Semi-hollowbody electric guitar
The Gretsch G5622T Electromatic Center Block Double-Cut is a semi-hollowbody electric guitar built with a laminated maple top and chambered spruce center block. Dual Black Top Broad'Tron humbucking pickups deliver chiming highs, dynamic mids and articulate lows. A Bigsby B70 tailpiece adds expressive vibrato capability. The midnight sapphire finish completes the distinctive look for stage or studio use.
Build integration and control layout
Master volume with treble bleed circuit, master tone and individual pickup volume controls sit alongside a three-position toggle switch for precise sound shaping. The chambered spruce center block reduces weight while enhancing resonance and high-gain performance. Laurel fingerboard provides smooth playability across the double-cutaway body. No additional hardware is required beyond standard amplification and cable connections.
Suited for versatile players, not minimalists
Guitarists seeking a lightweight semi-hollow instrument with extensive tonal control and Bigsby vibrato will appreciate the flexible electronics and comfortable chambered construction. Players who prefer a solid-body platform without vibrato hardware or those needing a simpler control scheme should consider alternative designs. The 70-year Gretsch heritage informs every detail of this 5622 model.

Questions about this item
Does the chambered spruce center block control feedback when the Dual Black Top Broad'Tron humbuckers are pushed hard?
The chambered spruce center block is designed to enhance dynamic resonance and high-gain power while keeping the semi-hollow body lightweight, helping to manage feedback at volume.
Will the Bigsby B70 vibrato stay in tune during an entire set?
The Bigsby B70 tailpiece is mounted on the laminated maple top; tuning stability depends on proper setup, nut lubrication and playing technique rather than a locking mechanism.
What amplification setup is needed to hear the Dual Black Top Broad'Tron pickups as intended?
The pickups are passive humbuckers with a master volume, master tone, individual pickup volumes and a three-way toggle, so any standard guitar amplifier with a high-impedance input will reproduce their chiming highs, dynamic mids and articulate lows.
