Gretsch Guitars G6129T Players Edition Jet FT With Bigsby Electric Guitar Red Sparkle


Description
Chambered Mahogany Bodies - Fat, Full and Acoustically Rich
Like its forebearers, the Jet FT begins with a select mahogany body with maple top that produces the signature strong, punchy response that has made the Jet famous. For the Players Edition Jet FT, a 1.85" depth along with modern chambering is used to deliver a tighter, more controlled attack that still retains incredible articulation.
High-Sensitive Filter'Tron Pickups - Classic Power and Clarity
A pair of High Sensitive Filter'Tron pickups complements the Jet FT's chambered body to produce a wide, balanced and transparent tone that is equally adept at cutting through the mix or laying solid sonic foundation.
Players Edition Comfort, Control & Performance
Responding to players' need for increased comfort, the Jet FT features a lowered neck set that greatly improves fret-hand mobility while also giving the picking hand a closer approach, increasing comfort and accuracy. The new full-access rolled cutaway and tapered heel allows the free access to upper frets without awkward pivoting or palm obstruction. This sleek design remains hidden, preserving a vintage aesthetic—a critical feature that is meant to be felt, not seen.
The Jet FT comes equipped with additional Players Edition features that give you total control of your tone and performance.

This guitar is perfect, it's worth the money. Several of the features I wish were on all my guitars and should be standard on all high-end Gretsch guitars: The anchored bridge is a must, string-through Bigsby, locking tuners, and Grover strap locks. I'm am thankful for all those features. The playability is phenomenal. The shape of the neck feels amazing, I love the new shape and rounding to the neck joint, it feels fast. The sustain is incredible, the action doesn't feel too high, the un-amplified resonance is impressive. These Filtertron pickups ring like a bell and sound brighter, to my ear, than other FT pups. Clean tones are it's strength but this Gretsch has adjustable tone so you can really dial it in for pedals. The electronics are high end, very responsive, and exceptional quality. No flickering, crackling, cutting. Excellent, honestly, silent and seamless. The fit and finish is flawless. I would say it's as nice as anything you could realistically expect out of any guitar maker, sets the benchmark. The red sparkle top is the right amount of wild without crossing a line, it's dazzling under the light. I find myself staring. I truly love this instrument.
