Gretsch G5230T Electromatic Jet FT Vintage White/London Grey
The Gretsch Jet turned up immaculate and with the action and intonation spot on. The build quality on these guitars is very hard to beat, I just find it impossible to fault for the money. Great sound also, the black filtrons seem to handle every tone I want to get out of it, great clean tone through a Vox.
