G5422G-12 belongs to the Electromatic Collection. It is a brand new mid-2016 model, introduced just in time for the summer NAMM. The most prominent feature on this hollow-bodied guitar is the existence of an additional course of strings, making G5422G-12 the only twelve-string guitar in the new quintet. Stylistically, G5422G leans on its six-string sibling (G5422TG), featuring the same gold-plated hardware, same pickguard, "f" holes and binding. 24-3/5" scale, set-neck construction, 22-fret fingerboard and Gretsch electronics are also there. Even the price tag remains the same - $1,349. G5422G-12 starts off with a double-cut body made of laminated maple and a glued-in neck, made of solid maple. All panels of the body are made of five-ply maple. The neck is equipped with the series standard U profile in the back and a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard on top (1-11/16" wide NuBone string nut, medium-jumbo frets, humpblock inlays, 12" fingerboard radius). Pickups are Blacktop Filter`Trons, installed with a standard controls unit. Tone-wise, they deliver the standard mix of vintage and modern Gretsch tones. Other major features include Adjust-o-matic bridge (with trapezoid tailpiece) and open-gear tuners.
