The Gretsch G5220 Electromatic Jet BT is an amazing electric guitar for its price. Model with Midnight Sapphire finish.
Gretsch is redefining standards in the electric guitar market with the Electromatic series. When you touch a G5220 you may think that it is an expensive model and out of your financial reach due to the solid construction, quality of finishes and sound power. The reality is that the Gretsch G5220 Electromatic Jet BT is a top-notch guitar at a surprising price and with the added bonus of having the flashy aesthetics that Gretsch has become accustomed to.
Just pick up the Gretsch G5220 and you'll realize that it's not a guitar for playing around. The solid body is in mahogany - which can be perfectly seen under the varnish on the back - and the front is covered with a maple cover, in this model painted in a beautiful Midnight Sapphire tone, under a silver plexi pickguard.
The fingerboard, resting on the neck also in mahogany, is in laurel with 22 medium jumbo frets and wide inlays in pearloid blocks, which contrast with the dark fingerboard tone. One of the details that makes the difference in the Gretsch G5220 is the V-shaped tailpiece on the body and another unusual thing: the strap supports already have strap locks, so you never risk dropping it.
Even in a more economical range, the quality of finishing on Gretsch instruments is impeccable, with every detail finely crafted, giving a feeling of luxury that was only thought to be available in models of much higher value.
The Gretsch G5220 Electromatic Jet BT asserts itself when plugged in. Its Black Top Broad'Tron pickups are the brand's dedicated humbuckers that produce a tone with great presence with a clean sound and an incredible response when subjected to high gains and overdrives.
Another peculiarity is that each pickup has an independent volume control, so you can adjust the combination between the two and a general volume control to have absolute power over your sound. The Gretsch G5220 also features an overall tone control and a very solid three-position selector switch.
The result is a guitar with incomparable sound power and incredible build quality for the price they ask for it. It's hard to find fault with the Gretsch G5220 Electromatic Jet, which is why it's one of the most sought after guitars by guitarists of all styles, for personal or professional use.
It's hard not to stand out with this guitar, even when you're not playing. And, when connected to the mains, it easily stands out due to its immersive and high-performance sound.
The Gretsch G5220 Electromatic Jet is a superior quality electric guitar at an affordable price. Have yours now.
