Electric Guitar Gretsch G5222 Electromatic Jet BT Natural
The brand new Gretsch G5222 Electromatic® Jet ™ BT guitar delivers the power of Broad'Tron ™ pickups with the classic clarity of the Jet models. At the heart of each of these Electromatic BTs, there is a mahogany body with chamber and top on maple, which produces rich midrange, powerful bass and sparkling treble.
Gretsch once again revolutionizes the market with a classic look and modern sound: the G5222 Electromatic Jet BT Natural electric guitar.
The Gretsch G5222 Electromatic Jet BT Natural is an electric guitar that combines the unmistakable character of the Jet series with the power and sonic definition of Broad'Tron pickups, in an instrument designed for guitarists who demand presence, clarity, and versatility.
Its classic look, with an aged natural finish and elegant shine, highlights the beauty of the wood and conveys the feeling of playing an instrument that exudes tradition and quality.
The internally chambered mahogany body and arched maple top offer a rich and balanced tonal foundation. The dense, expressive midrange combines with full lows and sparkling highs, creating a sound that responds dynamically to both full-bodied chords and incisive solos. The body chambers not only reduce weight, making the guitar more comfortable for long sessions, but also enhance natural resonance, giving more life and sustain to each note.
The pair of Black Top Broad'Tron humbucker pickups accurately capture the entire frequency range, maintaining impressive definition even in distorted and dense sounds. When clean, they deliver a crystal-clear and articulate tone, with that signature Gretsch touch so many guitarists seek.
Independent volume controls for each pickup, combined with the master volume and tone, give you the freedom to shape the sound with detail, while the treble circuit preserves clarity when you turn the volume down. The three-position selector allows you to quickly switch between more cutting tones, balanced blends, or velvety, full sounds.
The mahogany neck with a Thin U profile and a laurel fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets ensures comfortable and fast playing, whether for chords or fast melodic passages. The pearloid Neo-Classic inlays add the brand's distinctive visual flair. The anchored Adjusto-Matic bridge and V-shaped tailpiece ensure tuning stability and precision adjustment, while the glossy finish on the body and neck reinforces the instrument's premium appearance.
Gretsch has built its reputation on creating guitars that mark musical history, and the Electromatic series brings this heritage to an affordable level without compromising the sonic and aesthetic essence that defines it. The G5222 Jet BT Natural is perfect for those seeking a versatile instrument with power for the stage, subtlety for the studio, and a style that never goes unnoticed.
