Gretsch G6128T-59 Vintage Select '59 Duo Jet 'Black' Electric Guitar

The Gretsch G6128T-59 Vintage Select '59 Duo Jet is a faithful recreation of one of the most important electric guitars of the late 1950s, built to honour the specific configuration that made the Duo Jet a cornerstone of rockabilly, country, and early rock and roll. The chambered mahogany body with arched laminated maple top delivers the Duo Jet's signature combination of punch and harmonic richness, more resonant and lively than a conventional solid body, with an airiness and midrange complexity that is instantly recognisable. 1959 was the first year Filter'Tron pickups appeared on the Jet, and the dual TV Jones Classic pickups fitted here replicate that unmistakable vintage voicing with genuine authenticity.

The vintage V neck profile, ebony fingerboard, pearloid Neo-Classic thumbnail inlays, Bigsby B3CB vibrato, and Space Control bridge complete a specification that is as visually arresting as it is tonally distinguished, ideal for players who want the genuine Gretsch experience, the snap, twang, and warmth that few other guitars deliver, and for collectors who value the significance of the '59 configuration specifically.
