Like a ’60s invasion, the Gretsch G5422G-12 Electromatic Classic Hollow Body Double-Cut 12-String Guitar with Gold Hardware serves up a full hollow-body build and the true Filter’Tron voice for that classically lush 12-string chime and jangle. Like all Electromatic guitars, it delivers the fearless and electrifying authenticity that has set Gretsch apart as the quintessential rock ‘n’ roll guitar from the very beginning.
Body
The G5422G-12 features a laminated maple body with vintage-inspired perimeters and refined arches, as well as all-new trestle block bracing to help reduce unwanted feedback.
Trestle Block Design
By increasing rigidity and contact between the top and back of the body, the new trestle block design also results in the sound having a faster attack with more focus, snap, and increased sustain.
Huge Full-Bodied Punch Voice
Coupled with all-new FT-5E Filter’Tron pickups, this hollow build’s voice explodes with a huge full-bodied punch, classic chime, and enhanced presence, clarity, and note definition.
Maple Neck
An all-new classic C-shaped maple neck offers a more comfortable playing feel for improved playability and performance and is topped with a 12-Inch radius laurel fingerboard.
Other Features
Other premium features include versatile upgraded controls including master volume with a treble bleed circuit, master tone, individual pickup volume controls and three-position tone switch, oversized bound F-holes, multi-ply body binding, smaller late-50s G6120 bound headstock, sealed die-cast tuning machines, Graph Tech NuBone nut, historic pearloid Hump Block inlays, secured Adjusto-Matic bridge, and a Gretsch G-cutout tailpiece.
Finish
Alive and loud, the G5422G-12 is available in a walnut stain finish with gold hardware and gold pickguard.
