Gretsch Guitars - Electromatic Jet Club Riviera Blue

The iconic silhouette of this Gretsch Electromatic Jet Club Riviera Blue hides its true colours behind an elegant riviera blue finish. As soon as you pick it up, the chambered mahogany body reveals a surprisingly woody resonance, much more lively than a standard full guitar. This internal structure makes the instrument lighter, saving your shoulders during extended rehearsals or energetic concerts. The visual combination of the tortoiseshell-style 3-ply pickguard and nickel hardware gives the impression of holding a collector's item from the 1950s.

On the electronics side, the two PureVolt Twin Six pickups propel a thick, grainy sound, typical of the brand's 'Filter'Tron' character. Thanks to the push-pull potentiometers, you can switch instantly from a powerful double-coil to a more incisive single-coil sound for your funk casseroles. The Master Volume incorporates a Treble Bleed circuit, which preserves all the clarity of your highs even when you turn down the gain. It's the tool of choice for sculpting precise acoustic textures without losing an ounce of dynamics.

Playing comfort is based on a mahogany neck with a Performance C profile secured by a Set-Neck construction, for endless sustain on every note. The set rosewood fingerboard houses 22 Medium Jumbo frets for easy bends and expressive vibratos. Neo-Classic Thumbnail inlays in mother-of-pearl guide your fingers in style over the 632 mm scale. For stability, the LockDown bridge and Graph Tech NuBone saddle ensure unflappable tuning, no matter how hard you pick.
