GRETSCH® ANNOUNCES NEW ELECTROMATIC® AND LIMITED EDITION MODELS


Scottsdale, Ariz. (July 17, 2019)
Gretsch® today announces new Electromatic® Double Jet™, Electromatic® Center Block and limited edition Electromatic® Hollow Body models, as well as the G2622TG-P90 Limited Edition Streamliner™ Center Block P90 with Bigsby® and Gold Hardware and G5021E Limited Edition Rancher™ Penguin™ Parlor.

The G5232T Electromatic® Double Jet™ FT with Bigsby® captures essential Jet power and fidelity at a great price.

Classic Jet tone begins with a double-cut chambered mahogany body with arched maple top that produces full lows and mids with a well-defined, yet smooth high end. The result is a strong and balanced acoustic foundation fit for a variety of tones. The mahogany neck and laurel fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and pearloid Neo-Classic™ thumbnail inlays are the ideal surface for endless rock ‘n’ roll riffing.

New Black Top Filter’Tron™ pickups in the bridge and neck amplify and accentuate the chambered body to produce a wide, balanced and transparent tone. Loud and punchy, this Jet sounds out with remarkable definition at any level of gain.

Spotlight-ready in either Casino Gold, Dark Cherry Metallic, Midnight Sapphire or Tahiti Red (shown from top to bottom below), the G5232T also features an anchored Adjusto-Matic™ bridge, Bigsby® B50 tailpiece, aged white body binding with multi-ply purfling, silver pickguard, silver pickup bezels and chrome hardware.

Designed for comfortable playability, the lower set maple neck features a laurel fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and pearloid Neo-Classic™ thumbnail inlays.

New Black Top Broad’Tron™ humbucking pickups in the bridge and neck deliver chiming highs with dynamic and articulate tone for enhanced sonic punch.

Other fine features include an anchored Adjusto-Matic™ bridge, Bigsby® B70 vibrato tailpiece for added shimmer, Graph Tech® NuBone® nut and G-arrow knobs.

Available in a stunning Candy Apple Red satin finish, the impressively affordable G2622TG-P90 Streamliner™ Center Block P90 with Bigsby® and Gold Hardware is designed for three simple things — high gain-friendly performance, slick, easy playability and spectacular style.

Tone from the G2622TG-P90 is the perfect blend of brash and brawn with a chambered spruce center block driven to the limit by dual P90 pickups. The single-coil P90 Soap Bar pickups offer up a more transparent tone than a traditional humbucker, while retaining a thick midrange for a unique, muscular voice.

The lightweight spruce center block runs the length of the body, reinforcing the top while eliminating undesired feedback for volume-friendly performance on modern stages. The gold Bigsby®-licensed B70 vibrato tailpiece adds shimmer and expression to playing.

Easy to play while rocking out, the G2622TG-P90 is a phenomenal instrument for the modern musician who wants to control the stage and the audience while standing out from the pack.
