Gretsch G6228TG Players Edition Jet BT Guitar with Bigsby and Gold Hardware, Ebony Fretboard, Walnut Stain

Player's Perspective

Music Store Live is proud to offer up this Players Edition G6228FM Jet BT from our friends over at Gretsch. The Bigsby is reliable and allows for beautiful whammy fluttering while still providing solid intonation and sustain.

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.
