It hearkens back to Gretsch's earlier days by revisiting the year that gave birth to Gretsch's Duo Jet, so this one stays true to its roots. The guitar's chambered mahogany body and comfortable "U" shaped neck provide excellent resonance and stability throughout. Its dual T-Armond pickups and treble bleed circuit are specially designed to recreate the original 1953 Duo Jet's DynaSonic pickup tone, which is perfect for blues-rock playing, while having a diverse enough sonic palette to appeal to a variety of playing styles. A few other nice touches on the G6128T-53 Duo Jet include Gretch's rare "script" headstock logo, aged pearloid block inlays, a pinned Aluminum Compensated bridge, and a 1-ply Vintage White pickguard, all of which aid in the guitar's playability while also exemplifying its vintage aesthetic. If you're after a classic guitar in terms of tone, looks, and feel, then this Gretsch is a superb choice.About the Guitar (from gretsch.com):Inspired by the pivotal and prolific years of Gretsch’s 1950s and early ’60s golden age, Vintage Select Edition guitars are designed for the player who appreciates the finest in musical instrument heritage.
