Classic Gretsch Tone and Attitude

The Gretsch G5622T Electromatic Center Block semi-hollowbody electric guitar provides you with a wide range of tones fit for any genre. With a laminated maple body, this guitar produces a bright and resonant tone that's perfect for playing live and in the studio. Thanks to the guitar's center block, this axe can handle high levels of gain and produces tons of sustain. This axe comes loaded with two high-output Gretsch Broad'Tron pickups that pump out powerful mids, buttery lows, and crystalline highs. If you're like us at Sweetwater and like thin necks, you'll love the comfortable Thin U-shaped neck on this guitar. The Gretsch G5622T Electromatic Center Block Semi-hollowbody lets you capture all the Gretsch sound without all the feedback.

Hot Broad'Tron pickups and classic controls

The Gretsch G5622T pumps out more tone than you'd expect, courtesy of two Black Top Broad'Tron pickups. These humbucking pickups were designed to create a hot signal with thick, powerful mids and exceptionally clear highs. These pickups are the perfect combination of raw power and shimmering cleans. You can explore the power of the Broad'Tron pickups via the master tone, master volume, and individual pickup volume controls.

Semi-hollowbody construction resists feedback

With the Gretsch G5622T, you'll get tons of sustain without the feedback of hollowbody guitars. Thanks to the full-length center block, this guitar resists resonant frequency feedback. This allows you to dial up the gain without making your amp squeal. As an added bonus, the bridge and tailpiece are screwed directly into the center block in order to increase sustain and note clarity.

Superb vibrato tailpiece

For those who love mellow vibrato, you'll adore the Bigsby B70 vibrato tailpiece that's installed on the Gretsch G5622T. You can use this tremolo system to create smooth dipped chords and accented bends. The character and vintage vibe of the Bigsby doesn't just sound great, it looks great too. The rugged construction of the vibrato ensures that you'll be able to create subtle vibratos for years to come.

Gretsch G5622T Electromatic Center Block Semi-hollowbody Electric Guitar Features:

  • 2 Broad'Tron pickups pump out hot, powerful tones
  • Laminated maple body construction provides a snappy, bright attack
  • Laurel fingerboard adds warmth to the tone
  • Neo-classic thumbnail inlays add to the classic Gretsch look
  • Bigsby B70 tailpiece lets you perform smooth bends

Beautiful guitar with great tone!

This guitar is a beauty! I wish they made the same model with gold hardware! I purchased an Electomatic 12 string with walnut finish about a month before I ordered this instrument. The tone from the pickups on that 12 string made me pick up this 6 string. I had Sweetwater change the strings to light gauge GHS boomers and adjust the truss rod for the lighter strings. They did an excellent job. I do a lot of string bending when playing leads and have noticed that I have to retune after about 20 minutes of playing. Still, I love the tone of my two Gretsch guitars. Can't believe I waited so long to get these instruments in my arsenal. If you've never played anything but Fender, Gibson, or Hagstrom... try Gretsch. You will love the tone!

Rated 5/5

Exceptional guitar

I have never played on a semi-hollow guitar but all I can say is that it is addicting. Overall the guitar sounds great and the pickups are amazing. I was a little worried about the tremolo affecting the tuning of the guitar but so far it has kept in tune. It is not American made, but for the price, the quality is still there and the sound is very nice,...great articulation.
