Black Top Broad'Tron pickups with Gretsch circuit.
Gretsch chooses two Black Top Broad'Tron pickups as the pickup for the G5222LH Electromatic Double Jet BT Lefthand.

The Black Top Broad'Trons are controlled by the classic Gretsch 3-way circuit, which adds separate volume controls for each pickup and a treble cutoff and master volume.
Encapsulated die-cast tuners on the headstock of the G5222LH Electromatic Double Jet Lefthand guarantee accurate and stable tuning.

At the headstock, encapsulated die-cast tuners also ensure precise tuning with unshakable stability.
Fantastic sounding guitar with that great Gretsch look, very little required to the perfect setup, small adjustment of the intonation and string height to my personal preference. The guitar has great grunt and resonance. Love the translucent top.
