Gretsch G5230T Electromatic Jet Electric Guitar - Orange Stain
Serial Number: CYG25031509 Weight: 8 lbs 0 oz
Stellar Tone and Playability in a Classic Look
Plug the Gretsch G5230T Electromatic Jet into your favorite amp and crank it up! This single-cut 6-string's lightweight and chambered mahogany body supplies warm tones, exceptional sustain, and all the full-bodied resonance you can handle. A pair of Blacktop Filter’Tron pickups is reminiscent of vintage-sounding Gretsch humbucker tones, but infused with more single-coil-like bite. The G5230T also features a classic Gretsch control array for complete sonic control, including per-pickup Volume controls, a Master Tone knob, a 3-position pickup toggle, and, of course, that Gretsch-standard Master Volume at the cutaway. As for its playability, the G5230T's laurel-capped mahogany neck and thin U profile provide a classic yet comfortable feel for all players. Rounded out with the expressive freedom of a Bigsby B50 vibrato tailpiece for added textures, this G5230T Electromatic Jet is destined to become your next go-to axe for studio tracking and stage performances!
Light and resonant chambered mahogany body
In classic Gretsch Jet fashion, the G5230T comes structured with a maple-topped body of chambered mahogany that significantly reduces weight while subtly enhancing its natural resonance for a unique plugged-in tone. Perfect for tossing over the shoulder for longer set lists, the G5230T delivers that commanding single-cut, hourglass feel guitarists know and love, but with half the strain of a standard solidbody. Guitarists have paired this 6-string with a wide range of both solid-state and tube amplifiers, and the fact remains: the chambered G5230T will embody "That Great Gretsch Sound!" no matter what.
Blacktop Filter’Trons for classic dual-coil tones
Looking for a pickup set that supplies vintage-style Gretsch humbucker energy? You've come to the right place! Gretsch has appointed the G5230T with a pair of Blacktop Filter’Trons, coming to life with a distinct sonic character that's bright and open. The top end of these pickups provides superb mid-century shimmer that bites with near-single-coil presence, while their low end supplies more typical humbucker tone to complement the G5230T's resonant body. Experiment with both pickups, shape your tone with total ease, and effortlessly craft a sound to fit your vibe.
A Gretsch sounds better with a Bigsby!
Gretsch guitars and Bigsby vibrato bars have a long history of partnership that goes back over half a century. So, it's only fitting that Gretsch followed suit with this Electromatic Jet. The G5230T's Bigsby B50 "rocker bar"-style vibrato enables incredibly charming expressiveness for adding subtle pitch dipping to lush chord strums or a bit of wobble to sustained single notes. A perfect complement for a variety of genres, from country-western textures to attitude-laden rock ’n’ roll, this Bigsby B50 vibrato will give your tunes that extra nudge to capture everyone's attention.
