Chambered Mahogany Body With Arched Maple Top
At the core of the G5232T's powerful voice is its chambered mahogany body with an arched maple top. The mahogany's warmth and projection blends perfectly with the maple's focused highs and clear articulation. You'll hear every note ring out with depth and sustain. The chambered design also enhances resonance for a livelier response. From bright jangle to thick distortion, this guitar delivers classic Gretsch tone in spades.
Black Top Filter'Tron Pickups
Gretsch's Black Top Filter'Tron pickups are the driving force behind the G5232T's muscular personality. These high-output single coils have a punchy, authoritative voice that slices through a dense mix. Crank up the gain and dig into power chords—you'll be amazed at the potent, well-defined distortion. For crystalline cleans, the Filter'Trons offer exceptional string-to-string clarity with a smooth upper midrange that allows single notes to bloom.
Bigsby Vibrato Unlocks Expressive Possibilities
Adding an extra dimension of vibe is the G5232T's Bigsby-licensed B50 vibrato tailpiece. This iconic vibrato system lets you unleash dramatic pitch bends, shimmering warbles and surf-approved dive bombs. It's a secret weapon for making your leads more emotive and adding dynamic flair to chords. And with its sturdy steel construction, the Bigsby stays in tune through even the wildest whammy antics.
Versatile Tonal Controls
To shape the G5232T's tone, you have an array of intuitive controls at your fingertips. Individual pickup volume knobs let you blend the neck and bridge as desired, from parallel humbucker crunch to searing single-coil bite. The master tone and volume with treble-bleed circuit fine-tunes the EQ curve and retains high-end clarity when rolling back the guitar's output. Experiment and find your signature voice.
