Description
The G5422T takes Gretsch’s signature hollow-body voice and sharpens it for players who want vintage character without vintage fragility. Built from 5-ply maple with a slightly thinner hollow body, this double-cut delivers the airy resonance and pronounced chime that made Gretsch guitars a rock ‘n’ roll staple, while staying tight and articulate under drive.
Dual Blacktop Filter’Tron humbuckers anchor the tone, offering that classic Filter’Tron snap and clarity with a bit more output for modern stages. A 3-position toggle lets you split between bridge, neck, or both, and the upgraded control set includes independent volume for each pickup plus a master volume wired with a treble-bleed circuit, so your top end stays intact as you roll off.
The maple neck carries a comfortable “U” profile with a rosewood fingerboard, 12″ radius, and 22 medium jumbo frets, topped off with pearloid Neo-Classic thumbnail inlays and aged white binding. A Graph Tech NuBone nut and Adjusto-Matic bridge on a secured rosewood base keep tuning stable, while the Bigsby B60 vibrato tailpiece adds shimmer and pitch effects on demand.
Details that round out the vintage-meets-refined build:
- Oversized bound F-holes with aged multi-ply body binding
- Smaller late-’50s-style G6120 bound headstock
- Vintage-style open-back tuning machines
- Silver plexi pickguard with black Gretsch logo
- G-Arrow control knobs
- Orange Stain gloss finish over the hollow maple body
Whether you’re chasing rockabilly twang, jangly indie tones, or a fuller-bodied rhythm sound, the G5422T delivers genuine Gretsch attitude in a package built for gigging players.
