Gretsch Jet
Gretsch Jet
The Gretsch Jet (especially the Duo Jet lineage) is a huge part of why I argue Gretsch helped define the British Invasion sound—George Harrison’s early Gretsch story starts right there. I also talk about how the Jet concept was a reluctant-but-important step into “solid body” territory for Gretsch, with that semi-solid, airy construction feel.
Pros
- +Historic Gretsch model tied to George Harrison and early Beatles tones
- +More focused feel than a big hollowbody while still sounding like Gretsch
- +A key part of Gretsch’s shift into the solidbody market
Cons
- -Can still get boxed into “vintage” expectations even though it’s versatile
