Player's Perspective

We're seeing a lot of companies releasing reissue versions of classic instruments these days. With this Players Edition Gretch G6228, you get a smooth and warm vintage tone with incredible modern playability. It's got a neck that feels great to hold onto and overall fit and finish that really feel like a boutique instrument. While looking like Gretsch's of old, this guitar still manages to make some improvements on the traditional design. Tonally, this axe has a great old-school vibe to it and it sounds great with a little bit of ovedrive to it. But unlike the guitars of yesteryear, you don't have to try out 20 different ones to find one that's done perfectly. The consistency is fantastic and the playability is extremely smooth.

This is an awesome Players Edition Gretsch that is ready for hobbyists and pros alike.

Manufacturer's Description

Power, Fidelity & Complete Tonal Control

The all-new G6228 Players Edition Jet™ BT with V-Stoptail 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

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