Overview

Crafted with essential Gretsch sound, style and playability

No nonsense, Electromatic hollowbody guitars are the perfect real, pure and powerful Gretsch instruments. They’re your next-step Gretsch—bold, dynamic and articulate, and crafted with essential Gretsch sound, style and playability. 

Sleek yet aggressive, the G5422T has a thinner, fully hollow build with a true Filter’Tron voice that captures the resonant hollowbody sound with a more present and chiming voice. Like all Electromatic guitars, it delivers the fearless and electrifying authenticity that has set Gretsch apart as the quintessential rock ‘n’ roll guitars from the very beginning. Case sold separately.

Premium features include:
* Exclusive Amber Stain finish
* Dual “Black Top” Filter’tron humbucking pickups
* Versatile upgraded controls including master volume treble-bleed circuit
* Oversized bound F holes and aged multi-ply body
* Smaller late-’50s G6120 bound headstock
* Graph Tech NuBone nut 
* Pearloid Neo-Classic “thumbnail” fingerboard inlays
* Bigsby B60 vibrato tailpiece
