Within 10 minutes of receiving the guitar I came up with 3 killer ideas for songs that I can’t wait to write.
Beyond that it feels like a more expensive guitar and sounds and plays great.
I was originally going to spend $3500 more but I’m glad I saved my money.
I’m extremely stoked on this guitar.

In 2014 when I bought my professional series double anniversary the fit and finish of the similar electromatic model was worlds apart! Fast Forward to today and this made in Korea G5420TG Ltd Edition in Cadillac Green is a dream. The only difference between this and my double anniversary is the fretboard (ebony vs rosewood), bracing (59 trestle bracing vs sound-post), and top (three-ply vs 5-ply). I prefer ebony fingerboards and my double anniversary controls feedback better and resonates more but those are the only differences. This guitar is a steal at this price point! Grab one you won't be disappointed! Fit, finish, and action were great straight out of the box! Thanks to L&M for their professional service as always!

If there is a fire in the house, which guitar would you pick ? That's what my wife asked
I have a godin 5th avenue, a gibson les paul standard, a fender jazzmaster 60's and this gretsch G5420Tg
My wife and i went to L & m just to look at guitar pedals.. so she saw this guitar on the wall and said ( you should have this !!! )
She doesn't play guitars... doesn't care much, but for the first time, she really liked the look of this one.
So i tried at the store, loved.. but left for her to decide, since it was getting close to xmas 😁
She bought it !!!!!!
When i plugged in with the pedals.. just a bit of delay and reverb.. using the bridge pick up.. i went to heaven.
This guitar made me play all different kind of songs.. changed what i though of guitars in general.
I always liked the look of these guitars, but never thought i would like them so much
So yes.. if there is a fire i would pick this one...
But i put all the guitars on the house insurance just in case 😄

Just bought this Gretsch today. Been admiring it on L&M website for a while.
I couldn’t put it down, love the action, so smooth, the neck seems a bit smaller as in thickness. Sounds beautiful.
Loved the way my strap connects to it too, no more slipped straps.
L&M went very helpful in finding me a case for it that wasn’t $200.
Only negative is I wish Gretsch would include a diagram or manual for what switch does what. But, I got it on iTunes anyways, so not a problem really.
Thank you L&M for another great visit!!

It looks good, it sounds good, and is very nice to play. I have owned it for almost three years now, and it's the only electric guitar I've played since i acquired it.

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
