The Electromatic Series is Gretsch's version of Fender Squier and Gibson Epiphone apart from two differences, they are way better and secondly they are not afraid to put their name to the guitar. This single cutaway solid body guitar competes with the highest spec that you will find with its competitors. It has two HILOTRON pickups which give a very traditional Gretsch sound which are very different to a standard Les Paul. Although based upon the LP it's curves are much softer and has a great feel. It's in good condition but it does have a few dinks. The neck is straight and true and plays like a dream and the guitar has no buzzing when plugged in.

It was made in China in the Yako Musical factory that Fender 2004

Played it through our three usual amps; Peavey Valveking II, Marshall Valvestate and Fender Mustang and was really impressed.It doesn't really matter what you play this through as the quality is so high. Clean its brilliant and crisp but with good use of the tone controls give a deep mellow sound you would normally associate with an archtop. On distortion it blows you away.

What Gretsch Say

GRETSCH ELECTROMATIC SYNCHROMATIC SERIES

Brand name: Gretsch    Series Name Gretsch Electromatic Synchromatic Series The Gretsch Jet Club G1413 was an electric guitar in the Korean-made Electromatic line from Gretsch. It sold between 2000 and 2003. The Electromatic brand was applied to a series of less-expensive solids and semis based on classic Gretsch designs, priced to compete with Epiphone and similar budget brands. 

The small-bodied solid Jet Club has the classic 1950s Gretsch single-cutaway shape: an interpretation of the Les Paul body style. The Jet Club's angled back headstock uses the slim Gretsch outline with the central hump top and tuners are standard large button contemporary types in chrome. Early examples had a 'by Gretsch' suffix under the Electromatic brand logo on the face, but this has now gone missing, leaving the truss-rod cover to confirm the company connections up top.

The nut slots are cut for minimal first fret clearance and their spacing leaves plenty of room between E strings and edges of the fingerboard. The latter is an unbound smooth-ish length of r wood with slim to medium frets. These are partnered by block position markers and the white side repeater dots could be brighter for better reference. The all-black gloss finish on the neck blends well with the body colour scheme and also hides the scarf joint for the headstock. The neck  has a comfortable C-profile. The Jet Club has a four-screw neck fixing method, a departure from Gretsch tradition which isn't overtly obvious from the front.

Although the Jet Club superficially resembles a Les Paul, the curves of this single-cutaway body are broader and more squat, the same as those devised by Gretsch back in the 50s as this maker's answer to Gibson's then new solid six-string. The lack of body contouring or carving creates a slabby, Les Paul Junior-like image, further reinforced by the lack of binding and the shading of the high-gloss tobacco sunburst finish with black back and sides. Although the manufacturer’s specification states that the body is alder, inspection of the control cavity reveals multi-laminated construction, confirmed by some faint rippling apparent in the finish on the sides.

The pickguard is cut to the classic Gretsch 50s shape and bears the company logo, as do the chromed cover pickups, which have vaguely FilterTron styling and contribute to the vintage Gretsch vibe. Their metal surrounds are equally shiny, while the Gibson design-derived bridge and bar tailpiece. The control layout is equally pure Les Paul in terms of components and their respective locations.
