Gretsch's compact single-cut family, running from Electromatic imports up to Japanese-built versions, for players who want the brand's look in a solid body.
Watch
Why it matters
The Jet has been in the Gretsch catalogue since the company's early years and is its solid alternative to the hollow bodies. The tiering is steep: Electromatic models sit in the mid-market while Japanese-built versions cost several times as much. Since the outline is shared across tiers, the model number is the only dependable guide.
