Description

Body and Neck
The G5220 Jet uses the tried and tested formula of a mahogany body with a maple top. This combo provides the guitar with a warm tone with plenty of sustain and attack. Jets have historically been chambered and this one continues that tradition. This chambering provides the Jet with a very open, resonant tone that provides a unique dynamic to your sound that really complements almost any genre.

The neck on the guitar is comfortable to play thanks to a few things. The thin “U” profile neck has rounded shoulders which is great for playing chords and wrapping your thumb around the neck, but the thinner profile makes it less cumbersome than a traditional “U” shape neck. The fingerboard radius is 12” which is flat enough to comfortably play single note runs and solos but not to the point where it might make playing chords more difficult.

Electronics and Hardware
The Black Top Broad’Tron pickups are well balanced and more of a traditional humbucker design than the traditional Filter’Trons. Broad’Trons sacrifice a bit of articulation in exchange for a more powerful and balanced tone but still have impressive definition for a humbucker. Broad’Trons sound great clean playing jazz and blues-y genres and really come alive when you turn up the gain for some punchier rock styles.
