I took delivery of this guitar today...a very fine guitar despite its very affordable price. Fit and finish are extraordinary and it was well set-up right out of the box! Black Top Ft's are also great in this instrument!

Just received my Cadillac Green Jet and is it beautiful! zZounds suddenly had one that was blemished that I took a shot on (I've been looking at the Cadillac Green ones for a while but zZounds didn't carry that color) and I can't find a thing wrong and it sounds great! I have a 2017 Candy Apple Red/Gold Hardware 5435TG Limited Edition Pro Jet in like-new condition that I don't play because I'm afraid of scratching it and only 600 were made, so I bought this one to takes its place while I morph the 5435TG into a permanent case queen. The only difference is this has the laurel fret board instead of the rosewood one, and the hardware in chrome and not gold. Action, intonation and finish are perfect and those Blacktop Filtertrons are wonderful for all genres. And this particular one has a sweet "growl" in the background that comes out nicely when distorted/over-driven. I have already ordered a VibraMate device to snap on the Bigsby for easy string changing and this baby is ready to rock! Great addition to my extensive harem. Gretsch always has a great product.

This is a great guitar. Other then tuning it was playable right out of the box. Fit and finish are very good especially for the price. Very versatile as far as tone goes. Very happy with my purchase.

I bought this guitar on a whim because the price was so low and thought it would be fun to have a little trem/Bigsby action goin’ on.. what I got was a rock solid, beautiful guitar that plays and sounds fantastic! The guitar was setup great out of the box, beautiful dark fret board, no rough frets, low action, and the Black Top Filtertrons sound beautiful! I put some Grovers on it, but, despite some negative remarks regarding the stock tuners, they weren’t all that bad really, I just prefer Grover tuners. For a first guitar, I can’t imagine anything better in regards to a great player that makes you want to play.. for a solid, beautiful, gig worthy guitar that would be right at home in a professionals hands, without making your wallet cry, you also can’t beat this sexy beast either.. I truly was blown away with pretty much everything about this guitar, and zZounds shipping and service has always been good to me. Very satisfied guitar player here.

I became interested in this model after reading an article by a Nashville session guitarist who said this one is used on 90% of what's on the radio, because Country music is going through an "AC/DC guitar sound phase".I've been looking to branch out into new genres, so that sounded cool, but at the same time like it can be relied on for Hard Rock.Took it out of the triple-boxed package today, I began strumming it right away, and noticed the resonating sound reminded me a bit of a hollow-body guitar. But when I plugged it into the amp though, the sound coming out was totally different! Every note is drenched with attitude...this is not a guitar that can be played subtly.The body is mahogany and the neck is maple; I have a drum kit with a mahogany kick and a maple snare, so this should blend well in the mix with that. Pretty COOL!
