Exotic black limba construction and flexible electronics give the Gretsch Limited-Edition Electromatic Black Limba Jet electric guitar a distinctive take on the iconic single-cut design. Its chambered black limba body is topped with carved black limba and finished in gloss Sunburst, highlighting the wood grain while sculpted contours and a rounded heel refine the playing experience. PureVolt Twin Six humbuckers cover robust clean sounds and powerful overdrive, with individual push-pull tone controls providing coil splits for additional tonal options. A bound ebony fingerboard, LockDown locking bridge and gold hardware complete a limited-edition Jet built with unmistakable Gretsch style and practical versatility.
Chambered Black Limba With Carved Jet Style
The chambered black limba body gives this Electromatic Jet a resonant foundation and distinctive natural appearance. A bound carved black limba top adds dimension to the classic single-cut silhouette, while the gloss polyester Sunburst finish brings the grain to the foreground. Sculpted forearm and body contours help the guitar sit comfortably against the player, and the rounded heel improves access as lines move toward the upper frets. Together, these details give the limited-edition model a refined shape that balances traditional Jet identity with a more accommodating feel.
Bound Ebony Fingerboard Supports Fluid Playing
The black limba neck uses Gretsch’s Performance “C” profile for a comfortable, fast-playing feel. Its 24.88" scale length provides a responsive platform for rhythm and lead work, while the 12"-radius bound ebony fingerboard offers a smooth surface for chords, bends and position shifts. Twenty-two medium-jumbo frets provide a substantial fretting surface, and pearloid Neo-Classic thumbnail inlays supply a familiar Gretsch visual signature. A 1.6875" Graph Tech NuBone nut completes the neck with consistent string spacing and dependable performance.
PureVolt Twin Six Humbuckers Expand Tonal Range
PureVolt Twin Six humbuckers give the Black Limba Jet the power and clarity to move from robust clean tones to driven rhythm and lead sounds. A three-position toggle selects the bridge pickup, both pickups or the neck pickup, while separate neck and bridge tone controls allow more precise shaping than a shared-tone layout. Each tone control also features a push-pull coil split for accessing leaner pickup textures. The master volume incorporates a treble bleed circuit to help retain clarity when rolling back the guitar’s output, expanding its usable range without complicating operation.
LockDown Bridge Anchors the Hardware Package
The LockDown locking adjustable wraparound bridge provides a secure connection while allowing individual intonation adjustments. Die-cast sealed tuning machines complete the straightforward hardware package, and knurled plain-top metal knobs give the volume and tone controls a substantial surface under the fingers. Gold hardware creates bold contrast against the Sunburst finish and natural black limba grain, while the black plexi pickguard maintains a clean, cohesive appearance. These appointments reinforce the guitar’s limited-edition character without distracting from the sculpted Jet silhouette.
Limited-Edition Materials With Versatile Gretsch Power
With its chambered body, carved black limba top and sculpted contours, this Jet combines distinctive materials with a performance-focused design. PureVolt Twin Six humbuckers supply powerful clean and overdriven voices, while independent tone controls, coil splitting and treble bleed functionality provide meaningful flexibility from a concise control layout. It is a strong fit for players seeking classic Jet identity with exotic wood character and an expanded range of pickup sounds. The Gretsch Limited-Edition Electromatic Black Limba Jet electric guitar brings those elements together in a refined, versatile solidbody.
