Gretsch Guitars Electromatic Premier Jet EBO Robusto Burst

A Modern Jet in the Gretsch Spirit, at the Top of the Electromatic Series

Within the Electromatic collection, the Premier Jet positions itself as a particularly refined version: meticulous finishes, craftsmanship designed for performance, and electronics focused on versatility. It embodies the DNA of Gretsch's historic Jets, known for their sonic presence, instantly recognizable tone, and timeless style, while adopting modern choices (locking tuners, luminous side markers, very smooth controls) to meet current demands.

For Which Guitarists and Styles?

This Electromatic Premier Jet is aimed at the intermediate to advanced guitarist who wants an electric guitar capable of covering a wide palette without struggling with the instrument. Its shorter scale length (24.88 inches / 632 mm) promotes smooth playability and comfortable bends, while the "Performance C" neck profile and compound radius provide a fluid feel across the entire fretboard.

Regarding styles, the HH configuration and Jet architecture make it particularly comfortable in rock, blues, pop, indie, and country, with enough definition for tight rhythms and enough body for singing solos. With a good amp setting, it can also cover softer territories, clean, with a nice roundness.

Sound

The sonic foundation of this Jet comes from the combination of mahogany and maple. The chambered mahogany body adds breadth and a more "alive" feel than a solid body, while maintaining good stability at high volume. The solid maple top adds clarity and attack: notes come out with clear definition, useful for open chords as well as denser riffs.

The two Sphera Twin Six humbuckers are designed to deliver a wide dynamic range: clean, balanced cleans and then a saturation build-up that remains articulate. The 3-position selector switch (bridge / both pickups / neck) allows quick switching from a sharp, cutting sound to a rounder, singing tone.

The electronics are a real highlight for shaping the sound without losing comfort. The master volume with treble-bleed helps maintain brightness when lowering the volume (ideal for cleaning up a crunch). The two no-load tone controls (one dedicated to the neck pickup, one to the bridge pickup) offer a very musical range of action, and the push-pull function on the volume activates the Lumen Filter to explore additional textures, from enhanced clarity to more filtered colors depending on your setting.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To stay as close as possible to the original feel, a set of nickel plated steel electric strings in 010-046 gauge is the safest choice. You can also plan for a good quality 6.35 mm instrument jack cable (essential for any electric guitar) and some picks suited to your attack. Since the strap locks are locking type, a standard guitar strap generally fits, provided the strap opening is properly adjusted to the system.
