Excellent guitar out of the box. The black face pickups are keepers for sure. I picked it up during a 50% off sale and can't be e happier.

The Gretsch G5220 Electromatic Jet BT is absolutely gorgeous in person-pictures really don't do it justice. The finish and overall design are just stunning. After getting it set up by a professional, it plays like a dream, and I couldn't be happier with how smooth and comfortable it feels. The tone is something special, too. It has a unique sound that's rich, clear, and full of character. I love the way it handles everything from crisp highs to deep, punchy lows-it just sounds great no matter what I'm playing. If you're looking for a guitar that looks and sounds amazing, this one's definitely worth checking out.

I had my eye on this model for a while and when I saw it on sale, I decided to order one. It was nearly perfect out of the box, but the neck pickup wasn't working. A quick trip to my guitar tech and it was an easy fix. I did swap the stock tuners, which are very cheap, with a quality set of Grover tuners and it is now an incredible instrument. The pickups sound great dirty or clean and the neck feels great and plays very comfortably. I would not hesitate to recommend this guitar to anyone from a beginner to a professional. Can't beat it for the price. The firestick red color is even more beautiful in person and it has a slightly orangey copper tint to it. Very nice looking guitar.

The G5220 is a wonderful instrument for the asking price. I'd highly recommend this model to anyone looking to get into the world of Gretsch guitars for the first time or even those with some past experience with the brand. Out of the box, it's a quality instrument and it's easy enough to work with should you decide to modify any of the individual aspects to your liking. I'm a huge fan of the "firestick red" finish which straddles the line between red and orange - looks sharp!

Guitar finish is beautiful, more of an orange/red than red. The mahogany parts have a deep color and high gloss, highlighting the grain and figuring of the mahogany. The frets are finished very well with no sharp edges as with many foreign made guitars. A set-up is required as the pickup height was too low, I will follow-up with new strings, intonation adjustment, and balancing the pickups. It's a great guitar, especially at the reduced price that was offered at that time. I have bought two of these, if that better shares my opinion of it!

Amazing guitar. Looks and plays like a 2000$ guitar. It's my first electric guitar and I must say it's a no brainer!

A fusion of classic aesthetics and modern performance, the G5220 Electromatic Jet BT Single-Cut V-Stoptail Electric Guitar stands out as a stylish and high-quality instrument tailored for the discerning musician. With its sleek gloss black finish and robust mahogany body, this guitar not only exudes a professional appearance but also delivers a sound that is both rich and articulate.
The heart of this versatile electric guitar lies in its chambered mahogany body, complemented by a maple top, which together produce a resonant mid-range that perfectly balances pronounced lows with sparkling highs. This design not only enhances the guitar's natural acoustic properties but also contributes to its lightweight and comfortable feel, making it ideal for extended playing sessions.
Equipped with the all-new Black Top Broad'Tron pickups, the G5220 Electromatic Jet BT Single-Cut provides a dynamic range of tones. From thick, aggressive overdrive that maintains clarity and note definition to the most pristine clean sounds, these pickups are engineered to capture the true essence of the instrument's sonic capabilities.
The guitar's laurel fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets offers a smooth playing experience, allowing for effortless bending and fast lead playing. The fingerboard, adorned with elegant pearloid Neo-Classic thumbnail inlays, adds a touch of class to this already stunning instrument.
To ensure that players have complete control over their sound, the G5220 Electromatic Jet BT features versatile controls, including individual pickup volume knobs, a master tone control, and a master volume with a treble bleed circuit. This intuitive layout allows for precise adjustments, ensuring that the guitar's voice can be tailored to any musical context, from the studio to the stage.
The V-Stoptail bridge, combined with the die-cast tuning machines, provides stable tuning and intonation, ensuring that the guitar stays in tune through the most vigorous performances. The G5220 Electromatic Jet BT Single-Cut V-Stoptail Electric Guitar is a testament to Gretsch's commitment to crafting instruments that meet the needs of today's players while honoring the legacy of classic guitar design.
