Gretsch SIlver Pro Jet G5235 Reviews  5 / 5 based on 1 reviewsI recently bought this guitar at Music123
for $400. I had always wanted a silver
single cutaway jet since seeing a '57 model
in 1987.
The overall balance is perfect. The neck
feels great, the thumbnail inlays look
cool, the "G" cut into the tailpiece, the
chrome knobs, the strap buttons, and body
binding are all top notch. The tone
possibilities are awesome, both clean and
cranked through my Marshall. The price
knocked me out! The pickguard even stands
out. It is a visual and sonic beauty!
I would like to have a fullsized double
coil in the bridge and keep the stock
mini humbucker in the neck. The tuning
keys are good enough, but I don't know how
long they will last until they start to
slip. The paint was uneven in the pickup
cavities, but you have to look for it to
see it.
The set neck is just the right radius for a
lot of styles. The heel and neck joint
feel really smooth and the upper frets are
easily accessible. The weight is good and
heavy which is actually comfortable. The
pickups have a lot of tone from high to
muddy (if you want to go to these extremes)
I waited for half of my life to finally get
a silver jet, and this was worth it! I
was blown away by the visual qualities and
love the sound of it. I have found it to
be very adaptable to different styles of
music both with it's sound and the overall
feel. I love it and want a gold one to
keep it company when I'm at work! mrbsgreen rated this unit on 2004-09-22.
