The G5122DC features a laminated maple hollow body and neck with a bound rosewood fingerboard. It has Neo-Classic “Thumbnail” inlays, 22 frets and chrome-plated, vintage-style tuners and hardware. The G5122DC’s resonant tones come courtesy of twin dual-coil humbucking pickups, a Bigsby licensed B60 Vibrato Tailpiece and rosewood-based Adjusto-Matic bridge.
