Gretsch G6128T-59 Vintage Select '59 Duo Jet with Bigsby, Black

Gretsch G6128T-59 Vintage Select '59 Duo Jet with Bigsby, Black Overview

Built to vintage-spec excellence, the G6128T-59 Vintage Select Edition '59 Duo will take you way back to Gretsch's golden age. As authentic as a reproduction can be, the intoxicating sound of those TV Jones Classic Filter'Tron pickups is not just skin deep; genuine Squeezebox PIO capacitors have been used in the Treble Bleed circuit to keep that authentic tone true at any volume.

Authentic excellence is continued with a laminated maple top over a highly resonant Mahogany body, which due to its generous resonance chambers, is both light and lively sounding. Playing comfort is guaranteed via a maple neck with "Vintage V" profile, while a Gretsch Space Control bridge with a pinned ebony base, and a premium Bigsby B3CB vibrato tailpiece provide the classic Gretsch juice. Grover Sta-Tite tuners and a bone nut provide excellent tuning stability, and when wrapped up with its timeless black finish, this Gretsch become a truly memorable guitar.

What Gretsch say:

Inspired by the pivotal and prolific years of Gretsch’s 1950s and early ’60s golden age, Vintage Select Edition guitars are designed for the player who appreciates the finest in musical instrument heritage. The new G6128T-59 Vintage Select ’59 Duo Jet with Bigsby rocks that legacy to perfection.

The Duo Jet is the Gretsch flagship “solid body” guitar, with signature power and punch coming from its chambered mahogany construction, which magnifies harmonic richness by letting air resonate between the top and body for livelier and more articulate tone. 1959 marked the first year that Filter’Tron pickups appeared on the Jet, and the dual TV Jones Classic pickups on this vintage-style baby replicate that unmistakable vintage Filter’Tron sound to fabulous sonic effect.
