Gretsch G6228TG-PE Players Edition Jet Electric Guitar

A Gretsch Jet for the Modern Player
This Players Edition Gretsch has the features, comfort, and tone to fuel a new generation of guitarists looking to take their music into the future. The Gretsch G6228TG-PE Players Edition Jet BT combines the harmonic resonance of a chambered mahogany body with the sonic potency of Gretsch's full-spectrum Broad’Tron BT65 humbuckers to deliver a staggering range of tone. Factor in the top-tier playability of an effortless tapered-heel mahogany neck and the expressive stability of a Bigsby B7 string-through vibrato — along with some staggering appointments, including head-to-toe gold hardware — and the G6228TG-PE is the total package. From shimmery cleans to beastly crunch and beyond, your wish is the Gretsch G6228TG-PE Players Edition Jet BT's command.




Chambered mahogany body for harmonically rich tone
For the G6228TG-PE Players Edition Jet BT, Gretsch starts with a select 1.85-inch-thick mahogany body that delivers strong, balanced midrange. Strategic body chambering provides smooth attack and extended, harmonically lush bandwidth while reducing weight — which you'll definitely appreciate during marathon gigs! Key to the classic Gretsch Jet sound, this chambered tonewood recipe serves as the sonic foundation to which Gretsch adds a pair of remarkable humbucking pickups.
Broad’Tron BT65 pickups for power and fidelity
The G6228TG-PE Players Edition Jet BT is powered by Gretsch's outstanding Broad’Tron BT65 pickups. Designed by renowned pickup guru Tim Shaw, the BT65 harnesses this guitar’s broad sonic range and flawlessly delivers its extended lows, powerful mids, and smooth, clear high end in a masterful display of full-spectrum fidelity and wall-shaking power. You'll find the Gretsch G6228TG-PE Jet BT has you covered for any genre-hopping live gig or recording session. From sparkling cleans to brutal overdrive — and all tonal colors in between — everything's on the menu. Guitarists at Sweetwater love these pickups; we're sure you will, too.
Vintage-style Bigsby tailpiece for enhanced pitch expression
Nothing beats the character and vintage vibe that a real Bigsby tailpiece adds to the G6228TG-PE Players Edition Jet BT. Based on the original design created by Paul A. Bigsby, this Bigsby tailpiece requires next to no effort to use, making it particularly easy to pull off slow, subtle, and extended bends. The Bigsby — along with its Filter’Tron pickups, Neo-Classic thumbnail inlays, and classic chambered-body design — gives the G6228TG-PE Players Edition Jet BT a distinctive niche in the pantheon of amazing instruments that grace Sweetwater’s Guitar Gallery.
