About Gretsch G5222

Over the years, Gretsch has become synonymous with stylish and reliable instruments that stand the test of time, and the G5222 Electromatic Double Jet BT with V-Stoptail Electric Guitar is no exception. This high-quality guitar embodies the true essence of the Jet series, enhanced with the might of Broad'Tron pickups, making it an innovative choice for guitarists seeking a blend of classic and contemporary tones.

This tonal balance is ideal for a wide range of musical styles, ensuring that each note rings out with clarity and precision.

At the core of this guitar's sonic prowess are the all-new Black Top Broad'Tron pickups. These pickups are meticulously designed to drive the chambered body through thick, aggressive overdrive without sacrificing definition. Whether you're dialing in a crunchy rhythm or a searing lead, these pickups maintain a remarkable note balance that's equally suited for crystal-clear clean tones.

The G5222 Electromatic Double Jet BT is also equipped with versatile controls that put the full spectrum of sound at your fingertips. Individual pickup volume controls allow you to blend the bridge and neck pickups to your taste, while the master tone and master volume with treble bleed circuit offer global adjustments to fine-tune your sound. This intuitive control layout makes it easy to switch from a biting lead to a warm rhythm tone on the fly.

Finished in a sophisticated London Gray, the guitar's laurel fingerboard and sleek double-cutaway body shape not only provide a comfortable playing experience but also ensure that this instrument stands out on stage and in the studio. The Tune-o-matic bridge and Floyd Rose V-Stoptail tailpiece further contribute to the guitar's exceptional playability and tuning stability.

For guitarists who demand a distinctive design, top-notch performance, and a brand with a legacy of durability, the Gretsch G5222 Electromatic Double Jet BT with V-Stoptail Electric Guitar is a prime choice.
