Chambered Mahogany Body with Carved Maple Top

At the core of the Electromatic Premier Jet is a chambered mahogany body paired with a bound carved maple top. This construction delivers outstanding acoustic balance, producing strong attack, a rich and present midrange, powerful low end, and shimmering highs.

Sculpted forearm and body contours enhance comfort, while the smooth rounded heel provides effortless access to the highest frets, allowing fluid movement across the entire fingerboard.

Comfortable Performance C Neck Profile

The mahogany neck features a carefully shaped Performance C profile with gently tapered shoulders. This balanced design feels immediately familiar in the hand, offering comfort for all playing styles while retaining enough mass for stability, sustain, and precise control in every position.

Compound Radius Ebony Fingerboard

A bound ebony fingerboard with a 10 inch to 14 inch compound radius delivers smooth playability for chords and fast lead work alike. The silky feel of ebony contributes warmth and clarity to the tone, while medium jumbo frets provide confident bending and clean articulation.

Pearloid Neo Classic thumbnail inlays and Luminlay side dots ensure excellent visibility, even on dimly lit stages.

Sphera Twin Six Humbuckers

Sphera Twin Six humbuckers are beautifully dynamic, powerful, and highly expressive. Each pickup features twelve adjustable pole pieces for precise tonal shaping and response. Alnico VI magnets and carefully selected coil wire types are used in both neck and bridge positions, creating a perfect balance of brilliance, punch, and harmonic richness.

Vacuum wax potting minimises unwanted noise, ensuring clarity and focus even at high gain levels.

Lockdown Hardware for Stability and Sustain

The Lockdown locking adjustable wraparound bridge ensures maximum coupling between strings and body, delivering enhanced sustain, percussive attack, and tuning stability. Locking tuners make string changes fast and reliable, while locking strap buttons provide added security for energetic performances.

Advanced Electronics for Total Control

Advanced electronics give the Electromatic Premier Jet exceptional tonal flexibility. A master volume with treble bleed circuit maintains clarity at any level, while individual no load pickup tone controls deliver sparkling highs and rich detail throughout their range.

A push pull function on the master volume engages the custom Lumen Filter, tightening the low end and enhancing response for punchy high gain tones and crisp, articulate cleans.
