Rated 5 out of 5

Beautiful guitar, plays great, sounds better

I'm far from an expert, but I am slowly building a guitar collection. This Gretsch played great right out of the box, with a very quick action, easy playablility. I paired it with a Vypyr VIP 3, and the sound is great, at least for the blues/classic rock I'm interested in. My only other electric is a MIM Strat, so this is obviously quite a bit different, but I love it so far.

Highly impressed

I am really impressed with this guitar for the price point. It plays and sounds great out of the box. Intonation and action is good. The nut needs a slight filling but nothing major. Paint and binding is flawless. Nothing to complain about

To Gretsch or not to Gretsch

This is my second Gretsch in just as many months. Long story short, I am on the fence with this one and gave it the benefit of the doubt for four stars instead of three. First, it's a very attractive guitar and it's sound/tone is great. My biggest issue is that its play-ability is not as friendly as my other Gretsch. I find my hands being all over the place and muddying the notes. It's not as fast playing of an instruments and the strings require more deliberate and committed pressing of the strings. I am not 100% convinced this is my issues versus the design of the guitar and not a problem I've ever had in the past and since I don't experience any of this with my other Gretsch, I'm inclined to be more critical of this instrument. Again overall, these are my experiences and it is a nice instrument, but it's just not as fluid as I ultimately like.

Explore the timeless allure and exceptional sound quality of the G5422TG Electromatic Classic Hollow Body Double-Cut Bigsby Gold Hardware Electric Guitar in a vibrant Orange Stain finish. This instrument is a testament to Gretsch's commitment to producing guitars that embody the iconic '50s and '60s sound and style, while integrating modern design elements for enhanced playability and performance.

This next-step Gretsch guitar is constructed with a laminated maple body, featuring vintage-inspired perimeters and refined arches. The all-new trestle block bracing not only reduces unwanted feedback but also increases the rigidity and contact between the top and back of the body. This innovative design results in a sound that boasts a faster attack, more focus, snap, and an extended sustain.

The G5422TG Electromatic Classic Hollow Body Double-Cut is equipped with all-new FT-5E Filter'Tron pickups, delivering a voice that bursts with a full-bodied punch, classic chime, and enhanced presence. The clarity and note definition of this hollow build are truly remarkable, making it a standout choice for musicians seeking superior sound quality.

The guitar features an all-new Classic "C"-shaped maple neck, designed for a more comfortable playing feel. The neck is topped with a 12"-radius laurel fingerboard, contributing to the guitar's improved playability and performance. The G5422TG is alive and resonant, featuring a versatile upgraded control layout that includes a master volume with a treble bleed circuit, master tone, individual pickup volume controls, and a three-position pickup toggle switch.

Additional aesthetic and functional features include oversized bound F-holes, multi-ply body binding, a smaller late-'50s G6120 bound headstock, vintage-style open-back standard tuning machines, a Graph Tech NuBone nut, pearloid Hump Block inlays, a secured Adjusto-Matic bridge, and a Bigsby B60 vibrato tailpiece.

The G5422TG Electromatic Classic Hollow Body Double-Cut Bigsby Gold Hardware Electric Guitar is a resplendent instrument, available in standout Orange Stain, Snowcrest White, and Walnut Stain finishes. It is completed with a gold pickguard and gold hardware, embodying the sound of honor itself. Play proud with this Gretsch masterpiece.
