General

This deluxe edition of the Electromatic G5422TG features unmistakable Gretsch sound and detailing, from the Classic Hollowbody DC body shape and the bound, fifties-throwback G6120 headstock, to the oversized F-holes, gilded hardware, and Gold Plexi pickguard complete with black logo. Your fret-hand is treated to the effortless comfort of a C-profile neck and familiar 12 inch fretboard radius, while the laminated maple body is supported by in-house-developed trestle block bracing: a construction first devised in the fifties to ensure efficient feedback reduction, enhanced resonant sustain and sweet acoustic twang.

The Gretsch G5422TG: FT-5E Filter’Tron Pickups, a GraphTech NuBone Nut & Bigsby B60 Vibrato Tailpiece

Classic Gretsch tone is supplied by a pair of FT-5E Filter’Tron pickups, supported by a versatile control layout complete with a master volume pot with a treble-bleed circuit to prevent loss of clarity and sparkle when the volume is pulled back. So, you're assured of full and versatile sound that never gets muddy. Optimal tuning stability is assured by a Graph Tech NuBone nut, a set of Vintage-Style open-gear machine heads, an Adjusto-Matic bridge, and just to truly polish it all off: a Bigsby B60 Vibrato tailpiece.

Heel fijne prachtige gitaar 28 June 2023

Wrote the following about Gretsch G5422TG Electromatic Classic Hollowbody DC Snowcrest White Semi-Acoustic Guitar

Bespeelt heel comfortabel. Pickups zijn top. Klein minpuntje, de kabeljack zat een beetje los waardoor er wat storing op het signaal kwam, gekraak en zo. Even aangespannen met een moersleutel 12 en opgelost. Kortom fijne gitaar die zijn geld echt waard is.

Gretsch Introduces the Vintage Select and Player Editions

Friday 29 January 2016

Gretsch fans can roughly be divided into two groups. On the one hand you have the purists who think the specifications from the 1950s and 1960s - the Gretsch heydays - are beyond dispute. On the other hand, you have the more practically minded guitarists who like to make modifications to their instruments. Luckily, both camps are being catered to with Gretsch's new series: the Vintage Select Editions and the Players Editions. Go for a modern classic like the G6118T-SGR or travel back in time to 1962 with the Gretsch G6119T-62GE!
