  • Black Top Broad'Tron humbuckers provide thick overdrive while keeping clean notes articulate

Jet BT Single-Cut with V-Stoptail

The Gretsch G5220 Electromatic Jet BT Single-Cut is a solidbody electric guitar built with a chambered mahogany body and maple top. It carries two Black Top Broad'Tron humbucking pickups and a Laurel fingerboard on a mahogany neck. The Olive Metallic finish gives it a distinctive look. This instrument is made for players who want the classic Jet voice with modern pickup power.

Chambered body and fixed tailpiece

The chambered mahogany body with maple top reduces weight while keeping resonance strong. The V-Stoptail anchor provides solid string termination and tuning stability. Two Broad'Tron humbuckers deliver thick overdrive and clean definition without needing active electronics. Standard controls give direct access to volume and tone shaping for each pickup.

Suits genre-hopping players; not for tremolo users

Guitarists covering rock, blues, jazz or country will find the pickup set versatile enough for clean and driven tones. The fixed V-Stoptail means there is no vibrato arm, so players who rely on whammy-bar effects should look elsewhere. The single-cutaway limits upper-fret access compared to double-cutaway designs.
