A Sparkle Jet for a New Generation
From the Gretsch Professional Collection comes a cutting-edge update of the companys vintage classic electric guitar to fuel a new generation of guitarists looking to take their music into the future. The Gretsch G6229 Limited-edition Sparkle Jet BT combines the harmonic resonance of a chambered mahogany body and a maple top with the sonic potency of Gretschs full-spectrum BroadTron BT-65 humbuckers and the fluid pitch expression of a genuine Bigsby string-through vibrato tailpiece to deliver a staggering range of tone. From shimmering cleans to beastly overdrive, your every wish is your Sparkle Jets command.
Chambered mahogany body for harmonically rich tone
For the G6229 Limited-edition Sparkle Jet BT, Gretsch starts with a select 1.85-inch-thick mahogany body and maple top combo that delivers strong, balanced midrange. Strategic body chambering provides smooth attack and extended, harmonically lush bandwidth while reducing weight which youll definitely appreciate during marathon gigs! This chambered tonewood recipe, key to the classic Jet sound, serves as the tonal foundation to which Gretsch adds a pair of remarkable humbucking pickups.
BroadTron BT-65 pickups for power and fidelity
The G6229 Limited-edition Sparkle Jet BT is powered by Gretschs outstanding BroadTron BT-65 pickups. Designed by renowned pickup guru Tim Shaw, the BT-65 harnesses this guitars broad sonic range and flawlessly delivers its extended lows, powerful mids, and smooth, clear high end in a masterful display of full-spectrum fidelity and wall-shaking power. Youll find the Limited-edition Jet BT has you covered for any genre-hopping live gig or recording session. From sparkling cleans to brutal overdrive and all tonal colors in between everythings on the menu. Guitarists at Sweetwater love these pickups. Were sure you will, too.
Gretschs legacy in American music
The G6229TG Limited-edition Sparkle Jet BT transports you back to Gretschs roots in American music. Everyone knows Gretsch electric guitars and drums, but did you know that got their start in 1883 as a banjo company? It wasnt long before Gretsch was making mandolins, ukuleles, and eventually flat-top and lap steel guitars, contributing to the very roots of American music. So when you make music on a Gretsch, youre playing more than a great instrument, youre playing a piece of American music history.
