Gretsch Guitars G5232T Electromatic Double Jet FT With Bigsby Midnight Sapphire


Description
This solidbody electric guitar takes the iconic Jet body shape to new heights with chambered mahogany construction, arched maple top and dual Black Top Filter'Tron™ pickups for a balanced and versatile tone. The combination of individual pickup volume controls, master tone and master volume with treble bleed circuit provides intuitive and comprehensive control over your sound.
Chambered Mahogany Body Produces Rich, Resonant Tone
The G5232T's chambered mahogany body with arched maple top creates a strong yet open tonal foundation. The chambering reduces weight while enhancing resonance, resulting in full lows, present mids and smooth highs.
Black Top Filter'Tron™ Pickups Deliver Classic Gretsch Sound
The G5232T's dual Black Top Filter'Tron™ pickups provide the quintessential Gretsch humbucker tone with added clarity and definition. The bridge pickup delivers punchy and articulate tones, while the neck pickup brings warmth and richness. With both pickups engaged, you'll get a wide range of balanced and versatile sounds.
Bigsby® Tailpiece Adds Shimmer and Expression
No Gretsch guitar is complete without a Bigsby® vibrato tailpiece. The G5232T features a Bigsby® B50 vibrato tailpiece, which allows you to add subtle pitch modulation and texture to your playing. From gentle warbling to dramatic pitch dips, the Bigsby® tailpiece gives you expressive control.
Premium Appointments and Classic Style
With its silver plexi pickguard, Pearloid Neo Classic™ Thumbnail inlays, and die cast tuners, the G5232T exudes classic Gretsch style. A 12" fingerboard radius and 22 medium jumbo frets make for a comfortable playing feel. Overall, the G5232T Electromatic Double Jet FT is a bold and innovative take on a timeless design.

I like the concept and the color. But that's all. It's heavy and dead-sounding. Rusty strings on a new guitar? That's a deal killer for me. Don't they even look at these before they're sent out?
Yes I would buy again

Why do people on this site say that a guitar (not Amp) is good for practicing at home but NOT for larger venues... How would they know that? Does a guitar "in general" sound differently in my Marshall stack at home than in a concert, or my twin reverb does at home? How about a miked-up electric-acoustic axe, is it the guitars' fault that that you are amped out of an inept PA? Please screen these ignorant comments ... I would like to think your customers are better informed, or should be.

How come some 5222/5232's have the electromagnetic on the headstock while others don't ?
Gretsch designed some versions of this model to have the 'electromagnetic' on the head stock and some versions without.submitted6 years ago

Is the gretsch 5232 made in Japan or China? Also what is the difference between the 5232 and the 5445, the look identical?
This Gretsch is made in China. These guitars are very similar but with slightly different pickups.
