Gretsch and Bono join forces once again for a new signature guitar model bearing the special (RED) logo adorning the pickguard and truss rod cover to bring awareness of Bono’s support of Product Red and their humanitarian efforts in the battle against HIV/AIDS.The double-cutaway G5623 Electromatic Center-Block (RED) Bono Signature Model puts Bonos personalized stamp on Gretsch’s new thinline spruce center-block design, which delivers high gain-friendly tone and greater control over the kind of feedback players want.Other premium features include a bound arched maple top with bound sound holes, maple sides and arched back (also bound), maple neck, 22-fret bound rosewood fingerboard with Neo-Classic thumbnail inlays, dual Black Top FilterTron pickups with three-position toggle switching and master volume and tone controls, anchored Adjusto-Matic bridge with G-cutout tailpiece, Grover deluxe tuners, and chrome hardware. Includes deluxe thinline case.The (GRETSCH) RED guitar is a guitarist’ dream, said Bono, co-founder of (RED). And the reality is that every time someone buys one, it’ raising money to fight AIDS. That money can buy life-saving medicine for pregnant mothers living with HIV, and prevent their babies being born with the virus. They’e the same pills that will help deliver an AIDS Free Generation.Since it was founded by Bono and Bobby Shriver in 2006, (RED) has generated more than $275 million for the Global Fund to fight AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria, to support HIV/AIDS grants in Ghana, Kenya, Lesotho, Rwanda, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania and Zambia. Global Fund grants that (RED) supports have impacted more than 55 million people with prevention, treatment, counseling, HIV testing and care services.BodyBody shape: Double cutawayBody type: Semi-hollow or chambered bodyBody material: LaminatedTop wood: Maple LaminatedBody wood: Maple LaminatedBody finish: Gloss UrethaneOrientation: Right handedNeckNeck shape: Not specifiedNeck wood: MapleJoint: Set-inScale length: 24.6Truss rod: StandardNeck finish: Gloss UrethaneFretboardMaterial: EbonyRadius: 9.5Fret size: Medium jumboNumber of frets: 22Inlays: ThumbnailNut width: 1.687 (42.8mm)PickupsConfiguration: HHNeck: Black Top Filter’TronMiddle: Not applicableBridge: Black Top Filter’TronBrand: GretschActive or passive: PassiveSeries or parallel: SeriesPiezo: NoActive EQ: NoSpecial electronics: NoneControlsControl layout: Master volume, tonePickup switch: 3-wayCoil tap or split: NoKill switch: NoHardwareBridge type: FixedBridge design: Adjusto-maticTailpiece: TrapezeTuning machines: GroverColor: ChromeOtherNumber of strings: 6-stringSpecial features: Signature Guitars, Electric Guitars, Signature Model Electric Guitars Gretsch Guitars J16933 2519300879 Gretsch Guitars, Signature Model Electric Guitars |
