Electric guitar from Professional Collection and Vintage Selection Edition. 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. The new G6128T-59 Vintage Select ’59 Duo Jet with Bigsby rocks that legacy to perfection. The Duo Jet is the Gretsch flagship “solid body” guitar, with signature power and punch coming from its chambered mahogany construction, which magnifies harmonic richness by letting air resonate between the top and body for livelier and more articulate tone. 1959 marked the first year that Filter’Tron pickups appeared on the Jet, and the dual TV Jones Classic pickups on this vintage-style baby replicate that unmistakable vintage Filter’Tron sound to fabulous sonic effect. Premium features include 1959 specs and appointments, Dual TV Jones Classic Filter’Tron pickups, Aged body and neck binding, aged fingerboard inlays, White pickguard, Space Control bridge with pinned ebony base and Bigsby B3CB vibrato tailpiece and Treble bleed circuit, “Squeezebox” PIO capacitors.

Ebony is a very hard and dense wood with a smooth surface and a rich, dark color. It offers a clear, articulate tone with excellent response. The ebony fingerboard is popular for its durability, speed and luxurious appearance, while offering excellent playability and precise tone.
The glossy finish gives any surface an elegant and luxurious look. This type of finish is achieved by applying several layers of lacquer or resin, which are then polished to a high gloss. This provides a smooth, reflective finish, enhancing color and structure of substrate. The glossy finish not only improves aesthetics, but also protects against dust, moisture and minor scratches.
A singlecut is a type of electric guitar with a single cutout in the top of the body to improve access to the higher frets. This design features a solid body that offers strong sustain and rich tone. Singlecut guitars are popular for their robust sound and comfort.
Maple is known for its strength and stability, making it ideal for necks that need to resist bending and warping.
Mahogany is a dense wood that produces a warm, full tone with rich bass and a strong mid-range. It is known for its excellent sustain and resonance, giving it a deep and round sound.
