![]() It’s a pick up swap away from being a near 10/10 if you’re really picky. It’s a perfectly suitable guitar for pros, beginners, or anyone looking for the classic Gretsch sound. ![]() ![]() While the sound of these pickups is obviously not quite as crisp as the real deal TV Jones versions, they are about 70-80% of the way there and come at a much more affordable price point. The ability to control the volume of both pickups when using the middle position of the three way selector is a great tool, something I wish was far more common on guitars. From punk to shoegaze, I could really sculpt these pickups to suit a variety of styles, through both a traditional tube amplifier and my go-to amp/cab sims. While of course the rockabilly and classic rock riffs sounded great, I was surprised by the versatility of this Electromatic Jet. The blacktop Filter’trons are full of that chime that we all expect from a guitar like this. If classic Gretsch tone is what you wish for, you will not be disappointed one bit by the G5230T.
