Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Gretsch's G5220 Electromatic Jet BT combines a chambered mahogany body, maple top, and single-cutaway shape with a 24.6-inch scale and 22-fret laurel fingerboard. Its two Broad'Tron humbuckers are controlled individually, so you can set a balance between pickups before using the master controls. The master-volume treble-bleed circuit is designed to retain high frequencies as volume comes down. A fixed Adjusto-matic bridge, synthetic bone nut, and die-cast tuners complete the hardware package.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Blending the two Broad'Tron pickups with separate volume controls before setting the overall output level.
- Lead parts using the bridge pickup and rhythm work using the neck pickup.
- Reducing the master volume while retaining the high-frequency content addressed by the treble-bleed circuit.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Buyers expecting a case or gig bag with the guitar; both are sold separately.
