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!

Overflowing with authentic Jet essence, the G5220LH Electromatic Jet BT Single-Cut V-Stoptail Left-Handed Electric Guitar, with a Laurel Fingerboard in Jade Gray Metallic, delivers Broad'Tron power harmoniously blended with classic Jet clarity. This guitar is more than just an instrument; it's a testament to superior craftsmanship and design.
At the core of each Electromatic Jet BT, you'll find a meticulously chambered mahogany body paired with a maple top. This combination yields a rich, resonant mid-range that beautifully highlights deep lows and sparkling highs. This unique construction ensures a full-bodied sound that's both warm and vibrant.
The G5220LH Electromatic Jet BT doesn't stop at superior construction. It's also equipped with a pair of all-new Black Top Broad'Tron pickups. These pickups power the chambered mahogany body, delivering thick, aggressive overdrive while maintaining remarkable definition and note balance. Whether you're aiming for the most pristine clean tone or a more gritty sound, this guitar delivers with precision and clarity.
In terms of control, the Electromatic Jet BT is second to none. It's outfitted with versatile controls that put you in the driver's seat of your sound. With individual pickup volume controls, master tone, and master volume with a treble bleed circuit, you have intuitive global control over your pickup and tone settings. This left-handed electric guitar is not just an instrument, but a tool for expressing your musical creativity with unparalleled control and quality.
