Gretsch Guitars G5422T Electromatic Double Cutaway Hollowbody Electric Guitar Black

I had seen one of these guitars in my shop a couple years ago when I set one up for a friend. I thought it was an outstanding guitar, so I was looking to buy one. Great neck ,,outstanding workmanship, it will compare with anything I own. I have some that I paid 4x the price of this one , have trouble putting it in the case.

I picked this up because I sold my house and was doing a 6 week stay at a hotel til my new house was finished. Couldn't exactly set up my Mesa Fillmore head and cab and wasn't gonna go 6 weeks unplugged or worse yet not playing at all. Looked at a few different headphone amps and then saw a few demos of this Katana Mini. Figured it would give me the headphone option and could still do some quiet practice w/o the headphones. I'll just say wow. The size of this thing made me expect a very thin and bland lil amp and I was wrong. It has 3 channels and digital delay that if you turn the time to 0 and level all the way up works as a reverb. The cleans are great and the overdrive was actually a real surprise(very sd1 like). Then the Brown channel kicked in and I was blown away. At 7 watts it can get pretty loud and the tone is really great..... I am not saying it is a tone machine but for the size and features it really rocks. Costs about the same as a headphone jack amp and is way more bang for ur buck. Take it anywhere runs off batteries or 9v power supply. I am now looking at the Katana 50 watt combo for practice w my band and as a backup. Boss has great pedals so why wouldn't they have great amps.

this is the third korean gretsch i have owned and the best. it doesn't need any adjustment whatsoever except the nut slots for e, a and d could be a little lower and i'll fix that. everything else is great. plugged into my tube amp and a few pedals it screams bloody murder. try a keeley compressor 2 pedal with this and some distortion , wow. also bought a tkl case (for an artcore) and it fits pretty good. 1 star off because i think it should have come with a case, even a cheapo would be good. i'm 70 and have had many guitars and this one is a keeper.

I like this guitar. It's light. It's fun to play. All my other guitars are solid body so this is a nice addition to the herd. I did add a roller bridge and a vibramate spoiler to make it function like I like.

Great guitar - sounds great, looks great, and feels great. Came well-packaged and arrived safely. Highly recommend if you are looking for a great quality hollowbody guitar!

Use at home and in the church band. Great clean or dirty. The sound is amazing, the playablility is perfect. I wouldn't change a thing
