Limited Edition Electromatic Pristine Jet

The Gretsch Electromatic Pristine LTD Jet is a limited edition single cut electric guitar built for players who want classic Gretsch tone with premium appointments. It features a chambered mahogany body with an arched maple top and gold hardware throughout. Two FT-5E FilterTron pickups with cream inserts deliver the brand's signature sound. The thin U shaped mahogany neck carries a 12 inch radius laurel fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets.

Upgrade From Standard Electromatics

This model replaces standard Electromatic Jets by adding a chambered body for lighter weight and enhanced resonance. The maple top and gold hardware elevate the visual and sonic package above base configurations. A Bigsby B50 vibrato tailpiece is included as standard equipment rather than an add on. The jump is worth it when you want the full FilterTron voice with premium cosmetics and hardware in one factory package.

Suits FilterTron Players Wanting Deluxe Specs

Guitarists who favour the articulate midrange and chime of FilterTron pickups will appreciate the chambered construction and upscale finish. The 12 inch radius and medium jumbo frets suit modern lead work and chord voicings alike. Players who prefer a thicker neck profile or humbucker aggression should look at something else. Those needing a hardtail bridge or simpler control layout may find the Bigsby and master volume unnecessary.

Questions about this item

What are the neck shape and fingerboard radius on this Gretsch Electromatic Pristine LTD Jet?

The neck has a Thin U profile and the laurel fingerboard is a 12-inch radius.

How do I install the Bigsby B50 vibrato tailpiece correctly, and what is the common mistake?

The Bigsby B50 mounts to the top with screws and a hinge plate; the step most people miss is setting the string break angle over the bridge so the arm returns to pitch without binding.

When will the FT-5E FilterTron pickups or the 22 medium jumbo frets need attention?

Frets typically require a level-and-crown after heavy wear; pickups are passive and maintenance-free unless a coil fails, which is rare.
