Description

The all-new G6228 Players Edition Jet BT with "V" Stoptail gives you powerful overdrive and shimmering cleans with the infamous Gretsch vibe..

Each Jet BT begins with a select 1.85" mahogany body with maple top that produces a strong, balanced mid-range while the chambered body delivers a smooth attack and extended bandwidth that is remarkably wide and harmonically rich.

This powerful platform is fueled by all-new Gretsch Broad'Tron BT65 pickups. Designed by the famed Tim Shaw, the BT65 meticulously captures the guitar's sonic palette and reproduces powerful mids, extended lows and an exceptionally clear, yet smooth high end. The result is the perfect mixture of wall-shaking power and full-spectrum fidelity that delivers unparalleled overdrive and shimmering cleans.

The Jet BT comes equipped with the Players Edition premium feature set, providing you with total control of your tone.

    I was between this and a gold top, but was scared off by the quality control and value prospect of a Gibson right now. I pulled the trigger on the Cadillac green jet and couldn't be happier. This thing was impeccable and was set up perfectly right out of the case. I was actually really bummed because the rosewood was a little dry and I knew I was going to have a reset it to oil the fingerboard. I kept hearing about the quality of the MIJ Gretsch's and they certainly didn't disappoint. The Broadtrons really do help fulfill that PAF itch as well.
