Broad’Tron BT65 Pickups

The G6228 PRO Players Edition Jet is equipped with Gretsch's all new Broad’Tron BT65 pickups, design by Tim Shaw. Located at the neck and bridge position, these pickups capture the guitar’s acoustic, sonic palette and reproduces powerful mids, extended lows and an superb clear, yet smooth high-end. In addition this guitar also includes a no-load master tone pot with a Squeezebox paper-in-oil capacitor, as well as master volume with treble bleed circuit, for ultimate tonal flexibility and control.

Anchored Adjusto-Matic Bridge

The Anchored Adjusto-Matic Bridge has featured on many Gretsch guitars over the years, due to its reliable tuning. Introduced in the early 1970s, this innovative bridge offers superb, individual intonation for each string, with its six adjustable saddles.

Graph Tech Tusq XL Nut

The Gretsch G6228 PRO Players Edition Jet also features a Graph Tech Tusq nut which is impregnated with PTFT, providing a slippy substance which controls the amount of grip that the nut has on the strings. A Tusq nut delivers a rich tone, along with hidden harmonics by transferring your strings vibrations efficiently to the guitar.
