Overview

Throwback style and sound at an unbeatable price.

The Grestch G5227T Electromatic Double Jet BT with Bigsby has classic style and sound at an unbeatable price. The chambered mahogany body has an arched maple top, producing full lows and mids with a well-defined yet smooth high end. All told, it's a strong and balanced acoustic foundation.

Powering the Double Jet BT is a pair of Black Top Broad’Trons. Rock them clean and pristine, or crank up the gain for more growl. Individual volume and tone controls give plenty of sonic room to wrangle. A treble bleed circuit keeps the highs up even as you dial down the volume.

Your hands will easily conform to the thin U-shape profile of the mahogany neck. The laurel fretboard has pearloid neo-classic thumbnail inlays, a unique touch that pairs nicely with the aged white body binding.

Proving that no Gretsch is truly complete without a Bigbsy, the Double JT BT sports a B50 in die-cast aluminum. Use it for subtle surf-style vibrato, or rip it wild for rockabilly rave-ups. Either way, you're going to enjoy the ride.
