G6128T-53 Vintage Select '53 Duo Jet with Bigsby - A Resonant Journey to the Past: The G6128T-53 Vintage Select '53 Duo Jet with Bigsby is a testament to Gretsch's homage to the golden age of the 1950s and early ’60s. Drawing inspiration from this pivotal era, the Vintage Select Edition guitars are meticulously designed for players who value the finest in musical instrument heritage. This finely crafted guitar represents a new take on one of Gretsch’s first and dearest models, the Duo Jet. Originally introduced in 1953 as Gretsch’s flagship “solid body” guitar, the Duo Jet's signature power and punch are derived from its chambered mahogany design. This construction allows air to resonate between the top and body, magnifying harmonic richness for a livelier and more articulate tone. The G6128T-53 Duo Jet with Bigsby encapsulates this original-era beauty, adorned with special touches like the rare Gretsch “script” headstock logo and dual TV Jones T-Armond pickups that faithfully replicate the vintage DynaSonic sound.
