Here for sale we have a Gretsch G5232T Electromatic Double Jet FT Electric Guitar in Tahiti Red finish. Built in China in 2022, this set-neck guitar features a Chambered Mahogany body with an Arched Maple top, Mahogany neck and a 22 fret Laurel fingerboard. This guitar is fitted with a Synthetic Bone nut with Die Cast Chrome hardware which include machine heads, an Anchored Adjusto-Matic bridge, and Bigsby B50 Vibrato tailpiece. The pickups in this guitar are a pair of Black Top Filter'Tron pickups which are wired to individual volume controls, a master volume, master tone and a 3-way pickup toggle switch.
The Thin "U" profile of the neck is easy to get your hands around combined with the Gloss finished neck, this encourages fast playing as it's easy and slick to manoeuvre along the profile. The Medium Jumbo frets enhance bends and vibrato techniques, making them easier to play with the 12" radius still giving enough comfortability for chordal fretting. The Chambered Mahogany body also reduces weight which aids in reducing strain over long playing or performing sessions.
The pickups have a punchy sound with plenty of brightness and high end presence. Due to the biting tone it is great for styles like rock or blue, cutting through with leads, however they can handle almost any style you throw at them thanks to the volume and tone controls allowing you to really personalise the tone. The neck pickup offers a slightly darker and thicker tone compared to the brighter bridge pickup which still offers plenty of warmth to each note. The Bigsby tailpiece also allows for subtle and tasteful bends during your playing whilst keeping the string tension and tuning intact.
