Gretsch Electromatic Premier Jet EB Onyx Storm

A Chambered Jet Built for Punch, Clarity and Wide Tonal Control

The Gretsch Electromatic Premier Jet blends the focused punch of a solid-body guitar with the added resonance of a chambered design. Its mahogany body with carved maple top creates a lively response with strong attack, clear mids and a full low end. The chambering keeps the guitar responsive and balanced, while the sculpted contours and rounded heel make the instrument comfortable to hold and easy to play higher up the neck.

Sphera Twin Six humbuckers give the Premier Jet a broad tonal range. Each pickup uses twelve adjustable pole pieces to refine string balance and articulation, delivering everything from clear, defined clean tones to thick overdriven sounds. A master volume with treble bleed keeps the tone articulate at lower levels, while individual no-load tone controls allow detailed shaping of each pickup. Pulling the master volume engages the Lumen Filter, tightening the response for sharper attack and more percussive tones.

The mahogany neck uses a Performance C profile that sits comfortably in the hand, paired with a bound ebony fingerboard featuring a 10 to 14 inch compound radius. This design supports relaxed chord playing in lower positions while allowing smoother bends and faster passages further up the neck. Luminlay side dots help maintain clear visibility on darker stages.

A Lockdown locking wraparound bridge anchors firmly to the body to improve sustain and string energy transfer, while locking tuners and locking strap buttons add practical reliability for rehearsals, recording sessions and live performances.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think this guitar suits players who want the punch and presence of a Jet combined with modern electronics that expand its tonal range across a wide range of musical styles.
