About This Listing

Chambered Double-cut with Broad'Tron Pickups


The Gretsch Electromatic G5222 Jet BT Double-Cut with "V" Stoptail electric guitar is the perfect way to get your hands on a real Gretsch for a great price. The G5222 Jet offers you the full, warm sound of a chambered mahogany body with a maple top. A pair of Broad'Tron pickups lets you tap into the definitive tone of Gretsch's signature humbucker sound. And a mahogany neck with laurel fingerboard also brings you the familiar Gretsch feel and playability. Finally, a "V" Stoptail bridge provides a vintage look as well as great support for staying in tune. 


Superb tonewood pairing

The G5222 Electromatic Jet electric guitar represents the timeless Gretsch tone by not shying away from a chambered mahogany body. It may not be the lightest tonewood around, but it is known for its rich, deep tone. A time-tested maple top also adds to the vintage tone of this guitar. The all-mahogany neck with laurel fingerboard is the proverbial icing on the cake as this combination is known for its delicious tone.


Blacktop Broad'Tron pickups give you classic Gretsch humbucker tone

When you want a '50s-era Gretsch guitar tone, you need real Gretsch humbuckers. That's why Gretsch gave the G5222 Electromatic Jet a pair of Blacktop Broad'Tron pickups. These humbuckers give you traditional Gretsch growl and grit, as well as deliver pristine clean tone when needed. In addition, individual pickup volume controls, master tone, and master volume with treble bleed circuit provide exceptional tonal range and control, putting you in the driver's seat as you explore your own style.
