Chambered Single-cut with Broad'Tron Pickups

The Gretsch Electromatic G5220 Jet BT Single-Cut with "V" Stoptail electric guitar is the perfect way to get your hands on a real Gretsch for a great price. The G5220 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 classic humbucker sound. And a mahogany neck with laurel fretboard also brings you that classic Gretsch feel and playability. Finally, a classic "V" Stoptail bridge provides a vintage look as well as great support for staying in tune. Gretsch guitar lovers here at Sweetwater are big fans of the value-packed Gretsch G5220 Electromatic Jet BT.

Classic tonewood pairing

The G5220 Electromatic Jet electric guitar delivers classic Gretsch tone by not shying away from a chambered mahogany body. It may not be the lightest tonewood around, but it is one of the truly classic woods 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 classic '50s-era Gretsch guitar tone, you need real Gretsch humbuckers. That's why Gretsch gave the G5220 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.

Gretsch G5220 Electromatic Jet BT Electric Guitar Features:

Classic Gretsch stylings at a great price
Pair of Blacktop Broad'Tron pickups provides classic Gretsch sound
Chambered mahogany body and laminate maple top add bright overtones to the classic Jet body style
Thin "U"-style neck for instant playability and feel
Anchored Adjusto-Matic bridge with V-Stoptail provides great sustain for each and every note
Classic pearloid big block inlays exude vintage Gretsch vibe and visuals

Think i owe u tootsie rolls by now...great service you guys !!! Keep it up and God Bless...

We are a fairly serious musical family (classical mostly) and are just now moving into more electrified realms. We bought this guitar for my daughter, who's been playing acoustic for awhile but wanted to add to her collection. She loves it. It is very playable, stays in tune nicely, and has a good tone. It's a LOT of guitar for the money--and it's beautiful too.

Picked this up on the Black Friday sale.
The guitar is beautiful and the fit and finish are amazing.
Only thing I had to do was raise the neck pick up a touch, but thats personal preference. It came in tune and sounding great right out of the box.
Running this through a Catalyst 60 has provided nonstop playing fun. It's just a great feeling axe all around. Some of the best feeling pots I have used. Subtle changes are easily appreciated.
Awesome job from Gretsch and Sweetwater!

My Daily guitar is a 2017 Gibson Firebird Studio T.
I haven't touched my Firebird since I purchased this Guitar 6 weeks ago.
This Guitar loves AC/DC and a Marshall amp. I am soo Impressed with the sound,
Feels great in your lap, Plays Drop D tuning well. I do not have anything bad to say about this Guitar

I had been eyeing this beautiful guitar for awhile, much to my surprise, my wife bought it for me for Christmas from Sweetwater. I am completely impressed! Of all the guitars I own, including my Tele, Strat and LP, this is by far the best sounding and playing guitar I have ever played!
It arrived from Sweetwater in perfect condition (she ordered the Gretsch case also, which it was nicely shipped in)
I can't put it down! I am in love!
