NEW Gretsch Electromatic Jet BT Guitars (...and Bass!) 

Hey guys, just wanted to give some props for the review. That part about the neck tilt / pickup height is brilliant information!

i swear this is the only review on youtube that explains what makes these guitars special and why. thanks guys.

No one keeps the left-handed ones in stock, so I had to special order one. Should be here in a few weeks. Been watching all the RU-vid videos I can find about these awesome guitars. I can't wait to get it!! (It's going to be my first electric guitar -- I just started playing about 18 months ago, and I've only played acoustics 'till now.) Those Broad'Tron pickups really sound fantastic -- just enough "twang" without being brittle or harsh, and they can still get as dirty as you want. Great video, thanks!

Just bought one, cherry metallic, personally having owned 2 LP's and disappointed with their QC , this is a better playing guitar, lighter,the finish and craftsmanship is better than Gibson, I have 3 new Gretsch guitars, Gretsch G5220 Electromatic Jet BT ,Gretsch G5422TG Electromatic Hollow-body Double-Cut with Bigsby, a g5442bc bass, I plan on buying another bass, these guitars are imo, on par with my 67"s, can't say enough about them.

YES! Thank you for mentioning the angle of the Les Paul neck. I thought there was something off for me with it. Just got the Gretsch G5237 which is a custom G5222 double cut.

At 6:50 you are incorrect. All Gretsch Jets, Electromatic and otherwise, have always been heavily chambered and never a solid piece of wood for the body. This is not a new feature. The Electromatic Jets have been excellent guitars and an extremely good value for several years now.

Good job analyzing the guitar. Please Somebody make me the favor of tell me the song is played right on the beginning

great review guys,,,but you guys have same hairstylist?

My son & i own the black one . Only thing I notice is I have to turn the volume up on the amp a bit more . Playability & price wise these are great . Good video .

Do you know if you used a Plimsoul V1 (chrome with purple) or V2 (purple)? And is it a stock Blues junior 3? Great video! Thinking of buying this Gretsch now thanks to your video!

Interestingly nice tones!!

Purchased one recently and love it!! Removed the pick guard and it plays and looks even better!

Slidetastic guys.. 👍😎

can you replace the tailpiece with the standard straight one? i dont like the look of the V one and I am looking to buy this guitar thanks

the v shaped tail peace helps with tuning........really......

Kind of reminds me of Trevor and Simon 🙂

Are they as heavy as a regular Les Paul? sorry English is not my mother language.

The one I bought is a piece of junk. 1st day knob fell off 2nd day female jack had to be removed and tightened. 3rd day tune knobs were loose and could not tune. Had to tighten all of them not just a little I mean they were loose. 4 day gave up trying to play it as fret ends were never dress and were like barbwire. After that I gave up trying to play it or risk cutting myself. There is no way that guitar should have left the factory in that condition. Didn't bother to check the action and pickup height and intonation what was the point. Bought it January 2021. The neck had those skimpy thumbnail style fret markers nothing like the ones pictured here.

How balanced is this guitar when wearing a strap? I need a replacement to my SG that is so neck heavy it's difficult to play. I need to see about guitar balance before I buy.

thanks for the video guys I'm really thinking I'm going to be buying an electromatic the one with the dicks feed the I think it's the 55420 T yeah that's what I think I'm going to be buying it's funny how you said the old ones had to pick up Statler of the strings off the body rely I know what it's a line up with the neck it's funny cuz my Gibson Firebird is very similar to that two strings has Ohio of the body that they put the newer models with pick up rises and it says they had a completely different field but I'm used to it and I liked it anyway thanks for your video dude please excuse any typos misspelled words a lot of bad typer I'm not illiterate I'm just severely legally blonde using speech to text with dolphins screws up thank

Where are they made? Korea or china?

The black one doesn't look expensive to me it looks Boring I like the plum purple metallic with a BisBee

Another Video that is 90% Talking !

These guys put me to sleep. Lame.

The import Gretsch are stone junk. I had a Corvette II and it started to fall apart in my hands in front of about 500 plus people. I always wanted one and they really gave it to me.
