Pure Jet Power
Since 1953 the Gretsch Jet has been the hallmark sound for iconic players. The G5230T Electromatic Sparkle Jet™ FT 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 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.

The FT-5E Filter’Tron pickups provide classic chime with enhanced presence, clarity and note definition, making them extremely versatile and well suited for a wide range of styles. Together, the body and pickups thunder with full, responsive lows, clear mids, and a high end that sparkles without spikes.
