Black Top Broad'Tron Pickups Provide Thick, Defined Overdrive

The G5220 Electromatic Jet BT gets its bold tone from a pair of Broad'Tron pickups. These pickups provide an aggressive overdrive with enough definition to maintain note clarity and balance. The bridge pickup has a tight, cutting tone for leads, while the neck pickup delivers a warm, throaty growl perfect for rhythm playing. With individual volume controls for each pickup, you can blend the pickups to find your perfect balance of grit and girth.

Chambered Mahogany Body Resonates with Rich Tone

The G5220 has a chambered mahogany body with a maple top that provides resonance and tonal complexity. The mahogany body has a naturally warm and balanced tone with a clear midrange, while the maple top adds crisp articulation to the highs and focused thump to the lows. Strategic chambers in the body reduce weight while allowing the tonewoods to breathe, resulting in a full, dynamic tone that sustains for days.

Master Volume with Treble Bleed Circuit Maintains High-End Clarity

As you lower the volume on most guitars, the high frequencies tend to get lost, resulting in a muffled tone. The G5220 Electromatic Jet BT solves this issue with a master volume control and treble bleed circuit. As you decrease the master volume, the treble bleed circuit allows the high frequencies to remain so your tone stays clear and defined at any volume. You get full, open tone when cranked and rich, expressive tone at lower volumes.

Stable Hardware Provides Accurate Intonation

The G5220 Electromatic Jet BT features a synthetic bone nut and die-cast tuners that provide stable intonation and tuning. The synthetic bone nut transfers vibrations efficiently for a resonant tone. The die-cast tuners are durable and accurately hold pitch through even the most intense playing sessions. Overall, the hardware on the G5220 helps ensure that it plays and sounds its best every time you pick it up.
