Gretsch Guitars Electromatic Jet RW Dark Cherry Metallic

Electromatic Jet: The Gretsch Spirit in a Jet Designed for the Stage

Part of the Electromatic collection, this Jet aims for the "true Gretsch feel" with a balance of character, reliability, and performance. Its Jet body shape, iconic aesthetics, and modern electronics (splits + Treble Bleed) make it a guitar built to handle multiple styles while maintaining a distinctive sonic identity.

For Which Guitarists and Styles?

The Gretsch Electromatic Jet is aimed at ambitious beginners as well as intermediate players seeking an expressive electric guitar that is easy to set up and versatile enough to cover pop, rock, blues, indie, and classic rock. The humbuckers provide fullness and noise-free distortion, while the splits open up airier textures for rhythm playing and arpeggios.

The Sound

The combination of mahogany (body and neck) + solid maple top delivers a sound that is both warm and precise: full low-mids, sharper attack, and better definition when pushing the gain. The acoustic chambers add breathability and a more "open" feel under the fingers without sacrificing note sustain provided by the set-neck construction. The two PureVolt Twin Six humbuckers cover a wide sonic range, and the push-pull pots on each tone control allow coil splitting for clearer, sharper, and snappier sounds. The Treble Bleed circuit on the volume keeps brightness when lowering the level, handy for cleaning up your distortion without cutting the high end.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

The guitar comes factory-strung with .010-.046 strings: an identical set (nickel-plated steel) is ideal to maintain the intended feel and tension balance. A strap is also suitable thanks to the vintage-style strap buttons.
