Description
Unleash your creative potential with the Gretsch G5566 Baritone/Standard Double-Neck electric guitar. Crafted for musicians who crave versatility, this unique instrument seamlessly merges two guitars into one, offering both a standard-tuned neck and a baritone neck. The standard neck delivers the classic tones you know and love, while the baritone neck, with its 29.75" scale length, opens up a world of deep, resonant sound perfect for bass-like grooves or cinematic soundscapes.
Each neck is equipped with two Gretsch humbuckers that deliver the warm, vintage tones synonymous with the brand, while the baritone neck features mini humbuckers for those rich, low-end frequencies. The dual Bigsby licensed tailpieces add a touch of vintage flair, allowing you to execute smooth, expressive bends with ease. Whether you're exploring new sonic territories or doubling down on your favorite riffs, the G5566 offers unparalleled flexibility.
Designed with a rosewood fretboard and a bound body, this guitar is as much a visual masterpiece as it is a sonic powerhouse. Dual 3-way pickup switches and a single 2-way neck selector switch offer precise control over your sound, making it an ideal companion for any musician looking to expand their musical horizons.

Mods and upgrades

Swapping minibuckers for P90s on the G5566 requires mounting plates or DIY options like stacked wooden craft sticks due to cable routing issues.
Source -
P90s may require additional routing if existing shims for minibuckers interfere, affecting the depth and string distance needed for the new pickups.
