@brettc61322 жыл бұрын
I just picked one up a few months ago-and got one of their Jim dandy parlor acoustics as well-between it and the sounds you can get these days from modelers, daws, and even cheap tube amps I’m legit awestruck at what you can get right now for under $1k, the price of my current setup back when I first started would’ve gotten me a first act amp and maybe a cheap pawn shop strat if I was lucky (which I was not, actually, during my first go round 🤣). Plus imo they are some of the best looking guitars around right now period, so you can look as good as you sound; love what Gretsch is doing these days! I do miss my old Les Paul dc special tho…

@@brettc6132 I love the Les Paul Special DC from around 2000 (1996-2002+), but rarely see them come up for sale. I agree, Gretsch is making great and affordable guitars!

I have a 2022 Snowcrest White G5422GT Electromatic Classic and LOVE IT. >> Nerd Alert: Gretsch G5422 and G5420 Electromatics are hollowbody guitars that don't have a center block. The three new for 2022 Electromatic Classic models - G5420 (available in RH and LH versions), G5422 (available in RH and LH versions) and G5422G-12 (12-string) - are each outfitted with Gretsch's newly unveiled advanced trestle bracing system, which the company says provides improved sustain and a snappier attack. These three 2022 Electromatic Classic hollowbody guitars come with Gretsch's newly developed FT-5E Filter’Tron pickups.

Hi Kevin.....what do you think of the FT-5E p/ups?
@redduketeleman Жыл бұрын
@Kevin Barnard Thanks for the reply. I have too many guitars really but I think I will pull the trigger as my shop has a special offer going on at the moment and I only have 2 Gretches in my collection at the moment and one of them is an acoustic. Cheers.
@skateborg Жыл бұрын
@@redduketeleman - I love this guitar. The FT-5E Filter’Tron pickups sound great in all modes, from lush fingerstyle to jazzy to hard rocking. Also, the 2022 G5422GT Electromatic Classic feels better built than earlier years' G5422 guitars. Seems Gretsch upped their production quality a few notches in 2022.

I like your style and presentation and thanks for a good comparison of these two. I've been shopping for a hollow body electric for a few weeks now and a few G5420T models are at the top of my list. I've looked at that Godin and several of the models under $500 but keep coming back to the G5420T in either blue, black or orange. Weird thing is the first time I saw the orange I thought it was hideous but the color is growing on me and I think that is the one I'm going to buy.

Got some Fender acoustic guitars and a uke. Also bought a Gretsch Honey Dipper steel guitar a couple of years back and just love the quality and sound of that. Now I’m looking to buy an electric and thinking about a Tele or G5422TG as I love the sound of both. Leaning towards the 5422 though.

Wasn't the previous 5422 model fully hollow? It was the 5622 that had a centre block.
@johngibson9112 жыл бұрын
Dead right - the Electromatic G5620 & G5622 are (& always have been) semi hollow with a centre block while the G5420 & G5422 are (& again, always have been) hollow bodies with a floating bridge. The 20 has a single cutaway & the 22 has a double cutaway. The same basic principle of model numbering also applies to the Streamliner series but they start with a 2. Now, can anyone explain to me the random collection of letters & numbers that Ibanez use for their guitars?
