Construction of the Electromatic G5439 Pro Jet Silver Sparkle

At first glance, the Gretsch Guitars Electromatic G5439 Pro Jet Silver Sparkle seems to have a slim, solid body. Looks can be deceiving, though: the basswood body is chambered, creating a lightweight feel and an open, almost acoustic tone. The arched top and the neck are made of maple, adding a nicely aggressive and tight edge to the overall sound of the guitar, and the 22-fret rosewood set fingerboard provides additional sustain.

Pickups

The Gretsch Guitar Electromatic G5439 Pro Jet Silver Sparkle is equipped with a set of original Gretsch FilterTron pickups, which provide a high output and a pleasantly sparkling sound, and are suitable for a wide range of music genres. The sound of the guitar can be adjusted by means of a three-way pickup switch, a volume knob per pickup, a master tone knob and a master volume knob.
