Up for sale, a 2017 Gretsch G6131T Players Edition Jet FT, upgraded with TV Jones pickups and a Compton “Special” bridge, and complete with the original hardshell case. Barely played since new, this souped up version of the Jet Firebird has a few modern, player-friendly features including locking tuning machines and a Bigsby B7 vibrato for increased tuning stability and vibrato response. The Players Edition Jet also has a lowered neck set that greatly improves fret-hand mobility while also giving the picking hand a closer approach, increasing comfort and accuracy. Additionally, Gretsch's new full-access rolled cutaway and tapered heel allows effortless access to the highest registers of the fretboard.

Tonewoods include a select chambered mahogany body and maple top, with a slightly more slender 1.85" depth, delivering a tighter, more controlled note attack. The upgraded TV Jones pickups include a TV Classic at the neck and a Power’Tron in the bridge position. The TV Classic offers a unique blend of spank, sparkle and punch, faithfully capturing the qualities of a golden age Filter’Tron, while the Power’Tron was designed to combine PAF-style warmth and power with classic Filter’Tron cut and jangle, featuring larger bobbins and more windings to create a “badder, gnarlier older brother to the TV Classic.” This Players Edition Jet FT weighs 8lbs 6oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 11-49 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
