Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Gretsch’s right-handed G5232T Electromatic Double Jet FT pairs a chambered mahogany body and arched maple top with two Black Top Filter'Tron pickups. The chambered body is intended to reduce weight while supporting a resonant foundation with full lows, present mids, and smooth highs. Individual pickup volumes, master tone, master volume, and a three-way selector give you several ways to shape the two-pickup setup. A Bigsby B50 tailpiece adds hands-on pitch modulation, from light movement to deeper dips.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Stage or rehearsal players who want individual pickup-volume control alongside master tone and volume.
- Adding subtle vibrato movement or deeper pitch dips with the Bigsby B50 tailpiece.
- Players who prefer a 12-inch radius, 22 medium-jumbo frets, and a Thin U neck.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players.
- Buyers who need a case or gig bag supplied with the guitar.
