Gretsch G5622 Electromatic Center Block Double-Cut with V-Stoptail in Black Gold Semi Hollow Guitar, (Used)

The Gretsch G5622 Electromatic Center Block Double-Cut with V-Stoptail in Black Gold is a semi-hollow electric guitar built within the Electromatic series, combining traditional hollowbody design elements with a modern centre block structure. It features a laminated maple body with an arched top and back, paired with a chambered spruce centre block that runs through the body to enhance sustain and reduce feedback at higher volumes. The guitar uses a set maple neck with a thin “U” profile and a laurel fingerboard, constructed with a 24.6-inch scale length and 22 medium jumbo frets for balanced playability across rhythm and lead applications.

The electronics consist of two Black Top Broad’Tron humbucking pickups, designed to produce a wide frequency response with strong output and clarity. These are controlled through a versatile layout including individual pickup volume controls, a master volume with treble bleed circuit, a master tone control, and a three-position toggle switch for pickup selection. This configuration allows for multiple tonal variations, ranging from clear, chime-like highs to fuller midrange and low-end response.

Hardware includes an anchored Adjusto-Matic bridge paired with a Gretsch V-Stoptail tailpiece, contributing to stable tuning and efficient vibration transfer through the body. Additional components include a Graph Tech NuBone nut, die-cast sealed tuning machines, and nickel hardware throughout. The Black Gold finish is applied in a gloss coating with aged white binding and multi-ply purfling, reflecting the instrument’s blend of vintage-inspired styling and modern construction methods.
