Gretsch G5230T Electromatic Sparkle Jet FT Single-Cut with Bigsby

The Gretsch Sparkle Jet that shows how vintage style and modern playability come together

The Gretsch G5230T Electromatic Sparkle Jet FT is a guitar that immediately stands out. The Aged White finish with sparkling sparkle-finish and Bigsby B50 tailpiece gives this instrument a timeless look rarely seen in this price range. But the G5230T is more than a beautiful guitar: it is a versatile instrument that feels at home in rock, blues, country and everything in between.

The mahogany body delivers a warm, full tone with a natural resonance that you immediately feel when you pick up the guitar. The two FT-5E Filtertron humbuckers are the signature Gretsch sound: clear, articulate and full of character. They respond well to dynamics and sound just as good clean as with a touch of overdrive. The separate volume controls per pickup and a master tone give you direct control over your sound.

The mahogany neck with Thin U-profile and laurel fretboard with 12" radius plays smoothly and comfortably, even for beginners. With 22 frets and a 24.6" scale length, the guitar is easy to play. The Adjusto-Matic bridge in combination with the Bigsby B50 gives you subtle vibrato possibilities without the guitar quickly going out of tune. The Pearloid Neo-Classic thumbnail inlays and die-cast sealed tuners complete the package.

A guitar that not only looks great, but also immediately inspires you to play.
