These pickups allow the vintage styled Gretsch Pro Jet to bridge the modern tonal divide that makes them just as popular with modern players.

Other distinct features include the 24.6" scale length for slinky, effortless fretting and chording across the length of the neck, and classic Gretsch style features like anchored adjusto-matic bridges and Bigsby Vibrato tailpieces.

The Pro Jet is available in many different Gretsch ranges from the Electromatic to the Professional. Several artist models exist too, as do vintage reissues. The Pro Jet is most often seen in Black but other great colours include the Silver Jet and the Sparkle Jet. The Sparkle Jet is available from time to time in wonderfully loud sparkly finishes like Gold, Ocean Turquoise and Champagne.
