No nonsense, Electromatic® Jet™ FT models are the perfect real, pure and powerful Gretsch® instruments. They're your next-step Gretsch - bold, dynamic and articulate, and crafted with essential Gretsch sound, style and playability.

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.

FT-5E Filter'Tron™ Pickups - Quintessential Power and Clarity
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.
