The G6128T-53 Vintage Select '53 Duo Jet takes you back to 1953, a hallmark year for Gretsch guitars. That was the year Gretsch introduced their new flagship solidbody electric guitar, the Duo Jet. The '53 Duo Jet combined the harmonic resonance of a chambered mahogany body with a pair of Gretsch's finest single-coil pickups, the DynaSonics, whose clear and bold tone made them ideal for the emerging world of rock 'n' roll. The G6128T-53 Vintage Select '53 Duo Jet delivers this same sound by combining TV Jones T-Armond pickups with a period-accurate Treble Bleed circuit featuring Squeezebox PIO capacitors. Aged pearloid block inlays, a pinned aluminum compensated bridge, and a genuine Bigsby B3CCB vibrato tailpiece complete the picture.
