Chambered Mahogany Body with Carved Maple Top
At the heart of the Electromatic Jet is a chambered mahogany body paired with a carved maple top. This construction delivers strong attack, rich and present midrange, deep lows, and shimmering highs, while keeping the guitar resonant and comfortably lightweight. Sculpted forearm contours and a smooth rounded heel ensure excellent ergonomics and unhindered access to the upper frets.
Performance C Neck and Rosewood Fingerboard
The mahogany neck features a balanced Performance C profile with gently tapered shoulders, offering comfort and control across all playing positions. A bound rosewood fingerboard provides a smooth, silky feel under the fingers and contributes warm, woody tonal character that complements the Jet’s powerful voice.
Rock Solid Tuning Stability
A GraphTech NuBone nut enhances sustain, resonance, and tuning consistency by optimising string break angle and reducing friction. Combined with the Lockdown locking adjustable wraparound bridge, the Electromatic Jet delivers rock solid tuning stability, improved sustain, and precise intonation, even under aggressive playing.
PureVolt Twin Six Humbuckers
PureVolt Twin Six humbuckers are dynamic, expressive, and powerfully voiced. Each pickup features twelve adjustable pole pieces for detailed tonal shaping. The neck pickup uses Alnico IV magnets for warmth and clarity, while the bridge pickup employs Alnico V magnets for added punch and bite. Specially calibrated coil winds deliver raw humbucker power with excellent definition, while vacuum wax potting keeps unwanted noise to a minimum.
Advanced Electronics for Maximum Versatility
The Electromatic Jet is equipped with a thoughtfully designed control circuit that offers complete tonal control. A master volume with treble bleed maintains clarity at lower volumes, while individual pickup tone controls are carefully voiced for usable sounds across their full range. Push pull tone controls unlock true single coil tones for each pickup, and when combined in the middle position they form a hum cancelling pair for crisp, glassy textures.
Bold, versatile, and unmistakably Gretsch, the Electromatic Jet delivers powerful tone, refined playability, and iconic style in a guitar built to inspire confident performance in any musical setting.
