Overview
Vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter for California trio Tiger Army, Nick 13 writes songs that seamlessly blend his eclectic influences -- from the twang and slap of early rock 'n' roll and hillbilly country, to the dramatics of dark, Orbison-esque ballads or the raw energy of first wave '70s punk. Whether at the helm of Tiger Army or with his Americana solo pursuits, Nick 13 manages to be retro sounding while still pushing into uncharted musical territory.
Gretsch honors the left-of-center icon with the Gretsch G5230T Nick 13 Signature Electromatic Tiger Jet with Bigsby.
For nearly 70 years, the Gretsch Jet has been the hallmark sound for iconic players. Nick 13 puts his own stylistic spin on the classic instrument with dark and moody design elements including a sleek Black finish, white binding, oxblood pickguard with TigerBat logo and matching truss rod cover with his signature, cream pickup inserts, chrome hardware and distinctive pearloid TigerBat inlays. Black Top Filter'Tron pickups amplify and accentuate the Jet's chambered mahogany body and maple top to produce a wide, balanced and transparent tone. Together, the body and pickups thunder with full, responsive lows and mids with a high-end that sparkles without spikes.
A complement of individual pickup volume controls, master tone and master volume with treble bleed circuit provides intuitive control over pickup and tone settings.
This unique signature instrument also features a lower set mahogany neck for effortless… read more access and performance, 12"-radius laurel fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets, Bigsby B50 vibrato tailpiece and anchored Adjusto-Matic bridge.

Great action great feel pretty fast neck, great sound awesome bigsby, stays in tune really well, better than my strat. But the pickups, the chambered body, that's where the magic is at. Great great tone it of this guy. Very versatile. I love this guitar. If your looking at a gretsch jet, why not get the Nick 13?
