Description
Here's the Gretsch G5230T Electromatic Jet FT Single-Cut with Bigsby in Orange Stain, a great fit if you're an intermediate player, gigging musician, or just after that unmistakable Jet vibe without breaking the bank. This model brings together classic Gretsch design and tone, capturing the spirit of the iconic Jet used by everyone from rock legends to indie players. The standout orange finish, paired with that Bigsby tailpiece, really gives it that stage-ready personality.
The chambered mahogany body with a maple top delivers a balanced sound, thick lows, clear mids, and a smooth, present high end. Paired up with Black Top Filter'Tron pickups, you get punch and definition whether you're playing clean or adding gain. The three-way pickup selector and individual pickup volume controls, plus a master tone and master volume with treble bleed, let you dial in anything from vintage twang to modern grit. The anchored Adjusto-Matic bridge and Bigsby add both tuning stability and expressive playing options.
Comfort-wise, the thin "U" neck feels fast and substantial, while the medium jumbo frets and 12" laurel fingerboard make bends and chords feel natural. The whole setup feels solid and reliable for gigging or studio work. We've had a lot of success with these Electromatic Jets; they offer authentic Gretsch feel and tone at a great price point.
