Excellent and good value

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.

My first Gretsch and I love it!

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.

Fantastic guitar!

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 Worthwhile Instrument for Novices and Beyond

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!

Gretsch G5220 Great Guitar, Nice Finishing

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!

It's not just a guitar, it's a statement of style and sound. The G5220 Electromatic Jet BT Single-Cut V-Stoptail Electric Guitar, finished in a striking Firestick Red, is a testament to Gretsch's commitment to crafting instruments that resonate with musicians seeking both aesthetic appeal and sonic excellence. This model, renowned for its stylish design and reliable performance, offers a high-quality playing experience that's as versatile as it is durable.

At the core of the G5220's rich, resonant tone is its chambered mahogany body, paired with a maple top that not only adds to the guitar's visual allure but also enhances its sonic footprint. The result is a full-bodied sound with a present mid-range that beautifully complements the robust lows and sparkling highs. This tonal balance makes the guitar an ideal choice for a wide range of musical genres and playing styles.

Equipped with the all-new Black Top Broad'Tron pickups, this Electromatic Jet BT model delivers a powerhouse of sound. Whether you're dialing in a thick, aggressive overdrive or seeking the clarity and definition needed for pristine clean tones, these pickups ensure that every note is articulated with precision. The dynamic range offered by these pickups is a key reason why many players might choose this guitar over alternatives.

The G5220's versatile controls further refine your sound-shaping capabilities. Individual pickup volume controls allow for precise blending of the pickups' outputs, while the master tone and master volume with treble bleed circuit provide comprehensive control over your overall sound. This intuitive control layout ensures that you can easily adjust your tone on the fly, making it a breeze to transition from rhythm to lead or to adapt your sound to different musical contexts.

With its high-quality construction, versatile sound, and eye-catching Firestick Red finish, it's an instrument that stands out in both performance and appearance. Whether on stage or in the studio, this guitar is sure to inspire and impress.
