The Gretsch Electromatic Premier Jet is the flagship of the Electromatic Collection, bringing together premium craftsmanship, innovative hardware and exceptional tonal versatility in a guitar that's built to perform at the highest level. Every detail has been carefully considered to create an instrument that feels responsive, reliable and inspiring, whether you're recording, performing or simply enjoying time with your favourite guitar.
A chambered mahogany body, carved maple top and genuine ebony fingerboard provide the perfect platform for Gretsch's all-new Sphera™ Twin Six™ humbuckers, delivering everything from pristine cleans to powerful overdrive with remarkable clarity and dynamic response.
Finished in an elegant Vintage Pearl, the Premier Jet offers sophisticated Gretsch styling with modern performance to match.
The Premier Jet is a guitar that instantly instills confidence. From the first chord, it feels like an instrument that's been designed to perform rather than one that's waiting for aftermarket upgrades. The fit and finish are exceptional, and the combination of the chambered mahogany body, carved maple top and ebony fingerboard creates a guitar that feels both substantial and incredibly comfortable in your hands.
The Performance "C" neck is a real highlight. It has a fast, natural feel that suits everything from relaxed rhythm playing to technical lead work, while the compound-radius fingerboard makes bends effortless higher up the neck. It's the kind of neck that quickly disappears beneath your hands, letting you focus entirely on playing.
The new Sphera™ Twin Six humbuckers also deserve plenty of attention. They have more output and authority than a traditional Gretsch pickup, but they never lose clarity or definition. Clean sounds are warm and articulate, edge-of-breakup tones have fantastic touch sensitivity, and higher-gain settings stay focused without becoming muddy. Engage the Lumen™ Filter, and the guitar takes on an even tighter, snappier character that's perfect when you want extra attack and note separation.
It's obvious how thoughtfully the Premier Jet has been put together. The locking bridge, locking tuners and Graph Tech® NuBone® nut all contribute to excellent tuning stability, while the thoughtful ergonomics make the guitar feel effortless over long sessions. If you're after a modern single-cut that delivers premium playability, outstanding versatility and unmistakable Gretsch character, the Premier Jet is one of the most complete guitars we've played in this price range.
