General

The Gretsch G5230T Electromatic Jet FT is a lightweight electric guitar with a licensed Bigsby B50 vibrato tailpiece and two Black Top Filter'Tron humbucker pickups. The Jet is an iconic model that's a true Gretsch classic! Its chambered body produces a wide, balanced and transparent tone without feedback and you can tweak it to perfection using the volume and tone controls. The 3-way pickup switch makes it possible select either pickup or combine them together.

G5230T Electromatic Jet FT: wood types, vibrato tailpiece and playing comfort

The body is made of mahogany and has a maple top giving you an instrument with prominent lows and mids as well as smooth trebles that sparkle. The B50 vibrato tailpiece is perfect for adding subtle embellishments to your playing. The U profile on the mahogany neck along with the 12-inch fretboard radius and 22 medium frets make this model a joy to play too.

De Filtertron hebben een erg mooi geluid. Lekkere hals. Het is voor het geld een mooi geconstrueerde gitaar. Potmeters functioneren ook prima, dus het probleem van een eerdere schrijver zal een ongelukje geweest zijn.

Na eerst dit model een keer geleend te hebben gelijk tot aanschaf overgegaan. De Filtertron elementen die in dit model zitten passen perfect bij het geluid van mijn band. Het is een uniek geluid dat tussen humbucker en single coil inzit. Vooral overstuurd erg lekker. De gitaar opgehaald in Rotterdam waar Ralph hem helemaal goed voor me heeft afgesteld als service. Hoewel ik de Gretsch met Bixby in eerste instantie eigenlijk niet mijn stijl was ben ik er inmiddels helemaal voor gevallen. Wat een perfecte afstelling en geluid. Ook de elektronica was dik in orde en had dus niet het in een andere review omschreven probleem.
Wat mij betreft een aanrader voor iedereen die een iets ander geluid zoekt.

Gitaar ziet er mooi uit, speelt redelijk makkelijk en klinkt op zich prima. Dat 'ie in China gemaakt is zou me normaal gesproken niet veel uitmaken, ware het niet dat ze in dit geval enorm goedkope rotzooi hebben gebruikt voor de electronica... De toonregeling-potmeter heeft mechanische gebreken, je voelt één of meerdere kliks, alsof er een schakelaar in zit. Je krijgt de hoge tonen er ook niet mee verzwakt. Als je de volume-pot van het voorste element ook maar een klein stukje terugdraait hoor je dat element al niet meer, dan heeft die middenstand (beide elementen) dus ook geen zin. Compleet verkeerd gedimensioneerd dus, of wellicht een verkeerde potmeter gebruikt? Plaatsing van die potmeter is ook buitengewoon onhandig (vlak onder de Bigsby-tremolo) maar daar valt wel mee te leven. De draaiknoppen voelen ook nogal goedkoop plastic-achtig aan.

Al met al best wel een teleurstelling. Voor 555,- verwacht ik een gitaar te kopen waar ik niet nog zelf aan zou moeten gaan sleutelen om er nog iets van te maken qua electronica.
