Player's Perspective

Music Store Live is proud to present this Gretsch Players Edition Jet G6228!

This axe begs to be played, but it also likes being looked at. The flame top is well figured and well bookmatched. This guitar oozes with boutique and vintage beauty. It's not a slave to the past but certainly pays homage to it in a very authentic looking, feeling, and sounding way. The flame maple is likely to be the first thing that'll grab your attention, but additional touches such as the block inlays, body and fretboard binding, and that matching headstock really tie the complete package together. But pulling it out of the case and admiring its beauty is just the beginning.

It is a player's dream come true. Obviously, this axe is long on looks but the playability is just as high quality and noteworthy. The neck profile and the finish equal out to an extremely fast and very comfortable rock and roll machine. The body is weighted very nicely and balances well played sitting or standing up. These pickups clamor like the hands of the gods. The Broad'Tron pickups are powerful and they pack enough mid-range punch to handle distorted and saturated tones particularly well. This beast is the perfect match for any player with an inkling towards rock and roll, country, blues, rockabilly and anything that loves high octane twang with some grit behind it!

Flawless playability, beautiful aesthetics, and terrific tone.

Manufacturer's Description

Power, Fidelity & Complete Tonal Control
The all-new G6228FM Players Edition Jet™ BT Single-Cut with V-Stoptail and Flame Maple gives you powerful overdrive and shimmering cleans at the stomp of a switch.

Chambered Mahogany Bodies — Thick and Acoustically Rich
Each Jet BT begins with a select 1.85" mahogany body with tiger flame maple top that produces a strong, balanced mid-range, while the chambered body delivers a smooth attack and extended bandwidth that is remarkably wide and harmonically rich.

Broad'Tron™ BT65 Pickups – Power & Fidelity
This powerful platform is fueled by all-new Gretsch Broad'Tron™ BT65 pickups. Designed by the famed Tim Shaw, the BT65 meticulously captures the guitar's sonic palette and reproduces powerful mids, extended lows and an exceptionally clear, yet smooth high-end. The result is the perfect mixture of wall-shaking power and full-spectrum fidelity that delivers unparalleled overdrive and shimmering cleans — all at the stomp of a switch.

Players Edition Comfort, Control & Performance
The Jet™ BT comes equipped with the Players Edition premium feature set, providing you with total control of your tone.
