Description
This is the all new G5622T-CB Semi-hollow body guitar from Gretsch! The G5622T-CB keeps with the tradition of the Electromatic series offering a great playing and sharp looking guitar with killer tone and an affordable price. Gretsch has had just a few semi-hollow models in the past but the new “center-block” series is their best effort yet. These are simply phenomenal guitars with classic Gretsch vibes and tone but the addition of a “center-block” of spruce adds sustain and feedback rejection. The quality, fit & finish are outstanding with great fretwork and professional level setup. The new Dual-Coil SUPER HiLo'Tron pickups offer the classic tones of the “Hilo’Tron” single coil but with increased output and noiseless operation.
*Though not included from the factory we have hard cases for this model in stock and ready to ship along with your order. Please contact us for details regarding the cases we suggest for this instrument.

The double-cutaway G5622T-CB Electromatic® Center-Block Electric Guitar features That Great Gretsch Sound™ with the "center-block advantage." The interior solid spruce center block running the length of the guitar’s 1 ¾"-deep thinline-style body makes for a lively "high gain-friendly" tone and delivers greater control over the kind of feedback players want. The three new dual-coil Super HiLo’Tron™ pickups are voiced to produce a clean, high-end sparkle with robust low-end, low-noise performance, along with versatile pickup switching.
Other premium features include five-ply maple body construction with a bound arched top and back, bound "cat's eye" sound holes and a bound maple neck. The G5622T-CB also has a 12.5”-radius rosewood fingerboard with 21 medium jumbo frets and Neo-Classic™ "thumbnail" inlays, three-way neck/bridge pickup switching with two-way auxiliary switching (middle pickup on/off), single-ply black pickguard with Gretsch logo, five "G-arrow" control knobs (volume for each pickup, master tone for bridge and middle pickups, master volume), anchored Adjusto-Matic™ bridge and flat-handle Bigsby®-licensed B70 vibrato, Grover® tuners and knurled strap retainer knobs. Available in Black, Rosa Red and Georgia Green gloss finishes.
