Reviews

The True Black-Beauty!

by Eric Porter from Veto, Ohio
February 8, 2010
Music Background: Guitar hobbist nearly 40 years with Country & Gospel music.
I purchased my Gretsch Pro Jet 4-weeks ago, and was honestly overwhelmed when I opened the package from Sweetwater. This guitar really brought back memories of a mid 80’s Country Gentleman I had for ... read more [+]a few years, but traded away because I was beginning to wear-away the gold plating and it had a longer scale length.
This Pro Jet black-beauty has the unique Gretsch quality. The finish is flawless. The action, as received, was right. I have enjoyed well over 100-hours of playing this fine true fretboard already, and can truthfully say it looks, feels, plays and sounds like a Gretsch. I like the anchored bridge, the smaller body size, the light weight, and am indeed proud to own this one.
Negatives?
The mini-humbuckers sound good, but are really poo-poo in output. My Peavey Vyper amp has a 0-13 volume knob, (which was set at “4˝” with my Gibson), and is now all the way up to “10” for the Pro Jet. This is a super looking guitar, so why didn’t Gretsch go ahead with the black instead of walnut stained back?
Conclusion: The Pro Jet still is very impressive. It is a true great guitar for the money. Buy it; you will have no regrets.

Sweetwater Advice

Carson McClain
This is a real looker when it comes to guitars. I spotted this in the Sweetwater guitar room and my mouth dropped. Very nice.
Nick Schenkel
This guitar is an amazing value! Finally, an affordable way to capture that early-Beatles, George Harison tone. Pair this baby up with a Vox AC-15 and you've got the British Invasion sound for just about a grand.

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer is the best. If I need it tomorrow, I have it tomorrow. He makes sure everything is in order and that I'm set up right. I've spent a lot of money at other places, too, but I don't remember them calling me to make sure everything's okay.
