An absolutely cracking guitar for the money

The marketing blurb says "the G5435TG Limited Edition Electromatic Pro Jet with Bigsby and Gold hardware is available in an amazing Candy Apple Red finish. This solid body guitar features include a 22 medium jumbo fret rosewood fingerboard and pearloid Neo-Classic thumbnail inlays, 3-way pickup toggle switch, Bigsby B50 vibrato, anchored Adjusto-Matic bridge, "G-Arrow" knobs, gold pickguard with Gretsch logo and threaded/knurled strap buttons."

I say it looks fantastic, is lovely to play, very responsive and I'm amazed at the range of tones I can get out of it. Although I was in the market for a Gretsch of some kind, this was almost an impulse purchase, but I'm so glad I put my hand in my pocket.
