The body depth is around 2.75-inch, 11.625-inch upper bout, 16-inch lower bout and 9.625-inch waist. Weighing only 7lbs, this guitar isn’t much of a baggage, so you can focus on playing. The stability of this guitar is aided by the neck joint that extends to the 20th fret. It has a shorter scale length of only 24.6-inch, which is very easy to play with the glossy finish of the neck. You can see the beautiful rosewood fretboard with 12-inch radius, 22 medium jumbo frets and offset Perloid thumbnail inlays. And, the single-cutaway makes it easy for me to access the upper frets without any problem, even for fast play.

It has 43mm width at the nut and 20mm depth at the first fret. Other options include the eye-catching Orange Stain and the flashy Fairlane Blue.Īside from the nostalgic color finishes of this guitar, I am much drawn into it for its neck. It’s a gorgeous instrument especially with its glossy finish and striking colors. This is a hollowbody electric guitar with a five-ply laminate Maple top, neck, back, and sides. As a modern guitar that features old-school looks and craftsmanship, I find the Gretsch G5420T quite entertaining. The black bound white pickguard has a 60s era silver metal E logo.Chet Atkins and George Harrison were some legendary musicians who fell in love with the classic design of the Gretsch guitars. The neck has a 24.75” scale, a 1.68” nut, and a Pau Ferro fingerboard with Pearloid 'Parallelogram' inlays.

The Mahogany neck has a SlimTaper™ “D” profile and is glued to the body at the 16th fret.

The top, back, and fingerboard have single-ply ivory binding. The Casino body is made from 5-ply Maple with basswood top bracing. Since 1961, the look and sound of the Casino has gone virtually unchanged and is still made today as a fully hollowbody archtop, now with powerful new Dogear P-90T Classic™ pickups.
