No-nonsense and full of character, the Electromatic® Jet™ FT models are real, pure, and powerful Gretsch® instruments—your next step into the bold, articulate world of Gretsch tone. Since 1953, the Jet has defined the sound of countless iconic players, and the G5230T Sparkle Jet™ FT captures that essential magic with stunning style and impressive value.

A chambered mahogany body with an arched maple top produces rich tone with acoustic resonance and balance. The lower-set mahogany neck offers effortless playability, while dual FT-5E Filter'Tron™ humbuckers serve up that unmistakable Gretsch power and clarity. Topped off with a Bigsby® B50 vibrato, anchored Adjusto-Matic™ bridge, and eye-catching sparkle finishes, this Jet is ready for anything.
