Today we're taking a look at the Gretsch Electromatic Premier Jet, a killer blend of sparkle and power. The Premier Jet delivers both clean guitar tones and rich overdriven tones, with that classic Gretsch chambered mahogany body and maple top. It's elegant, powerful and versatile. These's so much to love about this new sub-$1000 guitar from Gretsch, but just ONE detail I'm still hung up on.
