Overview

No nonsense, pure Gretsch power. Electromatic® Jet™ FT models are the perfect real, pure, and powerful Gretsch® instruments. They're your next-step Gretsch — bold, dynamic, and articulate, crafted with essential Gretsch sound, style, and playability.

Pure Jet Power

In its 65-year existence, the Gretsch Jet has been the hallmark sound for iconic players. The 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 a maple top that produces full lows and mids with a smooth, present high end. The result is a deep acoustic foundation that is robust yet balanced.

Black Top Filter'Tron™ Pickups — Power and Clarity

Black Top Filter'Tron pickups amplify the chambered body to produce a wide, balanced, and transparent tone. Loud and punchy, this Jet delivers remarkable definition at any gain level.

Total Tonal Control

Individual pickup volume controls, master tone, and master volume with treble bleed provide intuitive global control over your sound.
