Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Nick 13's Electromatic Tiger Jet combines a chambered mahogany body with two Black Top Filter’Tron pickups for the rockabilly sound described by Gretsch, including full lows and clean highs. The single-cutaway guitar uses a three-way pickup switch, individual pickup volumes, master volume, and master tone. An anchored Adjusto-Matic bridge works with the Bigsby B50 vibrato tailpiece. Its black finish, white binding, cream pickup inserts, oxblood TigerBat pickguard, chrome hardware, and TigerBat inlays make the signature styling an immediate part of the instrument.
