Gretsch Electromatic G5415 Special Jet Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • Basswood body for light weight
  • Classic Gretsch humbucker tone
  • Fast-playing fretboard
    Basswood body for light weight
    Gretsch reinvented their Electromatic line by giving the G5415 Special Jet electric guitar a wonderfully lightweight basswood body. This basswood body isn't just lighter on your shoulder than traditional mahogany, its also lighter on tone, adding crisp treble and extra bite to the Special Jet's sound. But make no mistake, the G5415 Special Jet still gives you that great Gretsch sound!

    Classic Gretsch humbucker tone
    Gretsch has earned a reputation for producing high-quality pickups, and the G5415 Special Jet packs two humbuckers to give you the warm glow associated with '50s Gretsch guitars. Plug into your favorite tube amplifier and select both pickups to fill the room with organic resonance and smoky tones. But flip to the bridge humbucker and peg the volume knob, and you've got a hot, biting sound at your fingertips.

    Fast-playing fretboard
    The rosewood fretboard on the G5415 Special Jet sports a 12" radius, perfect for fast fretwork. You'll love how fluidly your fingers navigate this fretboard, which features 22 medium jumbo frets for effortless playability.

    Gretsch Electromatic G5415 Special Jet Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:
    • An incredibly affordable Gretsch guitar that gives you a traditional Gretsch experience at a great price
    • Color: Black
    • Instantly recognizable Jet body style is extremely comfortable to play

Gretsch G5415 Special Jet

by D. W. C. from Lawrence, KS (USA)
January 2, 2013
Music Background: Long time fan of blues, jazz, rock.
I have had this guitar for a month. The Gretsch "made in China" Electromatics are very well done. I gave it five stars, NOT because it is on par with high end products (obviously), but because it i... read more [+]s so damn fine for the amazing price!! And this does not just mean I consider it like others at the same price point... The finish is beautiful, I find no flaws anywhere. Came with good strings, good action, and it stays in tune! The neck is wonderful... I did a lot of research and there is a lot of agreement about these necks. Really plays well... mine is black, and the "black on black" look with the chrome pickups/bridge etc. is very sharp looking. Tuners are decent, and work well. You can always upgrade the pickups to TV Jones or the like, but these Gretsch Humbuckers are really quite fine....(I play clean, I understand there is a limit to how far you can push them.) Really happy with the tone through my VOX practice amp. Really good sustain. Again, what an amazing instrument for the money! Highly recommend this guitar. close [-]
