What a stunner. Gretsch know how to pull off dazzling finishes without being obnoxious and the limited edition Sparkle Jet is one of them. Everything about the guitar is stylish, from the sparkle coat to the gold hardware and absolutely sublime ebony neck embedded with pearloid inlays.
Gretsch are famous for using vintage-voiced TV Jones Super’Tron pickups, which produce crystal clear sharpness and smooth retro vibes. Paired with the Bigsby bridge and a plethora of tone switches, you have options aplenty to shape your signature sound.
Based on the 1960s Jet, the Sparkle Jet has a chambered mahogany body, making it lighter than most guitars in its field. Gretsch's choice of woods are greatly admired here, with a super smooth ebony fingerboard and clean maple neck. Chuck in the Grover tuners and Pinned Space Control bridge and this is a guitar to last a lifetime.
Here's what Gretsch say about the Limited Edition '68 Sparkle Jet:
The early 1960s saw the double-cut Jet get a black back, a zero-fret and gold hardware. As previously, its signature power and punch came from chambered mahogany construction, which magnifies harmonic richness by letting air resonate between the top and body for livelier and more articulate tone.
That’s all here on this fiery tone machine, along with TV Jones Super’Tron pickups that retain classic vintage Filter’Tron™ clarity but with a bold and full broadband punch, due to the steel blades (used in place of individual polepieces) providing a larger magnetized surface area.
In the late ‘60s, Gretsch were not afraid to try out many wild and eye catching finishes. On this guitar, we have a very beautiful Champagne Sparkle to treat the visual sense with opulence and grandeur!
