Looks & Build Quality

Visually, this Gretsch is gorgeous. The Dark Cherry Metallic finish gleams under stage lights, and the silver pickguard, chrome hardware, and stylish "cat's eye" f-holes complete the vintage-modern blend. The double-cutaway body offers great upper fret access while preserving that classic Gretsch silhouette.

Despite being a mid-tier model, the build quality is impressive. The center block design gives it enough resonance for semi-hollow warmth while eliminating unwanted feedback at high volumes

Tone & Electronics

The G5622T is powered by Gretsch Black Top Broad’Tron pickups, designed for clarity, power, and versatility. Unlike Filter’Trons, these pickups lean slightly toward a more modern humbucker voice, more output, wider frequency response, but still plenty of Gretsch chime and bite.

• Neck pickup: Full and smooth, great for jazz, soul, or clean rhythm

• Bridge pickup: Snappy, crisp, and cutting, perfect for rock, rockabilly, or lead lines

• Middle position: Balanced and jangly, ideal for indie or pop tones

Thanks to the center block, this guitar handles higher gain better than most hollow/semi-hollows, with significantly reduced feedback. The treble bleed circuit on the master volume also retains high-end clarity when rolling back the volume, a thoughtful addition for tone-sensitive players.

Playability

The slim “U” neck profile is fast and comfortable, and the 12” radius fingerboard makes bends and lead work smooth and buzz-free. The shorter 24.6" scale length gives the strings a slightly slinkier feel, making it a comfortable instrument for extended play.

The Bigsby vibrato tailpiece adds expressive shimmer for surf, blues, or retro vibes. Tuning stability is decent for a Bigsby-equipped guitar—though not as stable as hardtail models, it's reliable with proper setup and lubrication.

• Eye-catching vintage aesthetics

• Center block improves sustain and reduces feedback

• Versatile Broad’Tron pickups – warm cleans to gritty overdrive

• Comfortable neck and great upper fret access

• Bigsby for expressive playing

• Excellent value for the quality

The Gretsch G5622T Electromatic CB in Dark Cherry Metallic is a versatile, stylish, and tone-rich semi-hollow that excels across genres—be it blues, indie, classic rock, or alt-country. The center block makes it stage- and studio-ready, the pickups provide ample character, and the look is pure Gretsch
