Gretsch exists almost as a window to a different era of guitars. You’d never look at a Gretsch and think it looks futuristic, but that’s not the point. A Gretsch guitar has always meant high grade and vintage-flavoured and they excel at this, but with great quality comes a matching price tag, putting a ‘real’ Gretsch out of reach for most. The Electromatic range solves this by offering the same iconic designs but producing the guitars in Korea. This Gretsch G5622T-CB Electromatic is one such example, cramming tonnes of interesting features into a package, which while still not cheap, is certainly more accessible.
