FS - Gretsch Electromatic Pro Jet with Bigsby - Withdrawn
What's Hot
I am selling a used Gretsch Electromatic Pro Jet with Bigsby (supposedly from late 90s, looks like a G5435T but I'm not 100% sure).
I have had this guitar set up for £60 at the end of June at Denmark Street's Stairway to Kevin.
The guitar has been restrung with D'Addario EXP 110 coated nickel strings, 10-46s.
There are small marks on the headstock and also one volume knob is at a slight angle to the others but it works just fine.
The guitar does not come with a gig-bag, so it will be collection only in London NW3. I am looking for £275.
I'll try to upload pictures later today.
Comments
The humpblock inlays, real filtertrons (super crunchy blacktop flavour) and better wiring/pots are the headline upgrades over over the older versions.
Very nice guitars that no one has a bad word for.
In fact, eRlier versions of this (around 2009/10) had metal pickup surrounds. so this is a later run. Guessing it’s less than 5 years old.
Volume knob is at different angle because the top is curved, not flat. This is normal.
Zero frets, and cheap has me a bit concerned....
I bought this guitar used for £220 off ebay and paid £60 for the setup, that's how I got to the price.
The G5435T is new around £450, so I think the price I am asking for makes sense.
You’re 20 years out on the date of a nearly new guitar.
That was my concern.
