  • Chambered mahogany body with maple top delivers rich mid-range and balanced resonance
  • Black Top Broad'Tron humbuckers provide thick overdrive while keeping clean notes defined

Gretsch G5220 Jet BT Single-Cut

The Gretsch G5220 Electromatic Jet BT is a solidbody electric guitar built with a chambered mahogany body and maple top. It features a mahogany neck and laurel fingerboard. Two Black Top Broad'Tron humbucking pickups provide the core voice. A V-Stoptail bridge anchors the strings. The finish is Sweet Tea.

Broad'Tron pickups replace Filter'Tron types

The Black Top Broad'Tron humbuckers replace the narrower Filter'Tron single-coils found on many other Jet models. They deliver thicker output and stronger mid-range drive while keeping note definition clear. The chambered mahogany body with maple top adds resonant lows and shimmering highs. The jump is worth it when you need humbucker power with Gretsch articulation.

Players wanting humbucker power in a Jet

This guitar suits players who want the classic Jet silhouette with modern humbucker output and a chambered body for weight relief. The V-Stoptail offers a traditional feel. Builders who need a vibrato tailpiece, a bound neck, or Filter'Tron single-coil chime should look at something else.

Questions about this item

What body thickness and neck joint style does the G5220 have for case fit?

The G5220 uses a chambered mahogany body with a maple top and a set mahogany neck, so a standard single‑cut solid‑body case fits.

How do I set the V‑Stoptail height and intonation without moving the bridge posts?

Adjust the V‑Stoptail height with the two thumbwheels, then turn each saddle screw for intonation; do not loosen the bridge mounting studs.

When should I replace the Broad'Tron pickups or the laurel fretboard?

Broad'Tron pickups rarely need replacement unless damaged; the laurel fretboard only requires occasional cleaning and light oiling during string changes.
