Blacktop Broad'Tron pickups give you classic Gretsch humbucker tone
When you want classic '50s-era archtop guitar tone, Sweetwater guitarists agree that you need real Gretsch humbuckers. That's why Gretsch gave the G5220 Electromatic Jet a pair of Blacktop Broad'Tron pickups. These humbuckers give you traditional Gretsch growl and grit, as well as deliver pristine clean tone when needed. In addition, individual pickup volume controls, master tone, and master volume with treble bleed circuit provide exceptional tonal range and control, putting you in the driver's seat as you explore your own style.
A neck cut for play
The G5220 features a mahogany neck cut to a thin U-profile that players love for its comfort and incredible response. The 22 medium jumbo frets are ideal for lead playing as well as forming chords up and down the neck. The laurel fingerboard features classic pearloid big block inlays that exude vintage Gretsch vibe and visuals. And with an anchored Adjusto-Matic bridge with V-Stoptail, you get great sustain from each and every note.
