REVIEW GRETSCH G5220 ELECTROMATIC JET BT 1 £432 Has Gretsch just thrown down the gauntlet for single-cut value in 2018? W e all have our preconceptions about guitar brands and models; players and styles we associate with tone and aesthetic. But Gretsch has been taking some interesting steps to give serious pause for anyone who only thinks of them as the home of aspirational rockabilly daddios and country gents.
t h e ga s station Jet Powered Know your Gretsch Jets G sensitive. But get into traditional AC/DC and even metal territory and eyebrows start raising; it sounds like something that can really chase a Les Paul in the fat-but-articulated stakes. This thing has a meat and confidence with ringing chords and riffs that puts a broad smile on our faces. The low action and friendly tension on our test model certainly encourages that as well, but the low-end rhythm remains tight on the bridge.
