Gretsch guitars?
I have an option between a Gretsch Electromatic Pro Jet & A Junior Jet II. Wich one is the best between them in terms of, quality, playability, sound and so forth?
It is really difficult to answer this unless you provide your preferred type of music and so forth.
If you dig country or one of the derivatives, then the Electromatic is probably a better choice.
Should you play blues or a relative, the Jet II would be the better choice.
In any event, “Gretschies” are a better second or third guitar rather than a main guitar only because they impart a tone unlike any other, and that tone doesn’t translate well into some music.
That being said, I have 4 Gretsch guitars from the 60s that I wouldn’t give up for anything. The new stuff is not bad either.
