Classic Gretsch Vibe at a Sweet Price

The Gretsch Electromatic G5426 Jet Club electric guitar is the perfect way to get your hands on a real Gretsch guitar for a wonderful low price. The G5426 Jet Club offers you the light weight and warm sound of a chambered basswood body with a maple top. A pair of humbucking pickups pump your amplifier full of classic Gretsch vibe that's suitable for both rhythm and lead roles. And since you're getting it from Sweetwater, you know your Gretsch G5426 Jet Club will play beautifully right out of the box.

Basswood body with an arched maple top brings a new voice to the Electromatic line

Gretsch reinvented their Electromatic line by giving the G5426 Jet Club electric guitar a wonderfully lightweight and resonant chambered basswood body. This basswood body isn't just lighter on your shoulder than traditional mahogany — its also lighter on tone, adding crisp treble and extra bite to the Jet Club's sound. You'll find that this quality complements the Jet Club's maple archtop perfectly, imbuing this guitar with a character all of its own. But make no mistake — the G5426 Jet Club still gives you that great Gretsch sound!

Classic Gretsch humbucker tone

Gretsch has earned a reputation for producing high-quality pickups, and the G5426 Jet Club packs two humbuckers to give you the warm glow associated with '50s Gretsch guitars. Plug into your favorite tube amplifier and select both pickups to fill the room with organic resonance and smoky tones. But flip to the bridge humbucker and peg the volume knob, and you've got a hot, biting sound at your fingertips.

Fast-playing fretboard

The rosewood fretboard on the G5426 Jet Club sports a 12-inch radius — perfect for fast fretwork. You'll love how fluidly your fingers navigate this fretboard, which features 22 medium-jumbo frets for effortless playability.

Gretsch Electromatic G5426 Jet Club Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:

  • An incredibly affordable Gretsch guitar that gives you a traditional Gretsch experience at a great price
  • Instantly recognizable Jet body style is extremely comfortable to play
  • Chambered basswood body and laminate maple top add bright overtones to the classic Jet body style
  • A pair of humbuckers provide vintage Gretsch sound

This is some guitar!

I got the silver one and this guitar blows me away! It was almost in tune! The neck is thin and fast and the action low with no fret buzz! I would have expected to pay at least twice the amount I did. The Sound is amazing in every way! You won't be sorry if you buy this beauty!!

Excellent

My second Gretsch Guitar. I loved my Gretsch Penguin Parlor so much I took the plunge into the Electric Zone. Nice guitar. Beautiful color (silver) Fret ends are a little rough, wouldn't pass the nylon snag test. Nothing a set up couldn't smooth out. Sounds great through my Boss KTN 100 and my Fender Micro. (Like it better than my Gibson Les Paul and that is my pride and joy)

Great guitar for anyone really.

Started playing the guitar 2 years ago this month. This was the first guitar I purchased. I used it everyday for the entire first year. Now I didnt have much to compare it to because I was a beginner but I absolutely love this guitar. I now have a PRS SE CUSTOM 24 that I primarily play. However, I keep this one in my office and pick it up to play daily. My PRS plays a little easier based on how it feels to the touch, but its a pricier guitar. I am a better player on the Gretsch though, probably because I learned on it. I really have no complaints.

Gretsch G5426 Jet Club

For all you bargain hunters out there, don't hesitate for a second to grab a G5426 while they are still in stock. You'll be getting a highly playable, great sounding guitar worth twice the price. If you've never
purchased equipment from a website before, no worries. Sweetwater has the best service in the business!

Gretsch Heaven

Ok, I have to write a brief review of this Guitar! I had purchased a Fender Acoustic Guitar some time ago that was constructed of Basswood Back and Sides with a Spruce Top and I was blown away by it's resonance! I think most people don't realize what a Great Tonewood, Basswood actually is!
So, when I realized that this Gretsch Jet Club is constructed of a Chambered Basswood Body, I just had to have one! WHAT AN AMAZING GUITAR! I own several Epiphone Special 11 Les Pauls and absolutely love them, so If you like the body size of a Les Paul, the Gretsch Jet Club is for you! It is lighter than a Gibson Les Paul and The Basswood Chambered Body gives beautiful resonance. A beautiful Warm Jazzy Sound with the neck pickup and a bright sound with both pickups! The Quality of this guitar is incredible! It has become my favorite electric guitar and I own many! This Gretsch has a fantastic Unique Tone all it's own in a light Les Paul size Body! Do yourself a big favor and snag one when they are available!
