Description
This is a B-Stock guitar in near-perfect condition. It is not a returned, refurbished, or used instrument, and it still has the full factory warranty. It may show signs of being played in-store.
Drawing inspiration from the golden era of Gretsch guitars, the Vintage Select series incorporates many of the most iconic features of '50s and '60s Gretsches. This Japanese-made G6128T-53 Duo Jet boasts exquisite craftsmanship and a vintage tone that's to die for-its TV Jones pickups perfectly capture the big, glassy sound of original DynaSonics. Whether you're an old-school Gretsch enthusiast or are seeking a premium guitar with a rich, traditional voice, the G6128T-53 Vintage Select '53 Duo Jet is a fantastic choice that'll keep you satisfied for years to come.
The G6128T-53 sports a chambered mahogany body fit with an arched maple top. This construction gives it a captivating sound with robust lows, full mids, and pristine highs. It doesn't just sound amazing, though-its Standard "U" shaped neck has a nice, substantial feel but still feels nimble enough to perform lightning-fast licks and dexterous leads. Additionally, its aluminum compensated bridge offers precise intonation, and its Bigsby B3CCB tailpiece allows for deep vibrato effects.
Nothing beats the legendary sound of vintage DynaSonic pickups, and that's exactly what the G6128T-53's TV Jones T-Armond pickups are designed after. These incredible pickups deliver sparkling highs, big, blooming lows, and a slightly tamed midrange, a winning tonal combination that sounds wonderful in any performance setting. And for players who love grit, gristle, and distortion, they perform remarkably well with heavy gain.
Topped off with Grover Sta-Tite die-cast tuners, a smooth rosewood fingerboard, aged pearloid block inlays, and a deluxe hardshell case, the Gretsch G6128T-53 Vintage Select '53 Duo Jet is a phenomenal guitar that exudes elegance from top to bottom. Collectors and vintage Gretsch buffs, beware-once you start riffing on this outstanding Duo Jet, you'll never want to put it down.
