Gretsch G5230T Electromatic Jet FT

The Gretsch G5230T Electromatic Jet FT is a solid-body electric guitar built with a chambered mahogany body and maple top. It carries the Jet lineage that began in 1953 and features FT-5E Filter'Tron pickups for versatile tone. The Thin "U" mahogany neck and laurel fingerboard provide a fast, comfortable feel.

Players wanting Filter'Tron chime and Bigsby vibrato

This model suits players who want classic Gretsch chime, a Bigsby vibrato tailpiece and a striking Gold Sparkle finish. It is less suited for buyers who prefer humbucker thickness, a fixed hardtail bridge or a slimmer modern neck profile.

Chambered mahogany body with maple top

The chambered mahogany body paired with a maple top creates a resonant acoustic foundation that shapes the guitar's core voice. This construction yields full lows, balanced mids and smooth highs before the pickups add their character.
