Jet-type electric guitars, whether they are models from the basic Electromatic range or the higher Professional series, are united by the use of a solid body with one or two cutouts. These are very versatile instruments that can be used in a wide range of musical styles without any problems. As is usual with Gretsch, the use of premium materials, precision workmanship and top sound are commonplace here.
Body and neck
The Jet Club model in particular has a body made from solid chambered linden wood with a laminated maple top. The neck, which is bolted to the body, comes from maple. A rosewood fingerboard with a radius of 12 inches is used. On the 625 millimetre scale you will find 22 Medium Jumbo frets. The width of the synthetic bone zero fret is 43 millimetres.
Pickups and electronics
On the instrument you will find two humbucker-type pickups, which are made in-house at Gretsch and bear the Dual-Coil designation. They can be switched between them with a 3-position switch, and the sound is controlled by volume and tone shutter potentiometers.
Hardware
The strings are anchored in the stopbar, where they are routed through an Adjusto-Matic adjustable fixed bridge. On the other side, they lead to reliable Die-Cast tuning machines. The hardware is chrome plated.
The Gretsch G5426 is a unique instrument that catches the eye when you first recognize the strings. Come and try it for yourself and you will understand...
