Pure Jet Power, At An Affordable Price
For more than six decades now, the Gretsch Jet has been gracing the airwaves with its instantly-recognisable tone, and has been seen in the hands of some truly iconic players.
The Gretsch G5230T manages to bring the essence of those vintage guitars to an entry level model suitable for aspiring professionals and more experienced players alike.
Class and Style in Abundance
Featuring a chambered Mahogany body topped with a piece of Maple, a pair of Black Top Filter'Tron pickups, professional-grade electronics system, a Bigsby Vibrato stoptail, and much more besides, this guitar is beautiful in every sense of the word.
Filter'Tron Pickups
Just like the Gretsch Jets of yesteryear, the G5230T comes equipped with a pair of Black Top Filter'Tron humbuckers. These pickups work perfectly in tandem with the Jet FT's chambered body, and produce a wide, balanced and transparent tone.
Their sound is often described as loud and punchy, but don't let this deter you - even at high gain levels, these pickups produce a remarkable amount of definition.
In technical terms, the Black Top Filter'Trons produce full, responsive lows and mids, with just enough high end sparkle to retain their famous levels of clarity.
High End Electronics
Not only are the above mentioned pickups a fantastic addition to this guitar, but the electronic control system is designed to match. Featuring individual pickup Volume controls, alongside a Master Tone and Master Volume (with a built-in treble bleed circuit*), you get intuitive source-level tone-shaping control.
*The Treble Bleed circuit is designed to allow you to adjust the guitar's overall volume levels without negatively affecting your tone
