Key Features
Product Ref: 279676
This model's body has been crafted into a jumbo cutaway shape, which provides a comfortable playing experience combined alongside great projection. Its nipped-in waist and curvaceous shape allows players to sit with this distinctive instrument on the knee for long sets and hours of joyful practice.
Traditionally, the jumbo shape is perfect for more meaty chord work, however the G5022CE's construction, combined with the mixture of tonewoods, makes it beautifully balanced across the tonal spectrum. Its big body also produces a deep and resonant bottom-end. Ideal for a wide range of genres and playing styles, the Rancher also makes it easier for players to perform more technical skills due to its Venetian cutaway. This profile promotes the access to upper fingerboard shredding and offers easy access to more challenging chords.
The Gretsch G5022CE features a solid spruce top which yields crisp articulation, while also delivering a broad dynamic range. Its stunning, solid, spruce top generates a versatile tonality that is accommodates numerous techniques from light fingerpicking styles to more aggressive strumming patterns with equal ease. Combined with laminated flame maple back and sides, the Rancher Jumbo has a bright attack with plenty of bite. Its maple body projects its expansive tone with superb volume, offering players a rich, full-sounding Gretsch tonality that is well-suited to a wide range of genres and playing styles.
Constructed from mahogany, this model's neck produces a rich, resonant sound that responds greatly to many different playing styles. It has been topped with a rosewood fingerboard that not only offers a smooth and energetic playing experience but adds a sonic warmth to the overall sound. For added beauty, the fingerboard is sprinkled with neo-classic thumbnail markers, inlaid in white pearloid with vintage size frets.
In order to further enhance this model, it comes equipped with a Fishman Isys+ preamp that ensures the G5022CE is perfectly suited to live and rehearsal environments. Its on-board preamp features basic controls for sound tweaking, including rotary controls for bass, treble, and volume. It also features a phase button for reducing undesirable feedback when plugged-in within live settings. For added convenience, the preamp also comes with a built-in tuner, providing players with a bright easy-readable LED screen, making tuning up or down precise and easy within the darkest of venues.
The G5022CE combines the traditional 1950s model with modern design and construction techniques to provide players with modern playability and a stunning yet signature Gretsch appearance.
