This Elmtc G5622T is a seriously cool instrument. It’s got that classic Gretsch vibe – that unmistakable chime and growl – but the centre block makes it surprisingly manageable. It's a fantastic choice for players who love that vintage tone and want a semi-hollow body that can handle a range of styles, from blues and rockabilly to indie and alt-country.

- • Maple top provides a bright, snappy response complementing the BroadTrons.
CONS
- • The thin 'U' neck might not suit players preferring a thicker profile.
- • Speyside finish, while beautiful, can be prone to fingerprints and smudging.
- • While versatile, it's not a shred machine; more suited to rhythm and lead work.

Frequently Asked Questions
BroadTrons are thicker and more controlled than P90s, retaining clarity while offering a more refined, less brittle tone – a good compromise between a P90 and a full humbucker.
The thin 'U' profile is generally comfortable, but players with very large hands might find it a touch slim. It’s best to try one in person if possible.
The Bigsby B70 is well-integrated and generally provides good tuning stability, though extreme vibrato use may require occasional retuning, as with any tremolo system.
