Full Description

Belting Broad'Tron humbuckers

The Broad'Tron humbuckers loaded into this guitar blossom with rich, dynamic tone. Expect a strong, throaty voicing for your riffs, which will enable them to punch through any mix in style. From rock to country to blues, these pickups were designed to have a brilliant response to any genre and style of playing. They'll bring every aspect of your music to life. You can easily switch between them using the pickup selector, enabling you to bring out the best in your licks in every part of the song.

Classy chambered body

You'll be swanning around onstage with this lightweight guitar strapped to you. That's because it boasts a chambered mahogany body which reduces the mass of the guitar considerably. It also gives it a bit more resonance. A maple top adorns the body, providing a beautiful aesthetic and creating a bit more snap and midrange punch for a truly outstanding tone.

Pure playability

With a Thin 'U' neck at your disposal, you'll be able to play bends like there's no tomorrow. It's nice and smooth, giving you great manoeuvrability, whilst the laurel fretboard also feels super slick underneath your fingertips. You're guaranteed an unhindered performance with the Gretsch G5222 Electromatic in your hands.
