Its laminated maple construction and 12-string layout provide a distinctly layered voice for rhythm parts, arpeggios, and melodic lines. The Walnut Stain finish, gold hardware, and classic Gretsch appointments give it a traditional visual character without changing its practical stage-ready focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis model is designed for guitarists who want electric 12-string sound without relying on an acoustic-electric setup. Two FT-5E Filter'Tron pickups deliver the amplified signal, with individual pickup volume controls allowing the neck and bridge pickups to be balanced. A three-position toggle selects bridge, combined, or neck pickup operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe full hollow body uses trestle block bracing, which increases rigidity between the top and back of the body. This construction is intended to help reduce unwanted feedback while supporting a faster attack, focused response, and sustain. It gives players a practical hollowbody platform for amplified playing at rehearsal, recording, and performance volumes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA set maple neck with a Classic \"C\" profile joins a 12-inch-radius laurel fingerboard. The 1.77-inch nut width, 22 medium-jumbo frets, and 24.72-inch scale are configured specifically for the instrument's 12-string format. Pearloid Hump Block inlays, white neck binding, and black side dots complete the neck detailing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe G5422G-12 can serve as a dedicated texture guitar in a pedalboard-and-amp rig or as a distinctive addition alongside a standard six-string electric. Its master volume includes a treble-bleed circuit, helping preserve high-end clarity as the master volume is reduced. The secured Adjusto-Matic bridge, sealed die-cast tuners, and Gretsch G-Cutout tailpiece provide the core hardware platform for setup and intonation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDedicated 12-String Layout:\u003c\/strong\u003e Produces doubled-string texture for chime, shimmer, and layered electric-guitar parts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFT-5E Filter'Tron Pickups:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two humbucking pickups provide neck, bridge, and combined tonal options.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrestle Block Bracing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adds body rigidity to support focused attack and reduce unwanted feedback.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaster Volume With Treble Bleed:\u003c\/strong\u003e Helps retain clarity when reducing the overall guitar volume.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSecured Adjusto-Matic Bridge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides an adjustable bridge mounted on a secured laurel base.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClassic C Maple Neck:\u003c\/strong\u003e Offers a familiar neck profile with a 12-inch-radius laurel fingerboard.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe G5422G-12 has a gloss-finished laminated maple hollow body with arched laminated maple top and back, white binding with black\/white\/black purfling, and oversized bound F-holes. Gold-finished hardware includes a gold Plexi pickguard with black Gretsch and Electromatic logos, gold pickup covers, G-Arrow control knobs, and sealed die-cast tuning machines. Its body depth is 2.25 inches, and the double-cutaway body supports upper-fret access.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs an electric guitar, the G5422G-12 is intended for use with a compatible guitar amplifier and instrument cable. The pickup selector provides bridge-only, combined-pickup, and neck-only settings, while separate pickup volumes, master volume, and master tone allow the signal to be shaped before the amplifier. A case or gig bag is not included; Gretsch lists the G6298 Electromatic hardshell case and G2162 Hollow Body gig bag as optional accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gretsch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45668729782342,"sku":"2516319517","price":999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0048\/4163\/5910\/files\/71uYDX0WFhL.jpg?v=1784458245","url":"https:\/\/audiowatt.store\/products\/gretsch-g5422g-12-12-string-hollowbody-electric-guitar","provider":"Audio Watt Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
