Here for sale we have a Gretsch G5422TG Electromatic Hollow Body electric guitar in Walnut finish. Made in Korea in 2017, this Limited Edition set-neck constructed guitar features a Laminated Maple body, Maple neck, and 22 Medium Jumbo fret Rosewood fingerboard. This guitar is fitted with a Graph Tech NuBone nut and Gold finished hardware including a Bigsby B60 tailpiece, Adjusto-Matic bridge with Rosewood base and Vintage-Style Open-Back machine heads. The pickups installed are a pair of Black Top Filter’Tron, these are wired to a 3-way selector,master volume, master tone, neck volume and a bridge volume.
The Gloss finished Standard "U" neck profile feels smooth and comfortable in the hand offering a neck which is slim enough to provide practicality for speedy lead lines. The Rosewood fingerboard provides a smooth surface under the fingers, whilst the 12" radius strikes a perfect balance between comfortable chord playing and technical playing. Medium Jumbo frets offer the player the best of both worlds; being great for vibrato and string bending techniques whilst also retaining an authentic vintage feel. The Double-Cutaway design also gives the player extended reach into the upper register of the 22 frets making this guitar an effective instrument for a range of genres and styles.
The Black Top Filter’Tron pickups produce a variety of tones, sounding excellent on clean and slightly overdriven settings, highly suitable for jazz, blues, country or even rock genres. The neck pickup delivers a deep, warm tone that offers clear and rounded notes. The bridge pickup gives the player a more jangly and trebly tone that provides a punchy high-mid range, however the blending of the pickups gives the best of both worlds in the middle position. The hollow body resonates well, with the Laminated Maple top generating a snappy and responsive feel without losing the depth of the bass and punchy mid tones.
