Pure jet power
In its 65-year history, the Gretsch Jet has been the distinctive sound of iconic players. The all-new G5230T Electromatic Jet FT Single-Cut with Bigsby captures the essential power and fidelity of the Jet at an incredible price.
Chambered mahogany body – Strong and clear
Jet’s classic sound begins with a mahogany body chambered with a maple top that produces full lows and mids with an exceptionally smooth and present top end. The result is a deep Acoustic base that is both robust and balanced.
Black Filter’Tron microphones – Power and clarity par excellence
Black Top Filter’Tron pickups amplify and accentuate the Electromatic Jet FT’s chambered body to produce a wide, balanced and transparent sound. Loud and punchy, this Jet sounds with remarkable definition at any gain level. Together, the body and pickups thunder with full, responsive lows and mids with a high end that sparkles without spikes.
Total tone control
The Electromatic Jet FT is equipped with essential features that give you total tone control. The combination of individual controls for microphone volume, master tone and master volume with treble filter allows intuitive overall control of your microphone and tone settings.
