This Jet is a seriously cool package. The chambered mahogany body and Broad'tron pickups give you a vintage Gretsch vibe without the premium price tag. It’s a great choice for players wanting that classic rock/blues tone and comfortable feel, especially those who appreciate a shorter scale length for easier bending.

Frequently Asked Questions

The 'thin U' is noticeably slimmer than some of the older, thicker Gretsch necks, making it more accessible for modern players.
They’re voiced to provide a hotter output than typical vintage-style humbuckers, but aren't excessively overwound; they retain a good amount of clarity.
The Adjusto-Matic bridge and V-Stoptail are a definite step up from simpler tailpieces and improve tuning stability considerably, but may still require occasional adjustments.
