Gretsch G5222 Electromatic Double Jet BT IL London Grey

Gitara wykonana świetnie, naprawdę nie znalazłem nic co by mi podpadło. Brzmi bardzo fajnie, nie rozstraja się. Jestem bardzo zadowolony. I ta cena!

Gitara miała krzywo nabite progi i od razu po zakupie konieczny był kosztujący 300 zł szlif. A w całkiem nowym instrumencie się tego nie spodziewałem...

Későn érkezett hosszú volt a várakozási idő

Die G5222 ist ein echtes Sahnestückchen. Toller Sound, gute Verarbeitung. Für einen Chinaprügel nicht übel, da kommt der AC/DC-Sound wie von CD.

First the 'cons': Even though this guitar feels great and plays great for the money (more about that later), it still is a 'budget' instrument. You can identify some problems here and there, like the potentiometers which are really bad and will have to be replaced if you want smooth and gradual 'volume' or 'tone' transitions. Also, it's likely to come with small setup issues - for example, the intonation in my guitar was way off, the action was too high, and one of the pickups was a bit loose. Nothing I couldn't adjust myself, but if you haven't got at least some experience doing some basic guitar adjustments, do get a professional to go over the instrument once you get it. Now the 'pros': Even with what I mention above, this is a lot of guitar for the money. The fact that it costs as little as €400 is truly remarkable. The finish is very impressive for the price (all I could find were a couple of sharp frets, but nothing major), and the sound is great. Everyone will say it's great for AC/DC stuff (which is true, you do get a Malcolm Young sound out of it in absolutely no time), but it does wonders in a variety of styles. I, for example, got this guitar to play QOTSA songs, in C Standard, and the chambered body plus the Broad'trons have been great for achieving a Josh Homme sound! In short: although it is a 'budget' instrument, it punches considerably above its weight. I am happy with my purchase.
