Double Cut

Gretsch G5222 Electromatic BLK

Electric Guitar / HN244482

Description of product

Jet-type electric guitars, whether they are models from the basic Electromatic series or the higher Professional series, are united by the use of a solid body with one or two cutouts. These are very versatile instruments that can be used in a wide range of musical styles without any problems.

The Gretsch G5222 Black double-cut model is part of the Electromatic series. The guitar's chambered mahogany body is adorned with an arched maple top. Glued to the mahogany neck with a Thin U profile is a fig fingerboard fitted with twenty-two Medium Jumbo frets. Orientation on its surface is facilitated by offset position markers made of imitation mother-of-pearl (Neo-Classic Thumbnail).

Two Black Top Broad'Tron humbuckers give the guitar a full dynamic sound with good tone articulation and a slightly higher output signal than the Filter'Tron pickups offer, i.e. they are sonically a little closer to traditional humbuckers. Controls in the form of two volume potentiometers (for each humbucker separately), a tone diaphragm, overall instrument volume with Treble Bleed circuit (allowing you to pull down the Master Volume without accentuating the bass frequencies) and a three-position pickup switch offer comprehensive control over the character of the sound.

Strings are housed in the company's Die-Cast tuning machines, Adjusto-Matic adjustable tailpiece and Gretsch V Stoptail stringers. The instrument's stylish design is accentuated by traditional elements in the form of a bright body surround complemented by black and white lines, chrome hardware and a Gold Plexi pickguard with black Gretsch logo.
