Are you a fan of Bono’s guitar tone? You can now emulate that at home with the Gretsch G5623 Electromatic Bono Signature guitar.
Bono and Gretsch
Bono and Gretsch guitars have joined forces to bring you a special hollow body guitar with great tone and an unmistakable attitude.
The guitar has the (RED) logo on the headstock truss rod cover. This has been done to raise awareness of Bono’s support of Product Red and their humanitarian efforts in the battle against HIV/AIDS. The (RED) logo can also be found on the pickguard of the guitar.
Bono is known for making political statements in his music. It is only fitting that his signature guitar should be more than just an instrument.
Gretsch G5623 Electromatic Bono Signature
The Gretsch G5623 Electromatic Bono Signature is based on the new thinline spruce center-block design models.
The first thing you’ll notice is how good this guitar looks, the distinctive red and white colors are sure to be noticed. This is the type of instrument that will grab your audience’s attention before you strum your first chord.
While the guitar looks great, it sounds even better! Gretsch guitars are loved by jazz players, rockers and rockabilly players alike. If your dream tone is something raw, expressive, and not too high gain, then a hollow body guitar would definitely be your ideal guitar.
Something that sets the Gretsch G5623 Electromatic Bono Signature apart from other hollow-body guitars is that it is “high-gain friendly”. This guitar offers players more control over the kind of feedback that players want.
