Technical details of the Gretsch G5230T Jet FT Silver Sparkle

The basis of this model is a chambered mahogany body, which ensures a balanced sound with improved resonance and reduced weight. The single cutaway construction allows easy access to the higher positions of the fingerboard. The high-gloss Silver Sparkle finish gives the guitar a glamorous, retro-inspired look, while the white binding with black and white purfling provides a stylish contrast.

The mahogany neck is glued for excellent sustain transmission. The thin "U" profile ensures comfortable playability and is ideal for fast licks and chord playing alike. The laurel fretboard with a 12" (305 mm) radius and 22 medium jumbo frets provides an effortless feel with optimal control. The classic Pearloid Neo-Classic thumbnail inlays emphasize the legendary Gretsch look.

Sound and electronics: Filter'Tron Power

The Gretsch G5230T is equipped with two FT-5E Filter'Tron humbuckers, which provide the typical Gretsch twang with rich basses and brilliant trebles. These pickups offer a perfect balance between warmth, clarity and punch - ideal for rockabilly, blues, classic rock and even modern sounds.

The electronics are intuitive and versatile. It consists of two individual volume controls for the pickups (neck & bridge), a master volume control and a master tone control. The 3-way switch can be used to switch between the pickups or combine both to create a wide range of sounds - from clean, twangy tones to powerful, saturated leads.

The Anchored Adjusto-Matic Bridge ensures precise intonation and stable string guidance. The hardware is complemented by die-cast tuners, which ensure reliable and precise tuning.

The pickguard in Silver Plexi with Gretsch logo blends seamlessly into the design, while the G-Arrow knobs round off the classic Gretsch flair. The guitar is strung with .010 - .046 Nickel Plated Steel strings, which offers an optimal combination of flexibility and fullness of sound.
