Description
What makes this guitar special: A slick hollow body for the price, this G5422T provides great tone and playability all-around. Its Filter’Tron pickups have a ton of tonal character with good low to mid body, classic upper midrange pluckiness, and top end chime that help to characterize the Gretsch sound. It has nice acoustic resonance that makes playing unamplified enjoyable as well, as it still has pretty good volume for its trim size. The neck plays super easy at length and the Bigsby adds extra dynamic to boot. Plus, it comes with a Gretsch hardshell case and a professional setup so it plays great from head to toe.
Condition: This guitar is in very good condition overall. It shows only minor dings and various light surface scratches but is otherwise in great shape for a used guitar. The frets show only light wear and still have a considerable amount of playing time left in them. The neck is straight and the truss rod functions as it should.
Body: Double cutaway double bound hollow body in Black finish. Raised silver plexi pickguard. Adjusto-matic bridge with rosewood bridge and Bigsby vibrato tailpiece. “G” arrow half-knurled chrome control knobs. Bound F-holes.
Neck: Slim to medium D shape neck and bound rosewood fingerboard with hump block inlays. Vintage-style open-gear tuning machines. 1 11/16” nut width. 24.75” scale length. .81” deep at the 1st fret and .92” deep at the 12th.
Electronics: Black Top Filter’Tron pickups. 1 x master volume, 2 x volume, 1 x tone control. 3-way pickup selector.
Weight: 6 lbs 14.5 oz
Playability/Sound: The neck plays very easy and should be a comfortable and familiar shape to most players. The Filter’Trons sound great across the board with great body, a plucky upper midrange, and solid top end chime.
Case: Includes Gretsch hardshell case.
