Gretsch Guitars

collapse expand iconDescription

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.

    ... my Dear Bride already scored one for my birthday, and I've been playing it for 3 months already. :) If you don't have one yet, hustle down to the store and give it a try. I think you'll be as happy as I am. Set up well, plays beautifully, stays in tune, even with Bigsby use. Only downside is my other guitars aren't getting much love these days.

  • This guitar is AMAZING!!

    Before you buy another Les Paul, (everyone needs one LP) you owe it to yourself to play an Electromatic Jet. Very well built and plays like a dream. The best part is that sound you can only get from a Gretsch. Whether it the Blacktop Filter Trons in the G5237TG or the FE-5's in the Pristine LTD, nothing sounds quit like a Gretsch.
