They're your next-step Gretsch—bold, dynamic, and articulate, crafted with essential Gretsch sound, style, and playability.

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 and a 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 perfectly 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, complemented by 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 a treble bleed circuit provides intuitive, global control over your pickup and tone settings.
