Its chambered mahogany body and arched laminated maple top combine substantial resonance with a more manageable solidbody format. The black finish, white binding, oxblood pickguard, and TigerBat graphics give it a distinctive signature presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis model is suited to guitarists who want a clear, balanced electric sound for rockabilly, roots rock, punk, country, and other amplified styles. Two Black Top Filter'Tron pickups provide the guitar's pickup voice, with separate neck and bridge pickup volume controls for blending. A master volume, master tone, and 3-position pickup selector make it practical to move between focused bridge sounds, combined pickup textures, and warmer neck tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chambered mahogany construction is paired with an arched laminated maple top to support a resonant and responsive playing character. Its set mahogany neck uses a Thin \"U\" profile, while the 24.6-inch scale and 12-inch-radius laurel fingerboard provide a familiar fretting surface for chords, bends, and lead work. Twenty-two medium-jumbo frets and a synthetic bone nut complete the playing platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn anchored Adjusto-Matic bridge works with the Bigsby B50 vibrato tailpiece for pitch-expression effects. The instrument uses die-cast tuning machines, chrome hardware, and nickel-plated steel .010-.046 strings from the factory. Its master-volume treble bleed circuit is designed to retain clarity as the master volume is reduced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe G5230T can be connected directly to a guitar amplifier, pedalboard, recording interface with a guitar input, or other instrument-level signal chain. It is a complete electric guitar, but an instrument cable and suitable amplification are required for amplified use. Gretsch lists compatible optional G6238FT hardshell and G2164 gig bag accessories separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChambered Mahogany Body:\u003c\/strong\u003e Delivers a resonant solidbody platform with an arched laminated maple top.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlack Top Filter'Tron Pickups:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provide neck and bridge pickup voices with selectable or blended operation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBigsby B50 Vibrato:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adds hands-on pitch modulation for chord and lead expression.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnchored Adjusto-Matic Bridge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides the fixed bridge component of the Bigsby-equipped hardware layout.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThin \"U\" Mahogany Neck:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gives the guitar a set-neck construction and 24.6-inch scale length.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlexible Control Layout:\u003c\/strong\u003e Offers individual pickup volumes, master volume, master tone, and a 3-position toggle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Tiger Jet uses a gloss-finished mahogany body with chambering, a mahogany back, and an arched laminated maple top.
