Gretsch G5422G-12 Electromatic Classic Hollow Body 12-String - Used Excelent

This used Gretsch G5422G-12 Electromatic Classic Hollow Body 12-String delivers the iconic '60s jangle, punch, and chime at an incredible pre-owned value. Featuring upgraded FT-5E Filter’Tron pickups and innovative trestle block bracing, this double-cutaway powerhouse offers professional-grade performance, reduced feedback, and a comfortable playing experience that feels surprisingly like a standard 6-string guitar.

The heart of this 12-string consists of two FT-5E Filter’Tron humbucking pickups. They generate a massive, full-bodied punch with enhanced note definition. You get pristine clarity and classic '60s rock 'n' roll presence without muddy overlapping frequencies.

Traditional hollow bodies struggle with feedback at higher volumes. This model features Gretsch's modern trestle block bracing inside the laminated maple body. By rigidifying the top-to-back contact, it dramatically reduces feedback while giving your notes a faster attack, sharper snap, and increased sustain.

Many 12-string guitars feel bulky or stiff. The G5422G-12 breaks that mold with a modern Classic "C"-shaped maple neck and a 12”-radius laurel fingerboard. The action is remarkably low and smooth, resulting in a nimble playing feel that won't fatigue your fretting hand.

Wrapped in a rich Walnut Stain finish, this guitar radiates premium vintage mojo. It comes fully loaded with striking gold hardware, a gold plexi pickguard, oversized bound F-holes, multi-ply body binding, and historic pearloid Hump Block inlays.

• Electronics: Fully tested; pots are clean and switch functions perfectly.
• Hardware: Minor tarnishing on the gold plating (typical for used gold hardware), but 100% functional.
• Frets & Neck: Minimal fret wear; the neck is straight and the truss rod responds accurately.
• Cosmetics: Minor play wear, but no major dings, chips, or deep scratches.
