Description
Taking bits and pieces of several of Gretsch’s most popular models, the G5623 Electromatic Bono Signature Semi-Hollowbody celebrates the rich tradition of Gretsch guitars while honoring the altruistic nature of rock legend Bono. Built with an arched laminated maple top and back and laminated maple sides, it also features a center-block, giving players the benefit of improved sustain and less feedback while still providing the classic hollow/semi-hollow tonality. It is equipped with two “Black Top” FilterTronTM pickups, harkening back to the ‘60s and ‘70s with clean, full-bodied tone and warm vintage vibe. Complete with Neo-Classic Thumbnail fret markers, an anchored Adjust-O-Matic bridge, and G cutout tailpiece, this benevolent guitar will benefit you as much as it does the beneficiaries of Product Red.
**This guitar includes a pro series hardshell case**
Details (from Gretschguitars.com):
Gretsch and Bono join forces once again for a new signature guitar model bearing the special (RED) logo adorn on the pickguard and truss rod cover to bring awareness of Bono’s support of Product Red and their humanitarian efforts in the battle against HIV/AIDS.
The double-cutaway G5623 Electromatic® Center-Block (RED) Bono “Signature” Model puts Bono’s personalized stamp on Gretsch’s new thinline spruce center-block design, which delivers “high gain-friendly” tone and greater control over the kind of feedback players want.
