The neck feels really nice, and the guitar is nice to play in general.

The build quality is good. The f-holes look nice from the outside, but look slightly jagged from the inside, and the white paint seems a bit yellowish in certain spots - these issues are not really noticeable for anyone other than the person playing the guitar, so it's not a big deal.

The pickups are great. The cleans sound lovely, I'm finding it to be a great guitar for jangley/post-punk stuff. They sound suprisingly good distorted as well, they work great for metalcore stuff (though you might need to play around with a gate and an EQ to tame eventual hum/feedback). Other than cleans, I had the best results with light fuzz; you can get notes to feed back in a very natural and controlled way, and it sounds great.

I'm really liking the acoustic resonance of this guitar. I recorded the unplugged sound of the guitar with a mic pointing to the body, and used that recording as an "acoustic guitar" in a full mix with other instruments, and it's really convincing.

The body is also not as thick as I thought, which is nice; it's really comfortable to play. One thing to note is that the back of the guitar is also slightly contoured (there's an "archtop" on the back too), which I wasn't expecting, but it might make things more ergonomic.

The single cut is a bit more pronounced than I was expecting, certainly more compared to a Les Paul. I'm finding it a bit troublesome to reach the highest 3-4 frets - I might get used to it over time.

The tuning stability seems alright. I've only had this for a week or so, so the strings might still need to set in, but I'm finding that it goes slightly sharp between each session. However, I'm not having issues while playing, which is great. I only use the Bigsby lightly.

Phantastisch
Arne Wessel 21.09.2022
Sie ist in natura noch viel schöner als auf den Bildern (und die sind schon gut).
Ein wahres Schätzchen kam da bei mir an. Bespielbarkeit und Sound sind ein Träumchen und die Verarbeitung makellos.
Ich besaß früher eine 68er Gretsch Tennessean, eine 6119 Tennessee Rose und eine 6120 aus Japan (beide aus den 1990er Jahren. (Die Gitarren kosteten damals ein vielfaches der Electromatic)
Die 5420t steht denen in nichts nach.
Viel Gretsch für den Preis...mehr geht nicht.
Ich bin mehr als zufrieden, da meine Erwartungen weit übertroffen wurden.
Phantastisch!

Kam toll eingestellt an, sehr gut spielbar, typischer Sound
OJJe 05.04.2022
Die Saitenlage auf meiner 80er Strat ist schon top. Allerdings mit der gerade glücklich erworbenen Gretsch in der Hand bin ich nicht sicher, ob deren Spielbarkeit die der Strat nicht noch übertrifft. Klar, wesentlich verschiedener als die alte Freundin und der neue Freund können E-Gitarren wahrscheinlich nicht sein. Kein Vergleich also, könnte man meinen. Mir egal. Nutze die Instrumente ausnahmslos für Recordings und da zählt Spielbarkeit und Sound. Der satte, bauchige und zugleich auch nasale Klang einer Gretsch Hollow Body hat mich fasziniert. Habe leider vergessen, welches Modell ein Bandkollege aus den 90er Jahren immer spielte. Jedenfalls: Meine neue G5420T Electromatic WS klingt genauso. Und ja, schön aussehen tut sie natürlich auch.
