Overview

The Limited Edition Electromatic Black Limba Jet stands out for its superb finish and a pair of Gretsch PureVolt Twin Six humbucking pickups. It features a chambered body and a set Black Limba neck, finished with an ebony fingerboard (22 frets).

A prestigious wood for brilliant tones

Black Limba, better known as Korina, is a prestigious variety of mahogany native to African forests. This wood has a higher density than standard mahogany, producing a more crystalline and dynamic sound. The ebony fingerboard, which musically compresses the sound, is particularly well-suited for contexts requiring precision and nuance.

An innovative design with a chambered body for a rich sound

The “chambered” body, featuring strategically placed cavities, is designed to reduce the instrument’s weight while preserving its tonal identity. This adds a subtle acoustic dimension, enriching the tones while maintaining a mellow character. In summary, this configuration produces a full-bodied sound, with warm lows, rich mids, and strikingly clear highs.

Tone Controls for Maximum Expressiveness

The Gretsch PureVolt Twin Six pickups offer significant flexibility, allowing you to switch between single-coil and humbucking modes via push-pull tone knobs (one for each pickup). The “treble bleed” circuit on the volume knob helps preserve high frequencies when the volume is turned down, providing smooth and natural control.

Playing Comfort and Accessibility

With its ergonomic cutaway, short 24.88" scale length, 12" radius, and Performance C neck profile, the Limited Edition Electromatic Black Limba Jet is a pleasure to play. It’s an outstanding choice for beginners, while also appealing to experienced musicians looking for a high-performance, elegant instrument to add to their collection.
