Full Description
View Full DescriptionA Classic Design
The Gretsch G5622T-CB features a 5-ply Maple body with a bound arched top and back, delivering incredibly bright tones. The hollowbody design has unique "cats-eye" sound holes, and a spruce centre-block bracing, delivering powerful resonance for an incredible sustain while creating a visually stunning aesthetic. The Adjusto-matic bridge and Bigsby vibrato tailpiece adds to the classic look while offering incredible string stability and pitch bend effects.
Maple Neck, Rosewood Fingerboard
The 21-fret rosewood fretboard featured on the Gretsch is naturally oily and works well for any surface that sees frequent human contact. The stray overtones are absorbed into the oily pours, making the sound richer than that of a maple fingerboard. The maple neck will withstand the test of time and usage as it has less reaction from environmental changes than other hardwoods. The combination provides powerful tones, creating sparkling highs, thick creamy lows, and an open midrange with a sharp attack.
Duel-Coil SUPER HiLo’Tron Pickups
The 3 Super HiLo’Tron Pickups provide the best of both worlds, producing clean, high-end sparkle along with robust low-end, low-noise performance. Based on the original Hilo’Tron pickups, the Duel -coil design adds more output to create a big sound with a punchy bass, slightly scooped mids, and emphasises the highs and lows. The middle pickup can be switched on and off via the 2-way auxiliary switch, allowing you to get a bridge/twin-pickup and mix/neck tonal options.
