Rated 5 out of 5

Bang for the buck

This is a very nice guitar, very substantial, came all set up without buzzes, everything fastened down tight and packed well. Right out of the boxes very playable and nice sounding to boot. Amazing sustain, best guitar I've played out of China. Granted I haven't bought a new guitar in a very long time but this I would compare to a $ axe from 10 years ago. Plus it's not a copy, you don't have that greasy feeling of buying something grey market like you would if you got a Chibson. Excellent quality control. These are proof that you can have a bona fide decent instrument for this price.

Very nice guitar for the money.

Very nice guitar for the money. I think the fit and finish exceeds what I've seen on other Chinese guitars.

Fills a very important void in a collection

Very happy to have this as the only Gretsch in my collection. There is something unique to them, in the tone, the feel, the construction. The finish was flawless, the tone is exceptional, the action and such was reasonably close out of the box, won't take a lot of tweaking to have it stage ready. Cranks out nice jazz and Malcolm Young's rhythm tones in one handy guitar.

Very nice guitar for the money. I think the fit and finish exceeds what I've seen on other Chinese guitars.

Electromatic Pro Jet models take on a new voice and identity, with chambered basswood bodies and arched maple tops that resonate true to That Great Gretsch Sound," a two-tone body color scheme (Black, Gold or Two-Tone Sunburst tops with Walnut-stained back and sides) and dual Black Top" Filter'Tron pickups. Other classic features include rosewood fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and hump block" inlays, three-position pickup toggle switch, anchored Adjusto-Matic bridge and stop tailpiece, G" arrow knobs, white pearloid Gretsch-logo pickguard and threaded/knurled strap buttons.
