"Jet series" isn't some discounted line, it's how Gretsch names its solid body guitars. You can still buy made in Japan (model numbers start with "6") Jet guitar for $2-3k. "Electromatic" (model numbers start with "5", previously made in Korea, now - in China) and "Streamliner" (model numbers start with "2", made in Indonesia), are cheaper lines made to compete with the Epiphones and other cheaper guitars. That includes Electromatic Jet guitars.
And yes, Jet is their name to indicate solid body models, some of which are chambered but without sound holes. Nothing about what I wrote was intended to imply that the Jet guitars were a discount line. Quite the opposite. They are worthy competitors to LPs from Epiphone and often Gibson, too.
These Gretsch have been front page deals so often because they're absolutely fabulous guitars for the money. I think there is no better guitar on the market at this price, bar none.
