Electromatic Jets are excellent guitars that sound great and have that classic Gretsch style, and the G5230T is no different! The Electromatic Jet features the same construction recipe you'd find on its 1950's ancestors. It has a chambered body with set neck and a 3 ply maple top yielding a snappy tone that's great for a variety of music styles. The tone from the "Black Top" FilterTron humbuckers is very clean with low noise and plenty of bite. The bridge pickup is nice and snappy and the neck pickup has a much smoother "scooped" midrange and warm bass response. If you're looking to an alternate to the usual solidbody guitars you see on stages and in stores that has authentic vintage style then you must check out a Gretsch! We are a long standing fully authorized independent Gretsch guitar dealer. This is a brand new guitar and comes with the full Gretsch Limited lifetime factory warranty.
About the Guitar (from gretschguitars.com):
Pure Jet™ Power
In its 65 year existence the Gretsch Jet has been the hallmark sound for iconic players. The all-new G5230T Electromatic Jet™ FT Single-Cut with Bigsby captures that essential Jet power and fidelity at an incredible price.
Chambered Mahogany Bodies - Loud and Clear
Classic Jet tone begins with a chambered mahogany body with maple top that produces full lows and mids with an exceptionally smooth and present high end. The result is a deep acoustic foundation that is robust, yet balanced.
Black Top Filter'Tron™ Pickups - Quintessential Power and Clarity
Black Top Filter'Tron™ pickups amplify and accentuate the Electromatic Jet FT's chambered body to produce a wide, balanced and transparent tone. Loud and punchy, this Jet sounds out with remarkable definition at any level of gain. Together, the body and pickups thunder with full, responsive lows and mids with a high end that sparkles without spikes.
Total Tonal Control
The Electromatic Jet FT is equipped with essential features that give you complete tonal control. The combination of individual pickup volume controls, master tone and master volume with treble bleed circuit provides intuitive global control over your pickup and tone settings.
