Customer Reviews:

The Gretsch Jet Baritone is a long scale solid body electric guitar that comes setup as a bassVI out of the box which while interesting isn't nearly as cool as a true baritone electric guitar. BassVI? Baritone? What's the difference you may ask? A bassVI is essentially a six string electric ...

@billy2129

Many thanks, it was an improvisation with my drum machine.

Remember to dial up and moderate amount of tremolo and a generous amount of reverb for this sound.

Can hardly wait...Again Thanks...I like your playing!!!!!

Have a Great Weekend Man!!!!!

Did you by any chance do anything else in this vein? I enjoyed the composition, and while I was originally opposed to these guys (under the false assumption that they were cheaply made), your playing and excellent reviews I've seen have me sold. I just REALLY have to save up for one quickly; baris seem to be discontinued so often, so readily!

Os the fretboard wider on that compared to a guitar.

[JLDead]

@numanuma20 Most baritones I've played have had bigger necks. It's not a huge difference, but it can make some more difficult chords problematic. I myself don't have any proper experience with these Gretsches yet though.

[kennychiwa147]

this is my new favorite youtube video ever.

i want that guitar so freakin bad.

and that robe ;D

[Deere55]

This video got me interested in the boss ME-70. I now have one, it's a great pedal.

P.S. This is so awesome I took the audio from this video and put it on my mp3 player.

[AmishParadice]

I don't know which is sexier, the finish on that guitar or your bath robe lol. Awesome video!

[overdrive302]

Great playing!! great sound!! what string gauge/set up do you use?

[transtremm]

@overdrive302

Thanks! The set up and strings are straight from the factory, the action is perfect right out of the box. It is strung with a standard Fender Bass VI set of strings, the gauges are: .025, .035, .045, .055, .075, .095. This string set is made by Fender, each string tapers at the end so the string can be inserted into the tuning posts.

[springfieldFam]

would you reccommend this guitar for someone who would put baritone strings on it? Does it stay in tune good?

[ElDiabloEastSida]

how do thoe mini humbuckers compare to the regular size humbuckers?

[KsideHb]

amazing

[Deere55]

Aside from the guitar, what all do you have going into this to get your sound?

[Deere55]

Nice sound

[transtremm]

@Deere55

I'm running through a Boss ME-70 with Reverb (hall) at 10; a tremolo effect; and I'm using the equalizer. The Boss ME-70 has a 4 band parametric EQ with the following setting: high, low-mid, high-mid, and low. I use the following EQ setting:  high=5, low-mid=5, high-mid=9, and low=5.

The equalizer on the ME-70 is VERY POWERFUL!

@transtremm im reeally stuck here....can i tune a varitone guitar to e standard ?? like a normal guitar or will the neck snap or something ? 

[transtremm]

@AlexM1175

This guitar comes from the factory tuned as follows (low to high): E, A, D, G, B, E. Just like a normal guitar tuning, however all the strings are an octave lower.
