The limited edition Gretsch G5435TG Pro Jet from the Electromatic series offers classic penguin flair at an affordable price. The charming solid body relies on solid gold hardware and a real Bigsby B-50 vibrato system, while two Blacktop Filter'Tron humbuckers in true-to-original design are responsible for the sound conversion.
The basic structure of the G5435TG consists of a proven single-cut body made of hollow milled lime, which is finished with a domed top made of laminated maple and gives the instrument silhouette the traditional shaping. Thanks to its wide cut and no annoying neck foot, the glued-in maple neck can be played cleanly up to the highest positions of the rosewood fingerboard and, thanks to its strong profile, offers enough wood for the left hand.
With the Blacktop Filter'Trons, Gretsch sets in a true piece of history. The popular humbuckers with a narrow magnetic field were used in the sixties and seventies and got their name from the use of black HiLoTron housings. Both Seventies-style blacktops offer a slightly increased output and provide a versatile setup, from vintage sounds to turned up Brown sound. The typical Gretsch circuit with two separate volume controls as well as Master Volume and Master Tone allows the retrieval of versatile tones.
Besides the proven Gretsch AdjustoMatic bridge with individually adjustable string riders and two knurled screws for string height adjustment, the Gretsch G5435T Pro Jet comes with an original Bigsby B-50 vibrato system with classic lever and engraved Bigsby logo. The coveted "Horseshoe" not only enables flowing glissandi, but also ensures the harmonious visual appearance of the G5435TG Electromatic Pro Jet.
