Gretsch G5246T Double Cut Bigsby in Silver Sparkle Pre-owned

Add some classic Gretsch shimmer to your collection with this stunning G5246T Electromatic, finished in eye-catching Silver Sparkle with a contrasting walnut-stained back and sides. This pre-owned example is in very good condition, showing only light play wear and slight hardware tarnish—purely cosmetic and visible in the photos. Fully functional, well-maintained, and ready to play.

With its arched laminated maple top and mahogany body, this Electromatic delivers the chime, bite, and warmth the series is known for. The mahogany neck paired with a rosewood fingerboard and classic Neo-Classic “Thumbnail” inlays offers smooth playability and unmistakable Gretsch style.

Powered by a pair of Gretsch Mini Humbuckers, the G5246T dishes out crisp cleans, punchy mids, and vintage-flavored growl. The 3-way toggle gives quick access to bridge, neck, or combined tones, while master volume and master tone controls let you dial in the perfect sound. And of course, no Gretsch would be complete without a Bigsby—this model features a Bigsby-licensed B50 vibrato tailpiece, ideal for subtle shimmer and expressive bends.

Visually, the guitar boasts elegant touches like a white pearloid pickguard, G-Arrow control knobs, vintage-style tuners, and bound top. It’s a standout instrument that blends flair, playability, and classic Electromatic tone.
