Gretsch Guitars

Description

This limited-edition G5237TG Electromatic Jet FT electric guitar is a pure and powerful instrument that's bold, dynamic and articulate, and crafted with essential Gretsch sound, style and playability.

Pure Jet Power

In its 65 year existence, the Gretsch Jet has been the hallmark sound for iconic players. The G5237TG Electromatic Jet FT FSR captures that essential Jet power and fidelity at an incredible price.

Chambered Mahogany Bodies—Loud and Clear

Classic Jet tone begins with a chambered mahogany body and a 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.

Impressive quality and stunning looks!

Been playing for decades but always owned Fender, Gibson and Epiphone in my collection. A couple months back I picked up a G5420T, my first Gretsch, and I was extremely impressed with the quality and gorgeous styling (orange stain). Once I caught the Gretsch fever, couldn't help myself when this stunning champagne white and gold Jet came up on sale. Once again, the QA on this second Gretsch was as good as the first, and much better than a recent Les Paul I also picked up. Love the unique sound of the Gretsch, and it plays very well. But mostly I'm just very impressed with these Gretsch guitars at these reasonable price points that are so well built. Everything is just well done, and both were well set up out of the box. And did I mention they are stunning looking? 😂. Impressed with both my Gretsch guitars and glad after all these years that I finally jumped in!

I would definitely buy this guitar again

I use the Gretsch G5237TG to play for my enjoyment, although this guitar would be great gigging with, it has a rich sweet tone that can be tuned in to some fat blues with the right effects. I picked the Gretsch over a Fender Jazzmaster ultra, and believe me, I am not sorry I did.

    This is my first brand new guitar. I was in the market for a while , and was overwhelmed by so many options. I couldn't be sure if I was making the right choice. At first I was looking for something that looked a bit more metal 🤘 but I'm glad I went with something versatile

    I bought this guitar while it was on sale. I tried it out in the store and I knew I needed to add it to my collection. The guitar just looks stunning. The finish has sparkles in it, and it really looks amazing in person. The Filtertron pickups sound quite good. I think it's an amazing guitar for the money, even when it's not on sale. Gretsch has good QC in my experience, and the guitar was set up really well. Overall, I highly recommend this guitar, and Gretsch in general.

  • I would buy another one to just hang on my wall

    Looks good in my hands and it looks good on my wall. It is an upgrade from my previous guitar, not only just in appearance but in quality of sound. It had a fret buzz at the store and when I changed the strings, the fret buzz was still there. Turns out, I just needed to get a bigger string size.

  • Best investment I made as a worship guitarist.

    This is the most crystal clear sound I've ever gotten from a guitar and I love the versatility I can get out of it. Very convenient to have the main volume knob up close for easy swells. Fantastic sound for a worship set.
