Used And Vintage Electric Guitars

Have we got a great deal on an high quality electric 12-string! Here for you is this amazing Gretsch G5422G-12, a model we've carried for years and have found to be one of the best electric 12 string guitars out there, especially for the price.

This Gretsch gives you the best of '50s and '60s Gretsch guitars both sonically and aesthetically. What you get is the classic Gretsch laminated maple hollow-body with beautiful binding. It also has a trestle block design that gives you more sustain and articulation. You'll love the feel of its comfy Classic "C" shaped maple neck with a 12" radius and laurel fingerboard. Lets talk pickups! This Gretsch G5422G-12 has FT-5E Filter-Tron humbuckers which pay homage to the classic Filter'Trons but with an additional clarity for the jangle of this fine 12-string. 

More premium features include versatile upgraded controls including master volume with treble bleed circuit, master tone, individual pickup volume controls and three-position tone switch, oversized bound F-holes, multi-ply body binding, smaller late-'50s G6120 bound headstock, sealed die-cast tuning machines, Graph Tech® NuBone® nut, historic pearloid Hump Block inlays, secured Adjusto-Matic™ bridge and a Gretsch G-cutout tailpiece.

This instrument is in excellent condition and comes with a gig bag.  It's been setup professionally by the techs in our shop (especially important on a guitar like this).  It's a score for anyone looking for a great 12-string electric!
