The G5222 Electromatic® Double Jet™ BT with V-Stoptail brings powerful tone and timeless style together in one sleek package. With a double-cutaway chambered mahogany body and arched maple top, it delivers rich low-end punch, balanced mids, and shimmering highs—all while maintaining the clarity and articulation expected from a true Jet™.
A pair of Black Top Broad'Tron™ humbuckers push this guitar with thick, aggressive tone perfect for overdrive, yet clean up beautifully with pristine note separation. The versatile control layout, including individual pickup volumes, master tone, and master volume with treble bleed circuit, offers flexible tone shaping on the fly.
From its anchored Adjusto-Matic™ bridge and V-Stoptail to the sleek black pickguard and pearloid Neo-Classic™ inlays, the G5222 balances modern performance with iconic Gretsch style.
