Gretsch Guitars Electromatic Jet RW Cadillac Green

A Jet Electromatic: Gretsch DNA, Designed for the Stage

Within the Electromatic collection, this Jet is designed to deliver an immediate Gretsch identity: iconic look, refined feel, and a sound palette ready to cover many styles. Its Jet format, combined with chambered construction, aims for an effective balance between impact, resonance, and control, resulting in an expressive and easy-to-play guitar.

For Which Guitarist and Styles?

This Gretsch is particularly aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists who want a versatile electric guitar with a strong character. It feels at home in rock, blues, pop, indie, and heavier genres thanks to its humbuckers, while still capable of more open sounds via the splits. Its slightly shorter scale length of 24.875" / 632 mm contributes to a smooth playing feel, pleasant for bends and expressive vibrato.

The Sound

The combination of mahogany (body and neck) and solid maple (top) provides a very musical balance: mahogany favors rich mids, generous sustain, and natural warmth, while maple adds definition and a sharper attack. The acoustic chambers enhance the sense of resonance and give more air to the notes. On the electronics side, the PureVolt Twin Six Humbuckers offer a solid and articulate tone; the Treble-Bleed on the master volume helps maintain clarity when lowering the volume. The 3-position selector is direct and effective, and the push-pull coil splits allow switching from full sounds to more incisive tones for sharper rhythms.
