Gretsch Electromatic Black Limba Jet Ltd - sunburst

Available as a limited edition, the GRETSCH Limited Edition Electromatic Black Limba Jet solid body electric guitar (2514103559) produces rich, responsive, and punchy tones that will appeal to many guitarists, including fans of pop-rock, hard blues, or even hard rock.

The Limited Edition Electromatic Black Limba Jet stands out for its superb finish and a pair of Gretsch PureVolt Twin Six humbucking pickups, but above all for its chambered body, a Black Limba set neck, and an ebony fingerboard (22 frets).
Better known as Korina, Black Limba is a prestigious variety of mahogany sourced from African forests. It has a significantly higher density than common mahogany, producing a more crystalline tone.
The ebony fingerboard provides a noticeable and musical compression to the sound, a characteristic that may prove valuable in certain musical contexts requiring extra precision.
A “chambered” body features tonal chambers. These are small cavities whose placement has been carefully designed for optimal efficiency. This technique reduces the instrument’s weight without altering its tonal identity, while adding a subtle acoustic dimension and a mellow character to the sound.
Ultimately, this combination of features produces a rich, punchy tone with clarity, bite, and remarkable responsiveness. The bass is warm and dynamic, the mids are rich, and the highs are both full-bodied and clear.

The Gretsch PureVolt Twin Six pickups can be switched between single-coil and humbucking modes using the push-pull tone knobs (one for each pickup).
The “treble bleed” circuit built into the volume knob limits the attenuation of high frequencies when the volume is turned down, providing a more gradual and natural response.
This allows you to achieve massive overdrive tones as well as airy crunch and subtle clean tones.

With its ergonomic cutaway, short 24.88" scale length, 12" radius, and Performance C neck profile, the Limited Edition Electromatic Black Limba Jet is very easy to play.
Carefully crafted and affordably priced, it’s a remarkable option for beginners but will also appeal to more experienced musicians looking for a high-performance, stylish instrument to round out their collection.
