Solidbody Electric Guitar with Mahogany Top, Body, and Neck, Laurel Fingerboard, 2 Humbucking Pickups, and Bigsby B70 Vibrato Tailpiece – White Gold
Power, Panache, and Limited-edition Jet-powered Tone
Another excellent entry in Gretsch’s iconic Electromatic series, the Electromatic Pristine LTD Jet is packed with sonic opportunities and endless expressive potential, masterfully crafted for that distinctive Gretsch twang. Its dyad of tonewoods comprises a premium blend of mahogany and laurel, complemented by a pair of FT-5E Tilter’Tron humbuckers, a comprehensive suite of sound controls, and a Bigsby vibrato to ensure you’re never short on tone-crafting possibilities, much to the delight of guitarists. With its Thin “U”-shaped neck and striking visuals, the Gretsch Electromatic Pristine LTD Jet expertly blends heritage craftsmanship with modern possibilities.
Carefully selected tonewoods
Debate abounds as to how much of a difference tonewoods can make with electric guitars, but no matter your persuasion, it’s all but impossible to deny the importance of a solid tonal foundation, and Gretsch’s luthiers spared no effort in crafting as much for this distinctive Jet. Its solidbody design features a plethora of mahogany, used throughout the body as well as the neck. Mahogany is known for its exceptional balance, punchy mids, and blossoming overtones, bolstering harmonic depth throughout the spectrum. Up top, a laurel fingerboard supplies a crystalline veneer to your tone, resulting in a distinctive mix of clear voicing and glassy sonic panache that complements the natural nuanced tonal profile of this limited-edition Jet.
Detailed sonic shaping
In classic Gretsch tradition, pickups are carefully selected to meet the aural profile of the Jet to elicit the iconic Gretsch tone. Bringing these detailed sonics to life is a set of FT-5E Filter’Tron humbuckers, conjuring a full range of tones from overdriven and hard-played to clean and soft, all the while retaining an exceptional balance of articulation, note separation, and transparency. A straightforward control scheme lets you further hone your tones with exacting precision, with dedicated volume controls for each pickup, a Master Tone knob, and a 3-way pickup selector.
Full-spectrum expression
With 22 frets of potential to explore, the Electromatic Pristine LTD Jet boasts a Thin “U”-shaped neck profile that seamlessly accommodates most playstyles, mixing comfort with unfettered access to the total range of the fingerboard’s 12-inch radius. Die-cast sealed tuners are joined by a synthetic bone nut and Adjusto-Matic bridge to ensure your output is reliably in-tune, buzz-free, and rock solid across the guitar’s 24.6-inch scale length. And you’ll be glad these appointments are present as soon as you grab hold of the Bigsby B70 vibrato to inject an immense swath of expression into your sonic profile, from subtle to soaring.
