Gretsch Guitars G5622T CB Electromatic LRL Midnight Sapphire

An Electromatic Center Block Designed for Gretsch Sound at High Volume

The G5622T embodies the Gretsch spirit of hollow-body guitars with a more modern and stage-friendly approach. Its Center Block construction preserves the resonance and openness of a semi-hollow body while improving gain handling and feedback control. The result is a lively, punchy, and comfortable guitar, tailored for live performances and saturated tones without losing the Gretsch character.

For Which Guitarists and Styles?

This Gretsch is especially suited for intermediate to advanced guitarists who want a versatile semi-hollow, reliable at high volume, and easy to handle thanks to the double cutaway. It excels in rock, blues, indie, pop, rockabilly, and any genre where dynamic response, snap, and strong presence in the mix are sought-from bright cleans to gritty overdrive.

Sound Characteristics

The laminated maple body delivers a crisp attack, precision, and well-defined highs, while the Center Block construction enhances sustain and stabilizes performance at high volume. The Black Top Broad'Tron humbuckers offer an articulate sound with solid punch and clarity that remains distinct in crunch and saturation. The electronics provide true "Gretsch-style" control: individual volume knobs for each pickup, master volume with treble bleed to maintain clarity when lowering volume, master tone to smooth the top end, and a 3-position selector switch for instant transition from warm neck to biting bridge pickup.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To stay true to the original spirit, use a set of electric guitar strings .010-.046 (nickel plated steel) matching the factory gauge. A standard strap is also suitable for stage and rehearsal use.
