Chambered Black Limba Body with Bound Carved Black Limba Top, Sculpted Forearm & Body Contours & Rounded Heel
At the heart of this Electromatic Jet is a black limba body with max core chambering and a carved black limba top. An exotic wood with singular looks and stellar tone, black limba is prized for it's balance of smooth, rich midrange with enhanced presence and clarity. The result is a voice that feels both familiar and refined — organic, musical, and effortlessly expressive. A smooth rounded heel allows for unimpeded access to the highest frets, while subtle comfort contours on the body create a balanced ergonomic fit for effortless playability and enhanced comfort.​

Black Limba Neck with Performance “C” Neck Profile & Bound Ebony Fingerboard
We’ve crafted a balanced, rounded "C" profile with tapered shoulders that is comfortable for all players with just enough mass to ensure precise playability in all positions.​ An ideal neck material, black limba has exceptional resonance and a lively, responsive feel from the very first note. Crowning the neck is a genuine ebony fingerboard with 1-ply aged white binding. Ebony's exceptional density delivers a smooth, almost glass-like playing surface that rewards fast, fluid technique. Tonally, ebony adds brilliant articulation and a bell-like clarity.

GraphTech NuBone Nut Superior Tuning Stability
A GraphTech NuBone nut delivers consistent and balanced tone, enhanced resonance and sustain, and superior playability. Optimized break angle and string-pull to the tuning keys solves the problem of strings sticking or slipping. These features create rock-solid stable tuning that will power your longest and most aggressive performances without missing a beat. ​

PureVolt™ Twin Six™ Humbuckers
PureVolt™ Twin Six™ humbuckers are beautifully dynamic, exceptionally expressive and addictively powerful. ​Each pickup features twelve adjustable pole pieces for precise attack and unrestrained flexibility. In the neck position Alnico IV magnets are paired with plain enamel coated wire, while in the bridge Alnico V magnets pair with plain enamel coated wire. Specially calibrated coil winds create incredible balance and raw humbucker power with amazing clarity and versatility, while vacuum wax-potting keeps noise and interference to a minimum.

Lockdown™ Locking Adjustable Wraparound Bridge
Simplicity and functionality come together in the form of our Lockdown™ locking adjustable wraparound tailpiece. A bridge and tailpiece all in one unit, the wraparound tailpiece provides enhanced sustain and note attack, with adjustable saddles for pinpoint intonation. For maximum coupling, rock-solid tuning stability and trouble-free string changes, the bridge posts lock the bridge down tight. This ensures optimal operation and superior transfer of string energy for bigger, fuller tone with more percussive attack and longer sustain

Advanced Electronics
The Electromatic Jet is equipped with a control circuit designed to give you complete tonal control. A master volume with treble bleed circuit provides precise adjustment while maintaining clarity at any volume. Individual pickup tone controls provide intuitive control, calibrated for stellar tone at every setting. Push/Pull tone controls unlock snappy and glassy true single-coil timbres for each pickup, and better yet each single coil combines for a hum-cancelling pair in the middle position.
