We should say from the off that our experiences of the Gretsch Electromatic range over the years have been rather mixed. Instead of us being able to regard it as a genuine alternative to the more expensive Professional Collection Gretsches, the examples we’ve played haven’t always impressed. Happily that’s all changed – this G5120 is a genuinely wonderful guitar that possess the just right vibe, feel and look – even though this version of the Western orange stain is a tad on the red side to our eyes.
