Gretsch G6128T-53 Vintage Select 53 Duo Black

Description

GRETSCH G6128T-53 VINTAGE SELECT ’53 DUO BLACK

Inspired by Gretsch's crucial and prolific years in the 1950s and the beginning of the "golden age" of the 1960s, Vintage Select Edition guitars are designed for the player who appreciates the best of musical instrument heritage. The G6128T-53 Vintage Select '53 Duo Jet™ with Bigsby® unveils that legacy with a finely crafted new look on one of Gretsch's earliest and most beloved models.

The Duo Jet debuted in 1953 as Gretsch's flagship "solid body" guitar, although its power and punch came from its chambered mahogany design, which enhances harmonic richness by allowing air to resonate between the top and body for a more lively and articulate tone. This is all here on this original era beauty, along with special touches including the rare "script" headstock "Gretsch" logo and two TV Jones® T-Armond™ pickups that acutely replicate the vintage DynaSonic™ sound.
