While Gretsch might be best known for their big-body guitars & rockabilly twang, the Jet sits more in the Les Paul area - but still with a sound that is uniquely Gretsch.
Gretsch makes a variety of Jet models at different price points (including in their Electromatic line), today, we’re taking a look at their top-end made-in Japan Players Edition model.
While it might not look like a semi hollow guitar at first glance, the Gretsch Players Edition Jet features a chambered (semi hollow) body, making it lightweight and giving it a bit more of an airy tone that you usually get with this style guitar.
Offered with either a Bigbsy tremolo or hardtail, the Gretsch Players Edition Jet features a mahogany body with an arched maple top - giving it a rich and dynamic tone.
The Tim Shaw-designed Broad'Tron pickups give you powerful mids, extended lows, and a clear high-end, without losing the unique sound Gretsch is famous for.
