Gretsch G5222 Electromatic Double Jet BT V-Stoptail Black
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.
