Rock 'n' Roll the Gretsch Way

The Gretsch G5230T Nick 13 Signature Electromatic Tiger Jet was crafted to keep up with the frontman for California trio Tiger Army, and it rocks in the way only a Gretsch can. Loaded with a pair of Black Top Filter'Tron humbuckers, the G5230T Nick 13 Signature Electromatic Tiger Jet delivers wide-ranging tone that stands out whether you're playing clean, with a bit of drive, or with full-on fuzz. Its Bigsby B-50 vibrato tailpiece is perfect for rockabilly and surf. And regardless of what style you play, you'll appreciate the precise feel of its Thin U neck profile, 12-inch fretboard radius, and medium-jumbo frets. Topped off with pearloid TigerBat inlays, and a unique Oxblood Plexi pickguard with TigerBat graphic, any rock 'n' roll fan will be impressed with the Gretsch G5230T Nick 13 Signature Electromatic Tiger Jet.

Bright and spanky "Black Top" humbucking pickups

Gretsch uncovered a set of Baldwin-era Filter'Tron pickups with incredible punch and twang — perfect for the G5230T Nick 13 Signature. They reverse-engineered those special pickups to create the golden set of "Black Top" Filter'Tron humbucking pickups that you'll find loaded in this G5230T Nick 13 Signature. With their robust character and trademark cut, the Gretsch Black Top Filter'Tron humbuckers keep you ready for everything from rockabilly and country to blues and classic rock.

Versatile tone shaping potential

The classic Gretsch electronics package offers big tonal variety, and that's what you get in the Gretsch G5230T Nick 13 Signature Electromatic Tiger Jet. Each pickup has its own volume control, allowing for custom-blended tones in the middle pickup position. You also have master tone and master volume controls to fine-tune your overall sound. And thanks to the built-in treble-bleed circuit, your tone will remain clear and detailed even when you roll back your volume control — perfect for cleaning up your tone without sinking to the back of the mix.

A neck designed for effortless playability

Gretsch necks are loved the world over for their exceptional craftsmanship and playability. The G5230T Nick 13 Signature's Thin U neck is popular among guitarists at Sweetwater, supporting faster runs and chord changes with ease. The smooth laurel fretboard features 22 medium jumbo nickel frets that make both chording and lead playing easy on the fingers.
