DISC Gretsch G6128T-57 Vintage Select '57 Duo Jet, Cadillac Green

Full Description

Chambered Mahogany Body

Like its original 1950s ancestor, the new 2017 Gretsch G6128T-57 Vintage Select '57 Duo Jet is designed with mid-50s-style sound chambers, making the guitar lightweight, and offering a superb resonance. Its chambered mahogany design magnifies harmonic richness by letting air resonate between the top and body for livelier and more articulate tone.

TV Jones T-Armond Pickups

The Gretsch G6128T-57 Vintage Select '57 Duo Jet recreates that classic tone of the 1950s era with a duo of TV Jones T-Almond pickups. These pickups use large alnico cylinder magnets and thin magnet wire, and provide accurate string-to-string balance. Players can achieve a variety of thick tones, that are clear, transparent and balanced, replicating that classic DynaSonic sound we all know and love.

Synchro-Sonic Bridge With Bigsby

The Synchro-Sonic bridge was first introduced in 1951, and delivers perfect intonation in all registers by means of movable string rests. Each string is allowed to find its own true octave and true intervals in all positions. All strings can be accurately tuned and locked in place without the need for a screwdriver. The G6128T-57 also features Gretsch's legendary Bigsby B3CBDE vibrato tailpiece, which provides a smooth tremolo system for creating vibrato effects, along with subtle movements in chords.
