Here for sale we have a Gretsch G5345T Electromatic Pro Jet Electric Guitar in a Black finish. Made in China in 2011, this guitar features a chambered Basswood body, Maple neck, and a 22-fret Rosewood fingerboard. This guitar is fitted with Die Cast Chrome hardware which includes a Tune-O-Matic bridge with a Bigsby Tailpiece and a set of sealed tuning machines. The pickups in this guitar are a pair of Black Top Filter'Tron pickups which are wired to individual volume controls, a master volume, master tone and a 3-way pickup toggle switch.
The slimmer 'C' profile neck gives the guitar a great middle ground between a chunky and thin neck profile making it perfect for chordal and lead players alike, as it caters comfortability for both playing styles. The Medium Jumbo frets enhance bends and vibrato techniques, making them easier to play with the 12" radius still giving enough comfortability for chordal fretting. The Chambered Basswood body also reduces weight which aids in reducing strain over long playing or performing sessions.
The pickups have a punchy sound with plenty of brightness and high end presence. Due to the biting tone it is great for styles like rock or blue, cutting through with leads, however they can handle almost any style you throw at them thanks to the volume and tone controls allowing you to really personalise the tone. The neck pickup offers a slightly darker and thicker tone compared to the brighter bridge pickup which still offers plenty of warmth to each note. The Bigsby tailpiece also allows for subtle and tasteful bends during your playing whilst keeping the string tension and tuning intact.
