Limited Edition Gretsch G5422TG Electromatic - All Playing, No Talking 

I like them better than HS filtertrons and tv Jones.

@@nicholaschavira1743 what about the bigsby?...

How do you compare it to a Epi Casino?

I've never played the Epiphone casino. I pretty much stay away from Epiphone or Gibson. To many fakes have flooded the market and even the popular music stores are selling Chibsons. I had to return a brand new 1400$ Jimmy page fender telecaster because it was straight junk! I guess sometimes it's hit or miss. FYI, Guitar center is doing a 180 day try and return policy from it's 90 day.

🔵 I own both models 5422 in white and 5622 in walnut ,and bought them within a couple months of each other ; i play lighter finger style like this , both are chimey for sure ; they are not far from one another in terms of tone you can achieve ; my 5622 is fitted with super Hilo'trons and brings out every nuance on the fretboard ; I would recommend either one and base my decision on whether you prefer Hollow vs semi-hollow center bloc and filter'tron vs super Hilo'tron and thinner depth body vs the even thinner body 5622

That's basically where I'm at in my decision process except I heard they discontinued the hilotrons in the 5622. So I guess my decision I more down to hollow vs semi 🙃

Hi I am also short, 5' 4" with small hands. I discovered that the Gretsch G2655T is the Grtesch Guitar for me. The Jr. has a smaller lower bout and thus easier and more comfortable for me. I had a Gretsch G5420GT which I loved but not comfortable to play for me. so I gifted it to my Grandson who is 6"3 LOL I also have a Guild X-175 Manhattan w/o bigsby.with beautiful sounding single coil pickups but again just a little too large for me. I might sell or trade it for a smaller Gretsch guitar. I love the sound of the G5222 but I think the lower bout is pretty large.

Do it. You won’t regret.

He used a little studio 10 v2 in Tweed. There 99-115$. There amazing amps(RU-vid it). I bought one and you basically don't need any pedals it's got 12 fx modes(reverb,delay and tremolo). They have a 20 and a 40 and a 60 Watt and only 25$ more for each version. The larger versions have a hookup for effect pedals. To bad the store I bought the amp from only had the studio 10, but still worth every penny.

That's actually a £600 valve amp!

It’s got gold hardware!

Mainly just gotta work on the fingerpicking dynamics, nothing pops out enough because you can tell your fingers don’t have that sensitive touch to make certain notes POP more than others to create a melodic rhythm section

It's beautiful
