Introduced at Winter NAMM 2012, the 5022 brought back the classic Rancher vibe (albeit noticeably devoid of western trappings) in a newly engineered and sonically improved package. And the best part: a bargain $700 list price.

Features included scalloped x bracing, 1940s-style pickguard with Gretsch logo, compensated bridge with rosewood base, gold-plated hardware, onboard Fishman electronics with a Sonicore under-saddle pickup and a 'Savannah Sunset' orange finish.

Seven examples are in the Gretsch-GEAR database.
