Gretsch G5435T Electromatic Pro Jet Electric Guitar Black with Bigsby B50 Vibrato Tailpiece
£489.00
This quality Pre-Owned Gretsch G5435T Electromatic Pro Jet with Bigsby in Gloss Black is a standout model that captures classic Gretsch style and character while remaining accessible to modern players. Its chambered basswood body with an arched maple top gives it both a lightweight feel and a resonant, airy tone that sets it apart from solid-body counterparts. The maple neck and rosewood fingerboard provide smooth playability, and the vintage-inspired hump-block inlays add to its unmistakable retro aesthetic.
At the heart of this guitar are its dual Blacktop Filter’Tron pickups, which deliver a clear, articulate tone with a signature Gretsch bite. These pickups produce bright highs, punchy mids, and a warm low end, making the guitar suitable for a wide range of genres, from rockabilly and classic rock to blues and indie. The simple control layout, with individual pickup volume controls, a master tone, and a master volume, allows players to dial in tones quickly and intuitively.
Adding to its appeal is the Bigsby B50 vibrato tailpiece, which offers smooth, subtle pitch modulation perfect for expressive chord swells and vintage-inspired bends. Combined with an Adjusto-Matic bridge and die-cast tuners, the Bigsby helps maintain reliable tuning stability despite heavy use. Altogether, the G5435T Electromatic Pro Jet embodies the Gretsch spirit in a versatile and stylish package that appeals to both traditionalists and adventurous players alike.

Chambered Basswood Jet Body
The Gretsch Electromatic Pro Jet is designed with a chambered basswood body topped with laminated maple, creating a lightweight guitar with excellent resonance. The chambered design magnifies the harmonic richness of the tonewood, letting air resonate between the top and bottom to create a beautifully live and articulate tone. While the basswood body delivers a well-rounded sound, the maple top adds brightness for a full-bodied tone with plenty of sparkle. The guitar’s single cutaway not only adds to the visual aspect, but also provides easy access to the higher frets for an incredibly smooth performance.
Maple Neck, Rosewood Fingerboard
The 22-fret rosewood fingerboard is naturally oily and works well for any surface that sees frequent human contact. The stray overtones are absorbed into the oily pores, making the sound richer than a maple fingerboard. The maple neck will withstand the test of time and usage, as it has less reaction from environmental changes than other hardwoods. The combination provides powerful tones, creating sparkling highs, thick creamy lows, and an open midrange with a sharp attack.
Blacktop Filter’Tron pickups
The Gretsch features a set of Blacktop Filter’Tron pickups which filter out undesirable hum, neon noises, crackle and electrical disturbances that are usually associated with single-coil pickups. This powerful duo delivers a warm tone, along with a high output and sustain. Control options include independent volume controls, as well as a master tone and master volume control. In addition, a 3-way position toggle switch allows you to select a variety of pickup combinations for the perfect sound.
