Gretsch Electromatic Premier Jet Onyx Storm

At the heart of each Electromatic Premier Jet is a mahogany body with max core chambering and a carved maple top. Designed for exceptional acoustic balance, this precise combination delivers strong attack with a rich, present mid-range, big lows and shimmering musical highs. A smooth rounded heel allows for unimpeded access to the highest frets, while subtle comfort contours on the body create a balanced ergonomic fit for effortless playability and enhanced comfort.

We’ve crafted a balanced, rounded "C" profile with tapered shoulders that is comfortable for all players with just enough mass to ensure precise playability in all positions. Mahogany construction lays a perfect foundation for bold and powerful tone.

When it comes to tone and playability, there’s almost nothing more important than an instrument’s fingerboard. Electromatic Premier Jets feature a genuine ebony fingerboard with 1-ply aged white binding that generates both smooth, silky feel and warm, woody tone. Luminlay® glow-in the-dark side dots provide exceptional visibility even on the darkest stages

Sphera™ Twin Six™ humbuckers are beautifully dynamic, exceptionally expressive and addictively powerful. Each pickup features twelve adjustable pole pieces for precise attack and unrestrained flexibility. In the neck position Alnico VI magnets pair with clear poly sol coated wire, while in the bridge Alnico VI magnets pair with plain enamel coated wire. Specially calibrated coil winds create the perfect marriage of brilliance and brute force, while vacuum wax-potting keeps noise and interference to a minimum.

Simplicity and functionality come together in the form of our Lockdown™ locking adjustable wraparound tailpiece. For maximum coupling, rock-solid tuning stability and trouble-free string changes, the bridge posts lock the bridge down tight. This ensures optimal operation and superior transfer of string energy for bigger, fuller tone with more percussive attack and longer sustain. High-performance locking tuners enable lightning-fast string changes and tuning enhanced stability. Locking strap-buttons provide worry-free security for active performers.

The Electromatic Premier Jet is equipped with a control circuit designed to give you complete tonal control and powerful versatility. A master volume with treble bleed circuit provides precise adjustment while maintaining clarity at any volume. Individual pickup tone controls with no-load construction ensure lively, sparkling clarity at full tilt with stellar tone at every setting. A Push/Pull function on the master volume control engages the custom Lumen™ Filter, for an even tighter, snappier response that excels at both percussive hi-gain tones and crystalline clean tones.
