2018 brings a bevy of beautiful new Gretsch Jets to the table. From the all-new Players Edition Jet™ BT and Electromatic® Jet BT models, fueled by our powerful Broad’Tron pickups, to our Players Edition Jet™ FT featuring Filter’Tron pickups, these solid bodies are the culmination of over half a century of tonal performance and magic.
Let us introduce you to 9 brand-new Jet models…
G6228FM Players Edition Jet™ BT with V-Stoptail
The incredible all-new G6228FM Players Edition Jet™ BT is our full-spectrum wall-shaker, built with a chambered mahogany body for an astoundingly rich and acoustically resonant sound. This gorgeous guitar comes in two lavish stains – an amber Bourbon Stain and a sweet Dark Cherry Stain over a gorgeous flame maple top and matching headcap. A 12” radius ebony fingerboard sits on a mahogany neck and is checkered with aged pearloid Big Block inlays for a vintage vibe. The G6228FM doesn’t just look great either. Our all-new Broad’Tron™ BT65 pickups meticulously capture the guitar’s sonic palette and reproduce powerful Mids, extended Lows and an exceptionally clear, yet smooth High-end.
G6228 Players Edition Jet™ BT with V-Stoptail
With the same robust features as its flame maple friend, the G6228 Players Edition Jet™ BT comes in three solid finishes – a sleek Black, the classic Cadillac Green, and a Dark Cherry Metallic that explodes with crimson on stage. The chrome, anchored Adjusto-Matic™ bridge and Gretsch V-stoptail tailpiece keep it playing tight and looking right.
G6228LH Players Edition Jet™ BT with V-Stoptail
The left-handed rockers can also enjoy the power and fidelity of the Players Edition Jet BT with the G6228LH, available in our always fresh Cadillac Green finish.
G6128T Players Edition Jet™ FT with Bigsby®
A pair of High Sensitive Filter’Tron™ pickups power the new G6128T Players Edition Jet™ FT, creating a wide, balanced and transparent tone that can cut through the mix or lay a solid sonic foundation. The stylish single cut’s surface is covered in a striking, ageless Black finish and is complemented by the chrome Bigsby® B7CP string-thru tremolo. A full-access rolled cutaway and lower neck set make for effortless access and performance while running up the 12” radius rosewood fingerboard.

With all the incredible features of the Players Edition Jet™ FT, this shining beacon of beauty is matched in power by its shimmery High Sensitive Filter’Tron™ pickups and no-load master tone pot with Squeezebox™ PIO capacitor. Throw in a Bigsby® B7CP vibrato, Gotoh® locking tuning keys, TUSQ XL nut, and chrome hardware, and you have a brilliant machine built to rock.
G6131T Players Edition Jet™ FT with Bigsby®
Like a phoenix from the ashes, the G6131T Players Edition Jet soars with its stunning Vintage Firebird Red veneer.

The 12” radius rosewood fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and pearloid Neo-Classic™ inlays make this one a no-brainer.
G5220 Electromatic® Jet™ BT Single-Cut with V-Stoptail
The G5220 Electromatic Jet BT is the affordable little brother of the Players Edition Jet BT.
