Loud and ferocious, the Gretsch® G5191BK Tim Armstrong Electromatic® Hollow Body bears the personal stamp of Rancid founder and punk godfather Armstrong. Huge tone resonates from deep within its bound single-cutaway hollow body, which features parallel tone bar bracing with sound post and bound f holes. The one-piece maple neck has a white graphite nut and bound rosewood fingerboard with acrylic block inlays. Other features include dual “Black Top” Filter’Tron™ pickups with gold-plated bezels, three-position pickup switch, gold-plated hardware, bound headstock with pearloid Gretsch inlay and Armstrong’s signature on the truss rod cover, Grover® tuners, Adjusto-Matic™ bridge, harp tailpiece and ominous flat black finish. Left-handed model also available.
