Gretsch G5222 Electromatic Double Jet BT with V-Stoptail – Black

The Gretsch G5222 Electromatic Double Jet BT with V-Stoptail captures the unmistakable character of a classic Jet while delivering the power, clarity, and reliability modern players demand. Finished in timeless Black, this sleek double-cutaway guitar combines vintage-inspired Gretsch styling with versatile performance that excels across rock, blues, indie, alternative, and classic rock genres.

At the heart of the G5222 is a chambered mahogany body with an arched maple top, creating a rich, resonant voice with enhanced sustain, punchy lows, and articulate highs. The lower-set mahogany neck provides exceptional upper-fret access, while the smooth 12" radius laurel fingerboard and 22 medium jumbo frets offer effortless playability for rhythm work, expressive bends, and fast lead lines.

Dual Black Top Broad'Tron humbuckers deliver powerful output with remarkable clarity, producing everything from sparkling cleans to thick overdriven tones without sacrificing note definition. Complete tonal control comes via individual pickup volume controls, a master tone control, and a master volume featuring a treble bleed circuit that preserves clarity when rolling back volume. The anchored Adjusto-Matic™ bridge and Gretsch V-Stoptail provide rock-solid tuning stability and impressive sustain.
