collapse expand iconDescription

The G6228TG-PE Players Edition Jet BT electric guitar from Gretsch Guitars is designed to deliver powerful overdrive and shimmering cleans at the stomp of a switch. Each Jet BT begins with a select 1.85" mahogany body and maple top that produces a strong, balanced midrange, while the chambered body delivers a smooth attack and extended bandwidth that is remarkably wide and harmonically rich. This powerful platform is fueled by Gretsch Broad'Tron BT65 pickups which capture the guitar's sonic palette and reproduce powerful mids, extended lows and an exceptionally clear, yet smooth high end.

The G6228TG-PE Jet BT also features a lowered neck set that greatly improves fret-hand mobility while also giving the picking hand a closer approach, increasing comfort and accuracy. Plus, a full-access rolled cutaway and tapered heel allows the free access to upper frets without awkward pivoting or palm obstruction. It also comes with a string-thru Bigsby B7 vibrato tailpiece for adding more flair to your performance and gold hardware adding more flair to your instrument.

    I've been playing the 6 string for 50+ years and owned over 100 different guitars and taking into account that every one likes some different this instrument is in a class by itself. I will say specifically if you're thinking about buying a Gibson Les Paul this guitar is heads and tails above any Les Paul ever made. I won't compare this guitar with any Fender Stratocaster because they are two very different guitars and it would be like comparing apples and oranges. That aside, if you're considering any other type of solid body six string with humbuckers this guitar is the finest factory made instrument that money can buy. The Japanese are truly very fine luthiers and they are indeed perfectionists when it comes to making stringed instruments and this is an example of what they produce. This isn't an inexpensive guitar but you really only get what you pay for. So as I said, if you're thinking about buying a Gibson Les Paul go play one of these instruments first and you'll see for yourself this guitar is the best there is in a solid body humbucking guitar and you'll be more than satisfied with your choice. It's a guitar you'll have for life!

    This guitar is truly something special! The colorways are very cool, the gold hardware set the whole design off, the bt65 pickups are nice and warm but also bite good when you dig in a bit with some overdrive. The guitar sits well in a mix and leads stand out. Great for church music.
