The all-new G6228TG-PE Players Edition Jet™ BT with Bigsby® and
Gold Hardware 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 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
Responding to players’ need for increased comfort, the Jet BT features a
lowered neck set that greatly improves fret-hand mobility while also giving
the picking hand a closer approach, increasing comfort and accuracy. Our
new full-access rolled cutaway and tapered heel allows the free access to
upper frets without awkward pivoting or palm obstruction. This sleek design
remains hidden, preserving a vintage aesthetic – a critical feature that is
meant to be felt, not seen.
The Jet BT also comes equipped with additional Players Edition features
that give you total control of your tone and performance, including no-load
master tone pot with Squeezebox™ paper-in-oil capacitor, master volume
with treble bleed circuit and individual pickup volume controls.
