Gretsch G5422TG Electromatic Pristine Limited Edition Hollow Body Double-Cut w/ Bigsby LRL White Gold

Airy hollow-body tone with a smoother playing feel

The Gretsch G5422TG Electromatic Pristine Limited Edition Hollow Body Double-Cut White Gold suits players who want that unmistakable Gretsch hollow-body sound, but in a format that feels a little more open and forgiving across the neck. The sapele body gives the guitar plenty of air and resonance, so chords have width and single notes carry with a bit of space around them, which makes it a strong fit for country, blues, roots rock, indie, and cleaner pop parts.

The double-cut body helps when you’re moving further up the neck, and the 24.6" scale keeps the feel relaxed under the fingers. The Classic C neck sits comfortably in the hand, while the 12.6" radius gives the guitar a slightly flatter feel that helps bends come off cleanly and keeps lead work from feeling cramped. It has that easy-playing hollow-body feel without becoming awkward once you get higher up the register.

The FT-5E Filter’Tron pickups bring the bright, articulate Gretsch character people usually want, but with enough focus to stop bigger chords from washing out. The neck pickup handles warmer lines nicely, the bridge adds extra bite and snap, and the master volume with treble bleed makes it easier to clean things up without losing the top end. Add the Bigsby B60 and you’ve got the kind of shimmer and movement that suits this style of guitar so well.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think this G5422TG suits players who want a hollow-body with plenty of chime, a more flexible double-cut feel, and a sound that stays musical across clean, pushed, and more expressive styles of playing.
