Gretsch G5220 Electromatic Jet BT Single-Cut with V-Stoptail, Laurel FB, Olive Metallic

The G5220 Electromatic® Jet™ BT Single-Cut with V-Stoptail delivers the true Jet™ essence with enhanced power and tonal clarity. A chambered mahogany body with a maple top provides rich resonance and balanced articulation, delivering strong lows, focused mids, and brilliant highs.

At the core of this Jet's sound are dual Black Top Broad'Tron™ humbuckers, engineered to offer aggressive overdrive punch without sacrificing clean articulation and note definition. Combined with versatile control options—including individual pickup volume knobs, a master tone, and a master volume with a treble bleed circuit—this guitar offers broad tonal flexibility for any playing style.

Modern features meet vintage charm with details like a bound headstock, Big Block inlays, and a classic V-Stoptail bridge design. Whether you're pushing amps into saturation or dialing in shimmering cleans, the G5220 Jet BT keeps your tone articulate and dynamic.
