Gretsch Releases High Style, Low Cost Electromatic Junior Jet II Cary May 5th

While we’re on the subject of Gretsch, check out this cool sunburst edition of their Electromatic Junior Jet II… Now, I’ve been coveting the classic – but incredibly pricey – Duo Jet for many, many years, but with the introduction of Gretsch’s less-expensive Electromatic line I’m starting to seriously reconsider my priorities.

Now, it goes without saying that the Junior Jet II, which sells for less than $300, isn’t going to be built to the same quality standards as the $2,000 Duo Jet, but that said, it does look like a really fun, and seriously stylin’ instrument.

Among other things it sports a pair of Gretsch’s twang-inducing mini humbucker pickups, a solid mahogany body adjustable truss rod (a must on cheaper instruments!) and that super cool tobacco sunburst finish (also comes in transparent black.)

The Gretsch Electromatic Junior Jet II Features–

• Mahogany Body
• Maple Neck (bolt-on)
• Rosewood Fingerboard With 22 Frets
• Dual Gretsch Mini-Humbuckers
• Master Volume & Tone Controls
• 3-Way Pickup Switching
• Vintage Style Tuners
• Compensated Wrap-Around Bridge
• Adjustable Truss-Rod
• Gretsch “G”-Arrow Knobs

If you’re interested in getting into a Gretsch on the cheap, perhaps even as a precursor to one of their more expensive models, the Electromatic Junior Jet II may be a good jumping-off point.
