From Our Research Team:A Fine Gretsch Archtop for an Amazing Low Price!The Gretsch Electromatic G5435T Pro Jet electric guitar is the perfect way to get your hands on a real Gretsch archtop for a wonderful low price. The G5435T Pro Jet offers you the lightweight and warm sound of a chambered basswood body with a maple top. A pair of "Black Top" Filter'Tron pickups let you tap into the definitive tone of Gretsch's classic humbucker design, and the G5435T Pro Jet's Bigsby Licensed B50 tailpiece gives you easy access to smooth and subtle bends. And it comes from Sweetwater, you know your Gretsch G5435T Pro Jet will play beautifully, right out of the box.Gretsch Electromatic G5435T Pro Jet Archtop Electric Guitar at a Glance:
Basswood body with an arched maple top brings a new voice to the Electromatic line Gretsch reinvented their Electromatic line by giving the G5435T Pro Jet electric guitar a wonderfully lightweight and resonant chambered 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 Pro Jet's sound. You'll find that this quality complements the Pro Jet's maple archtop perfectly, imbuing this guitar with a character all of its own. But make no mistake, the G5435T Pro Jet still gives you that great Gretsch sound! Black Top Filter'Tron pickups give you classic Gretsch humbucker tone When you want that classic '50s-era archtop guitar tone, you need real Gretsch humbuckers. That's why Gretsch gave their G5435T Pro Jet a pair of "Black Top" Filter'Tron pickups. Unlike most humbuckers, these traditional Gretsch pickups give you a characteristically bright and open sound that's jangly on your highs with an almost single-coil bite. Their more typically humbucker-sounding bass also compliments the G5435T Pro Jet's resonant body, adding woody thump and bark to its lower register. Vintage-style Bigsby B50 tailpiece lets you preform smooth and subtle bends Nothing beats the character and vintage vibe that a real Bigsby-style tail piece adds to the G5435T Pro Jet. Based on the original design created by Paul A Bigsby, this Bigsby Licensed B50 tailpiece requires next to no effort to use, making it particularly easy to pull off slow, subtle, and extended bends with the Gretsch G5435T Pro Jet guitar.

NOT LIKE MOST GRETSCH'S, THE BRIDGE ISN'T "FLOATING". NO PROBLEMS AT ALL. THE TUNERS ARE EXCELLENT.

Being a "Dapper Dan Gibson Man" for much of my playing career, I haven't had too many close encounters with Gretsch instruments. I once recall taking a 6120 out for a test drive but wasn't too enamore... read more [+]d with it--not surprising since I've mostly owned and played 335-style instruments over the years. July 13, 2012 Music Background: Guitar hobbyist However, I took a chance with the Pro Jet and was very pleasantly surprised when I strapped it on and hit the strings. Excellent workmanship, action, and--most importantly--sound! I couldn't believe I got this guy for less than $700--it sounds and plays like instruments costing 2-3 times as much. The pickups on the Pro Jet are very impressive: to my ears they fill a niche between Fenders and Gibsons: heavier and darker than Fender single-coils yet lighter and brighter than Gibson humbuckers. The Pro Jet is a very interesting, good-looking (love the penguin shape!), and versatile instrument on which one can play just about any style of music. Well, maybe not shred metal! ;) Last word: my new Pro Jet is an outstanding guitar and a fantastic buy. Indeed, I've just made it "my new best friend"--it's definitely a keeper. Check it out! close [-] Gretsch Pro Jet rocks the house!

From Shania Twain to the Kinks to the Beatles to Arrowsmith it really shows off its versatility and playability.
