What a beauty we have here, a Mint Gretsch G5230T Electromatic Jet FT, single Cutaway w/ Bigsby in Metallic Aleutian Blue w/like New Gretsch Hardshell Case. This really is a New guitar as we can't find a mark or scratch on it. In image 1 & 2 you might think you see scratch above the treble arm of the Bigsby but it is just simply a blade of grass! And this is not just a looker but quite the player!

Serial #CYG23080103

We ship mostly UPS through Staples pickup but use other sources too! And we ship on Tuesdays and Thursdays/Fridays. Staples is a half hour drive each way so we try not to waste time and some weeks we combine shipping days. We are also the best of shippers, well Rory is!

There are no breaks or repairs on these guitars, and they are not stamped, used or are they 2nd’s
 and not a B-stock or a blem models.

And please realize that the price of shipping reflects the fact that these guitars comes in a cases, so therefore it adds to the weight & size of the package.  

Pre-Owned items are sold as-is, sale is final and therefore no returns!

At Rocking the Shack, we like guitars in cases, nice and safe! And are also big fans of strap locks! Pickguards are also nice since they do protect the finish!   
At the Shack we do set-ups but only when requested by customer, ( a $90.00 - $120.00 charge) Unless, at times we feel that a set up would really benefit an instrument then we just do it. 
Of course every guitar deserves a good set up with new strings. 

In the Shack we keep climate control conditions all year round and the instruments live in a smoke free environment in their cases!  
As mentioned before we love cases and strap locks for the safety and protection they offer.  Need we say more!   

Pick guards are also nice for protection of the body and when matched up right they can bring out the hidden beauty in an instrument! 

  We pride ourselves in offering quality working beautiful instruments for sale. We are great communicators and the best packers and shippers. We ship with Reverb protection throughout the states and UPS mostly. 

*Important note*
We use to sell and ship to Canada using UPS, but cannot anymore due to the hidden fee’s of UPS which are added to the custom shipping fee's upon delivery. And in the end the Canadian customer would have to pay! We will only Ship to Canada using USPS or other services!

We spend the time needed to make sure you are a happy customer. It gives us great joy to know someone is playing and enjoying an instrument we have worked on and owned. 

Thanks so much for your interest! 

Marcus & Rory @ Rocking the Shack

 Pure Jet Power

In its 65-year existence the Gretsch Jet has been the hallmark sound for iconic players. The all-new G5230T Electromatic Jet FT Single-Cut with Bigsby captures that essential Jet power and fidelity.

Chambered Mahogany Bodies — Loud and Clear

Classic Jet tone begins with a chambered mahogany body with 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 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 with 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 treble bleed circuit provides intuitive global control over your pickup and tone settings.
