The Gretsch Electromatic Premier Jet is built for players who demand premium performance without stepping into Gretsch's Professional Collection. As the flagship of the Electromatic range, it combines innovative hardware, newly developed electronics and exceptional craftsmanship into a guitar that feels every bit as refined as it looks.
A chambered mahogany body, carved maple top and genuine ebony fingerboard provide the foundation for a responsive, articulate playing experience, while Gretsch's all-new Sphera™ Twin Six™ humbuckers deliver an expansive tonal palette that moves effortlessly from sparkling cleans to aggressive overdrive. Finished in the striking Onyx Storm, the Premier Jet offers contemporary performance wrapped in unmistakable Gretsch style.
The Premier Jet feels like Gretsch has taken everything players love about the Jet series and refined it into a genuinely professional instrument. From the moment you pick it up, the attention to detail is obvious. The chambered body keeps the guitar lively and resonant, the compound-radius ebony fingerboard feels exceptionally smooth under the fingers, and the Performance "C" neck strikes an excellent balance between fast lead playing and comfortable rhythm work.
The Sphera™ Twin Six humbuckers are equally impressive. They offer the warmth and punch you'd expect from a modern humbucker, but with an openness and dynamic response that encourages expressive playing. Clean tones remain articulate and full of character, while overdriven sounds retain clarity and definition without becoming harsh. Add the Lumen™ Filter, and you have an instrument that comfortably covers everything from vintage-inspired tones through to modern rock with ease.
What we appreciate most is how thoughtfully the entire guitar has been engineered. Every premium appointment serves a purpose—from the locking bridge and tuners that provide outstanding tuning stability to the ergonomic body contours that make the guitar feel remarkably comfortable over long playing sessions. Rather than simply adding premium features, Gretsch has created an instrument that feels cohesive, dependable and ready for years of serious playing.
