Gretsch G5220 Electromatic® Jet™ BT

Gretsch G5220 Electromatic® Jet™ BT Single-Cut with V-Stoptail

The Gretsch Jet has been turning heads since the 1950s, and the G5220 Electromatic Jet BT proves the formula is as potent as ever. Built around a chambered mahogany body and loaded with all-new Black Top Broad’Tron pickups, this guitar delivers the kind of bold, articulate tone that works just as well for snarling overdrive as it does for sparkling clean arpeggios — all wrapped in the unmistakable single-cut Jet silhouette.

Key Features:

• Black Top Broad’Tron™ Humbuckers — An all-new pickup design that pushes through thick, aggressive drive without losing definition or note balance, while remaining clean and refined when you need it
• Chambered Mahogany Body with Maple Top — The chambered construction produces a rich, present midrange with full lows and shimmering highs, giving the Jet its signature resonant character and natural sustain
• V-Stoptail — Provides reliable string anchoring and excellent intonation while contributing to the guitar’s clear, defined attack
• Master Volume with Treble Bleed Circuit — Keeps your high-end clarity intact as you roll back the volume, so your tone stays consistent from full blast to bedroom levels
• Individual Pickup Volume Controls and Master Tone — Intuitive, flexible control over your sound with a layout that rewards both quick adjustments and nuanced dialing
