For over six decades, the Gretsch Jet has delivered some of the greatest sounds in rock history. The G6131T Player’s Edition Jet FT with Bigsby is the apex of over a half century of tonal and performance magic. The flagship of Gretsch’s Jet lineup is a formidable guitar. The Jet FT combines the harmonic resonance of a chambered mahogany body and maple top with the sonic potency of Gretsch’s Filter’Tron humbuckers and the fluid expressiveness of a Bigsby vibrato tailpiece. The Jet FT delivers a staggering range of tone. From shimmery cleans to beastly overdrive, your every wish is this Jet’s command.
Chambered mahogany body for harmonically rich tone
For the G6131T Player’s Edition Jet FT with Bigsby, Gretsch starts with a select 1.85"-thick mahogany body and maple top combo that delivers strong, balanced midrange. Strategic body chambering provides tight, controlled attack and superb articulation while reducing weight — which you’ll definitely appreciate during marathon gigs! This chambered tonewood recipe, key to the classic Jet sound, serves as the harmonically rich tonal foundation to which Gretsch adds a pair of remarkable humbucking pickups.
High Sensitive Filter’Trons for classic Gretsch humbucker tone
When you want that classic ’50s-era guitar tone, you need real Gretsch humbuckers. That’s why Gretsch gave their G6131T Player’s Edition Jet FT with Bigsby a pair of High Sensitive Filter’Tron pickups. Unlike most humbuckers, these traditional Gretsch pickups give you a characteristically wide, balanced, and open tone that’s jangly on the highs with an almost single-coil bite that cuts through the mix. Their more typically humbucker-sounding bass also compliments the Jet FT’s resonant body, adding woody thump and bark to its lower register.
Comes with original Gretsch hard case.
