Description
The G6228 Players Edition Jet BT features all-new pickups, a select mahogany body, and the remarkable performance synonymous with Gretsch Players Edition guitars. Its chambered mahogany body provides the best combination of lightweight feel and resonance, with a 1.85" body depth that aids in your picking attack for a fully-realized sound and in-hand feel. This guitar is also unique in its V-Stoptail, making it a great alternative to Jet models with Bigsby vibrato systems. The G6228 also features Gretsch's all-new Broad'Tron BT65 pickups, which were designed by renowned pickup guru Tim Shaw. They are designed for versatility first - a well-balanced overall sound that not only cleans up nicely, but has plenty of power for overdriven tone.
