This is a new limited edition factory special run “FSR” model designed by and made exclusively for Cream City Music! Original champagne sparkle Jet's are very rare and until now there has never been a proper reissue of this uniquely Gretsch gem! Our all new G6129T-1962 borrows features from a few classic Sparkle Jet models made in the mid 1960’s. We've brought back the luxurious Champagne Sparkle top offset by the natural mahogany back and sides and gorgeous gold hardware. We could not be happier with how these turned out! The champagne sparkle is spot on and looks absolutely stunning in person. Just as it was back in the 1960’s, the sparkle used for the top is the same used by Gretsch and many other classic drum companies for shell covering. The double cutaway G6129T-1962 Sparkle Jet has an extremely cool and unique vibe to it but also packs tremendous tone and playability.The 1960’s Duo Jet models all featured a double cutaway body style. This design is a bit lighter than a single cut version and offers much improved access to the higher frets. The Duo Jet can be considered a solid body guitar because it’s constructed of a solid mahogany back. However, due to the heavily chambered body and a 3 ply maple top, the guitar retains some of that sweet hollow body Gretsch tone. The neck is a slightly slimmer “C” shape with softer taper and traditional feel. This shape, combined with a 12” fretboard radius and 19th fret neck joint gives the guitar tremendous playability and accessibility. The pickups are the classic Gretsch "HS" FilterTron's which are widely known for their fantastic and versatile tone. The voice of the guitar is clear and true with tight bass response and crystal clear treble. The pickups offer very low noise and sound fantastic clean but handle quite a bit of overdrive as well! The guitar is well suited for a multitude of playing styles from jazz to blues and rock & roll.The guitar is as unique as it is stylish and represents an era of Gretsch that does not get enough praise. Exactly sixteen G6129T-1962 models were made and they are exclusive to Cream City Music. This is a brand new factory first guitar and comes with the deluxe Gretsch hard case, all factory documentation and the Gretsch limited lifetime warranty.Features:-Weight: 8lbs 5 oz
