Black Top Broad’Tron Pickups – Powerful & Articulate

The Black Top Broad’Tron humbuckers are the heart of this guitar’s sound, delivering high-output power with exceptional note definition. Designed to drive the chambered mahogany body and maple top, these pickups provide a thick, aggressive low end, a punchy midrange, and crisp, articulate highs. Whether you're cranking up the gain for raw, overdriven riffs or keeping it clean for bright, clear melodies, these pickups deliver versatility with bite.

Chambered Mahogany Body – Rich Mids & Balanced Highs

The single-cut Jet body is made from chambered mahogany, enhancing resonance and sustain while reducing weight for comfortable playability. The maple top adds brightness and definition, ensuring a balanced tone that cuts through any mix. This combination provides a harmonically rich sound, making the G5220 equally at home in rock, blues, jazz, or country.

Effortless Playability – Lower-Set Mahogany Neck & 12” Radius Fingerboard

Designed for smooth, comfortable playing, the mahogany neck features a lower-set design for easy access to higher frets. The 12” radius laurel fingerboard and medium jumbo frets provide a fast, fluid feel, making it ideal for both rhythm playing and soaring lead work. The thin "U"-shaped neck profile ensures a comfortable grip, while the Big Block pearloid inlays add a touch of vintage Gretsch flair.

Total Tonal Control – Master Volume with Treble Bleed

With its master volume featuring a treble bleed circuit, the G5220 retains clarity even at lower volumes, ensuring your tone remains articulate and dynamic. The individual volume controls for each pickup allow for precise tonal blending, while the master tone knob offers additional shaping options. Whether you're going for full-throttle drive or warm, rounded cleans, this control setup gives you the flexibility to sculpt your perfect sound.

Rock-Solid Hardware – V-Stoptail & Adjusto-Matic Bridge

The Gretsch V-Stoptail and anchored Adjusto-Matic bridge work together to provide excellent tuning stability and sustain. This setup ensures that your guitar stays in tune through aggressive playing styles, while the die-cast tuning machines offer smooth and precise adjustments.
