Great fast service Adorama. Got a killer deal on a beautiful instrument. Always wanted a Gretsch. Has the tone. Had it set up and still doesn't want to stay in tune...dooh ! Well it plays like a dream, just needs some graphite on the nut, or better open tuners. It is a keeper. The single coils sing with crisp mid range I really was impressed with. Not a pickup with much reputation. I recommend, if you like P 90s in a jazz hollowbody, you'll appreciate these. Well assembled and a couple of finish flaws around the multiple bindings. Most would miss that, I just can overlook that. It is a striking color. Love the creme pick guard and pick up rings. Now I have to brush up on some Bufallo Springfield songs.

Sweet Gretsch Semi Hollowbody

Excellent guitar! It was exactly was I was looking for in the classic sound and looks.
Adorama's price could not be beat anywhere. The service was instant, and they kept me informed where my package was.
 I will shop at Adorama again!
Thank you!

Excellent item at a price that couldnt be beat anywhere!

My first non solid body electric guitar.  Clearly more resonant.  I don't play country, but it has a wonderful mellow voice for blues.  Big in the body (but light!), which takes some getting used to, and the controls are different.  The master volume control is a great feature.  Once you use it, you wonder why all guitars don't have one.  The body and the Bigsby do give it a unique sound, but also adaptable for different kinds of music. A lot of musical options.

My first hollow body

Great feeling guitar right out of the box. Nice snappy pickups. The Bigsby is a lot of fun and I can't complain about the price.

Great guitar

Excellent guitar. Authentic Gretsch sound, great hardware, no flaws whatsoever. Great price.

Excellent guitar

I had a REAL Gretsch in the 60’s. It was Orange and is almost identical to this guitar. They’ve done a great job in trying to replicate the original guitar. Great quality, playability, and tone. I have a slight hiss that disappears when you touch the strings. May need a warranty checkup. For me Green is the new Orange. Thanks Adorama. ??

Georgia Green Gretsch (Korean Made)

I was finished with guitar acquisition for 2019 when the deal for the Gretsch 5622T popped up. The deal was too good to pass up so I grabbed one. Boy, am I glad I did! 

The guitar arrived within days of my purchase in a factory sealed carton. From the factory to my hands, ready to play! Perfect setup, intonation, nut height (a true rarity), frets, pickup adjustment, flawless paint  and just a hint of neck relief - as it should be!

I actually look forward to receiving new guitars and giving them a full setup but this guitar needing nothing out of the box. I like my action low with no buzzing. The action is nice and low and I could drop it a little more If I wanted to. 

You'll see a lot of folks wanting to upgrade the Electromatics straight out of the box - there is no need! I own several proline Gretsch guitars and I would put this guitar up against any of them; it's that good. Looking for a high quality guitar that doesn't break the bank? Look no further than the Gretsch 5622T! Enough talking, watch the demo video!

That Great Gretsch Sound Lives On!

Incredible guitar,  high quality, but get it professionally set up as it does not hold tune well (pro setup will fix that though)

Great bang for the Buck

Needed a fret level and a new nut, but still a fantastic fiddle!

Love it!

Love it! Build and sound quality is great especially for the price. The mint green is gorgeous!

Great value guitar

Great guitar!  I had to return the first one for a replacement but the process was smooth and without issue.  Would buy again.  Sounds and plays fantastic.

Great Guitar

Strings are buzzing. Guitar is great other than that. Love the color and sound when the strings aren’t buzzing

Great deal, bad string buzz

Perfect.  Received it a day earlier than promised, with excellent communication and tracking.  Beautiful guitar; exactly what I wanted.  Thanks Adorama (and thanks to my wife).

Perfect transaction.

Fantastic!

I got this as a gift for my husband - he LOVES it. It is gorgeous, it has a lovely understated metallic to it. And it sounds amazing, so bright and crisp. I don't play, but I love listening to it and highly recommend.

Beautiful & Love To Listen To It

Did not have to change a thing. Set up was perfect

Great purchase

Great deal on a classic guitar.   Adorama is the best at prices, selection and fast/free shipping.   Three thumbs up!

Great deal on a wonderful guitar!

This is a beautiful guitar. Light, stylish and plays well. It was delivered quickly and in perfect condition.

Love this guitar!

I bought two of these, one in Vintage Orange and one in Georgia Green.  The orange guitar intonation was spot on.  The action on it was a little high for my taste, so I lowered it to 1/16 on the treble side  with 3/32 on the bass side at the twelfth fret.  I lowered the bass string a couple of thousands at the nut, and tuned it up.....no buzzes or fret outs.  Using the Bigsby tended to pull the guitar out of tune, until I lubed the nut with some graphite from a pencil.  The Bigsby would work better with a roller bridge, the roller bridge is on the way.  The Vintage orange color is very nice, the pictures are not even close to the actual appearance.  The wood grain shows through, enhancing the Vintage look.  The fretwork is very good, no rough ends.  The only things needed as far as set up was a little fret board oil.  The fretboard dried up some during storage.  The two I got are the older models with the rosewood fretboard and the Super Hilo’tron pickups.  I prefer them over the blacktop humbuckers offered in the latest model, and the laurel fretboard offered now.  The Georgia Green one is going back to Adorama to be replaced, the neck has a very noticeable hump at the 15 fret.  It had buzzing and fretting out on the treble side right out of the box.  The action was noted on the setup card as being set at 1.5 mm, but it was higher than that on the Georgia Green model.....the icing on the cake was the price on these....449.00 for these guitars is a steal.  Black Friday, Cyber Monday. Kudos to Adorama for making the exchange easy on the guitar with problems.  On a final note, expect to replace the strings right out of the box.  A good guitar setup and intonation adjustments needs a new set of strings.....the proper set up uses the word train....for the steps.... Tune.   Relief Adjustment.  Intonate.     Noodle !

Real Gem ,  great looker , great playing guitar !

This G5622T brings to the player much of what made Gretsch such a recognizable guitar to the music world. Unique looks, creamy tone, and versatility, all at an affordable price point. There were some small things that needed to be addressed, truss rod and action adjustments, but nothing big. I’m satisfied with the purchase and glad I made it.

Proud to own it!

Very high quality regardless of the price point. Playability and set-up were great right out of the box. This is a discontinued version which has the HiloTron pick up. They are very articulate. Too bad Gretsch is phasing them out. Fretwork is outstanding and the nut is well cut. Bigsby works as it's supposed to. This is my second Electromatic in 2 months. Highly recommended by a guy who's been playing for over 40 years!

High quality at a fair price

Looks amazing with a classic sound.

The nut needed some work and the pickups needed an adjustment, but all in all an amazing guitar.

Classic Gretsch sound, good for any genre

What a Beautiful Guitar. plays and sounds great.

Beautiful

The guitar arrived well-packed. The Georgia Green is gorgeous and I can't stop looking at it. Needed a basic set-up but plays beautifully. The Super Hilotrons aren't the highest output but are bright and crunch up nicely. It took a few days of stretching out the strings for the Bigsby to keep tune. Don't expect to do insane divebombs with it; it's meant for a moderate vibrato and tasteful warbles, which it does perfectly.

Pros: 
- beautiful finish
- smooth clean tone that distorts nicely w/ some overdrive
- frets are smooth without any overhang
- electronics seem solid

Cons:
- Tough to easily find a case that fits this guitar without doing a bit of research
- It dropped in price a week after I purchased it! However it's worth every penny.

Beautiful guitar!

Fantastic guitar. It was perfectly set up out of the box with a beautiful finish. The only small (1/2 star) deduction would be that it's a little neck heavy, but a strap with decent friction fixes that.

Beautiful looking, playing, and sounding instrument!

The pickups on this Gretsch sound great, The action is very nice and the guitar is just fun to play. For the price, I don't think you will find anything better. It's a quality guitar for the money.

Excellent value for a quality guitar

First Gretsch I've purchased and it came absolutely perfect. Looks great and plays great. Inspected the guitar in detail and very pleased. Great job and I really enjoy playing it. The feel of the guitar is quality and just feels solid in hand.

Really like everything about this guitar. Shows in the detail. Won't be my only one.

Received fast and double boxed in great shape.  I have a couple of other Gretsch guitars from Adorama but this one is by far my favorite.  Construction quality is excellent, the color is great, and the neck pickup has a great sound, which is unusual in my experience.

Best Gretsch of several I own

Guitar is beautiful. Had a hard time getting the proper case. Really should have been included.

Currently have warranty issue with electronics. Bridge electronics are not working. Suspect switch.

Warranty

The guitar was well packaged and plays well out of the box.
