Description
This is the G6128T-TVP Power Jet w/ Bigsby Tailpiece in the classic black finish. The Power Jet is constructed in classic 1959 styling with a few modern touches including TV Jones Power’Tron pickups and a pinned Adjusto-MaticTM bridge. The Power Jet also ads strap locks and deluxe Gotoh locking tuners. These features make this the ideal Jet for a player looking for the classic Duo Jet look and sound but with more modern functionality. The Jet can be considered a solid body guitar because it’s constructed of a solid mahogany back, but due to a heavily chambered body and a 3 ply maple top the guitar retains some of the hollow body tone Gretsch guitars are famous for. Additionally the heavily chambered design makes the guitar very lightweight and well balanced. The duo jets play extremely well with great action and professional level fretwork. The Power’Trons are over are over-wound versions of the classic Filter’Trons with a hotter output with a much more pronounced midrange. They are bright and snappy with plenty of punch and sound great when played clean or with as much gain as you can throw at them. Though they may be better suited for high gain playing then the standard Filter’Trons they still have the rich and full clean tone that Gretsch guitars are known for. We are a long standing fully authorized independent Gretsch guitar dealer. This is a brand new factory first guitar and comes with the deluxe Gretsch hard case, all documentation and the Gretsch Limited lifetime warranty. If you have any questions at all please feel free to give us a call!
