Gretsch G5622T Electromatic Center Block Double-Cut with Bigsby, Laurel Fingerboard, Cadillac Green

Description

The G5622T Electromatic is a classic Gretsch-styled hollow-body guitar that is in a class of its own. It delivers a sparkling and shimmering tone that everyone will recognize, even with their back to the guitar. When amplified, the G5622T produces a balanced sound thanks to its Black Top Broad’Tron humbuckers, while a weight-relieved center block gives the guitar greater resistance to feedback—even at very high volumes. Playability is at its finest with a Thin “U” neck profile, and its Bigsby B70 vibrato allows you to produce the tonal textures and sustain you would expect from a Gretsch guitar.

Maple is one of the most vibrant, bright, and present tonewoods you can use on an electric guitar, which is why Gretsch has decided to make its G5622T Electromatic almost exclusively from this wonderful wood. This semi-hollowbody’s 5-ply laminated body provides a wonderfully snappy, open tone that, combined with the balanced tone of the Broad’Tron pickups, allows the G5622T Electromatic to cut through a dense mix and sound fantastic in any situation.

The Gretsch G5622T Electromatic is built with a solid center block. The center block runs the full length of the body, allowing the otherwise hollow body to resist feedback. This weight-relieved center block lets you play with higher gain without the guitar squealing and howling.

Nothing beats the character and vintage feel that a genuine Bigsby vibrato adds to the Gretsch G5622T Electromatic. The Bigsby B-70 vibrato is based on the original design created by Paul A. Bigsby in 1951, and it is easy to use for creating the slow and subtle vibrato effects that only a Bigsby vibrato can produce. And a Bigsby vibrato doesn’t just sound good—it also looks good. The B70’s robust construction ensures that you will be able to create subtle vibrato textures for years to come.
