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. 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 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. 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.

Wow!!
The guitar is well made for an import. Its craftsmanship equals or surpasses USA guitars. The pickups are good. Fit and finish is flawless. The sound is vintage, but can be modern too! The body is chambered giving it a nice mellow tone. I love the way this guitar plays and sounds! The Bigsby is solid and stays in tune. The nut is also well made and does not cause any binding like you see in Les Paul's. I highly recommend this guitar whether you are a beginner or a long time guitar player like myself 50+ years!
