The Gretsch G5220 Electromatic Jet BT Single-Cut with V-Stoptail is where classic Jet DNA meets modern muscle. Built for players who want that unmistakable Gretsch voice -- the snap, the growl, the effortless cool -- without compromise. From sparkling cleans to thick, aggressive overdrive, this guitar handles it all with the kind of tonal authority that turns heads at any gig.

A Body That Speaks Volumes

At the core of the G5220 is a chambered mahogany body with maple top -- a combination that produces a rich, present midrange while accentuating big lows and shimmering highs. The chambering keeps the guitar light and resonant, giving it an acoustic liveliness that translates directly into your tone. This is not just a solid body -- it sings.

Black Top Broad'Tron Pickups

The dual Black Top Broad'Tron pickups are the engine of this guitar. Wider and more powerful than standard humbuckers, they push the chambered mahogany body with thick, aggressive overdrive while maintaining astounding definition and note balance. Clean tones are full and articulate. Driven tones are bold and harmonically rich. The Broad'Tron does not choose between clarity and power -- it delivers both.

Total Tonal Control

The G5220 is wired for intuitive control. Individual pickup volume knobs let you blend your pickups exactly how you want, while the master tone and master volume with treble bleed circuit ensure your tone stays clear and present even as you roll back the volume. No muddiness, no compromise -- just your sound, dialed in.

Built and Appointed to Impress

The lower-set mahogany neck provides effortless access up the fretboard, while the 12-inch radius laurel fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets makes bending and lead work feel natural. Upgraded appointments throughout -- bound headstock, plain-face head cap, vintage-inspired purfling, Big Block inlays, and closed-back tuning keys -- give the G5220 a premium look that punches well above its price point. The V-Stoptail and Anchored Adjusto-Matic bridge lock in tuning stability and intonation.
