Description
The G5222 Electromatic Double Jet BT takes the compact, punchy Jet body style and pairs it with the bigger, bolder voice of Gretsch’s Black Top Broad’Tron pickups. The result is a guitar that can snarl under heavy gain without losing the articulation and note separation that made the original Jets a studio favorite.
Underneath the finish, the body is chambered mahogany topped with maple — a combination that pushes forward a thick, present midrange while still leaving room for deep low end and airy top-end sparkle. It’s a tonal recipe built for guitarists who want weight and warmth without the mud.
Driving that body is a matched pair of Black Top Broad’Tron humbuckers. They’re built to take overdrive well past polite territory, staying tight and defined even when pushed hard, but they clean up beautifully too, retaining balance and clarity for those who split time between crunch and sparkle.
Control-wise, the Double Jet BT keeps things practical: independent volume knobs for each pickup, a master volume with treble-bleed circuit so your tone doesn’t dull as you roll back, and a master tone control for shaping the overall voice on the fly. Combined with the V-Stoptail, it’s a straightforward, road-ready setup for players who want quick tonal decisions without fuss.
