Classic Gretsch Style
The Gretsch G5230T is crafted with a chambered mahogany body and an arched maple top, offering a perfect blend of warmth and clarity. The Gold Sparkle finish, combined with chrome hardware and a Gold plexi pickguard, gives it a bold and eye-catching look that stands out on any stage.
Versatile Sound
Equipped with FT-5E humbuckers, the G5230T delivers a dynamic tonal range with clarity and punch. The combination of individual volume controls, a master tone, and a master volume with treble bleed allows you to shape your sound with precision, maintaining crisp highs and full-bodied lows.
Smooth Playability
The lower set thin U-shaped mahogany neck offers effortless access to higher frets, ensuring smooth transitions across the fretboard. The 12-inch radius laurel fingerboard, featuring Neo-Classic inlays, provides a comfortable and responsive playing experience for a variety of styles.
Expressive Performance
The Bigsby B50 vibrato tailpiece adds expressive pitch control, allowing subtle vibrato effects and dynamic bends. Paired with the anchored Adjusto-Matic bridge, it ensures tuning stability and reliable intonation, making it a dependable choice for live performances and recording sessions.
