If you already play, you already know why this one is worth your attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eClassic Gretsch Character From Top to Bottom\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe G5700 is built around a solid mahogany slab body that gives it real resonance and sustain. The chrome covered single coil pickup captures that warm, glassy lap steel tone that has defined everything from Hawaiian music to country to blues slide playing for decades. Master volume and master tone controls keep things simple and intuitive, and the string through body bar bridge with chrome plated cast zinc cover adds a touch of vintage elegance that fits the instrument perfectly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 28 fret plastic fingerboard features four distinct position markers in circle, triangle, square, and diamond shapes, which is a practical and visually interesting touch that makes navigation easy whether you are a beginner or a seasoned player. The G arrow control knobs and standard open gear tuning machines round out a guitar that feels considered and complete.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Tobacco finish on this model has a warm, vintage character that photographs beautifully and looks even better in person.
