GRETSCH G5700 Electromatic Lap Steel – OVERVIEW

The Gretsch G5700 Electromatic Lap Steel in Vintage White delivers unmistakable tone and striking vintage style. Built for expressive slide performance, this lap steel guitar combines classic design with smooth playability and bold sound.

First and foremost, the solid mahogany body provides rich resonance and sustain. Its sturdy slab construction feels solid under your hands while enhancing tonal depth. This foundation allows every note to sing with warmth and clarity.

The 22.5″ scale length gives players a comfortable reach across the neck. Meanwhile, the 28-fret plastic fingerboard adds a visual flair with unique position markers in the form of circles, triangles, squares, and diamonds. These bold shapes aren’t just eye-catching—they make it easy to navigate during performance.

At the core of its sound lies a chrome-covered single-coil bridge pickup. This pickup captures the signature voice of Hawaiian-style electric guitars with a bright, clear character. From mellow swells to biting leads, it responds beautifully to dynamic playing.

To shape your tone, the G5700 features master volume and master tone controls. The stylish G-arrow knobs provide smooth, precise adjustments. Whether you’re aiming for glassy cleans or punchier midrange tones, dialing in your sound is simple and intuitive.

Additionally, the string-through-body bar bridge with a chrome-plated cast zinc cover improves sustain and tuning stability. It anchors the strings solidly while enhancing the instrument’s sleek, Deco-inspired appearance. A silver plastic deco control plate completes the vintage aesthetic.

Furthermore, the standard open-gear tuners offer reliable tuning and smooth adjustments. Paired with the aluminum nut, they help ensure consistent performance across every gig or recording session.

In short, the Gretsch G5700 Electromatic Lap Steel in Vintage White combines timeless looks with classic lap steel tone. It’s ideal for players seeking soulful expression with modern reliability and authentic Gretsch flair.
