When you walk out on stage holding a Bigsby-bridge G5422T with a double-cut body for easy high-fret access, the audience will know you're there to rock.

What's special about this item?

Feature:	What it does:
Fully hollow body	Single tone chamber, resonant and alive sound
U-shaped neck profile	Boat neck with very woody tone and feel
Bigsby vibrato tailpiece	Classic top-mount vibrato adds resonant mass
Black Top Filter'Tron pickups	Tight, bright and focused vintage tone

Overview

Sleek yet aggressive, the G5422T has a thinner, fully hollow build with a true Filter'Tron voice that captures the resonant hollow-body sound with a more present and chiming voice. Like all Electromatic guitars, it delivers the fearless and electrifying authenticity that has set Gretsch apart as the quintessential rock 'n' roll guitars from the very beginning. It's the sound of honor itself -- play proud.

Premium features include:

- Dual Black Top Filter'Tron humbucking pickups
- Versatile upgraded controls including master volume treble bleed circuit
- Oversized bound F-holes and aged multi-ply body binding
- Smaller late-'50s G6120 bound headstock

Just received my Gretsch 5422 today from Sweetwater. The quality of this guitar is fantastic! The neck plays like butter! I've had China made guitars before but this Korean made is right up there with my Gibson. The fit & finish is excellent! No flaws in the finish or the binding either. Best money I've spent on a guitar ever! Love the tonal range from a clean tone to a dirty growl. I kick myself for not buying this guitar sooner!
