DISC Gretsch G6129T Silver Jet with Bigsby, Silver Sparkle

Full Description

Materials

The Gretsch G6129T Silver Jet is beautifully crafted with a chambered mahogany body with arched laminated maple top, providing you with a lightweight guitar. This semi-hollow design provides the same properties as a solid bodied guitar, but with reduced weight.

High Sensitive Filter'Tron Pickups

Equipped with a pair of high sensitive Filter'Tron pickups, the G6129T filters out any undesirable hum that is commonly associated with single-coil pickups. These innovative pickups feature dual-coils and are especially designed to filter electronic hum, while adding a warm tone with enhanced output and sustain. Achieving the perfect sound is easy with the three-way toggle switch, along with independent volume controls and master volume control.

Space Control Roller bridge

This innovative style bridge is named after its method of adjusting the spacing between each string. Designed by Gretsch’s own Jimmie Webster, the Space Control bridge offers a simple adjustment of the spacing between each string, using the six wheel-shaped saddles positioned along a threaded bar. This allows the player to set a broad string spread for finger-style work or a narrow spread for pick and chord work.

Bigsby B3C Vibrato

Like many guitars by Gretsch, the Silver Jet features a Bigsby B3C Vibrato tailpiece which offers a smooth tremolo system to create classic sounding pitch bend, providing evenly spread movement across all strings. The Bigsby can be used to create subtle movements in chords, adding extra depth and texture to your sound.

Ornate Details

This stunning guitar not only features a silver sparkle finish, but is also complete with a full host of ornate details that boast classic Gretsch features. These iconic details include Space Control™ bridge, Bigsby® B3C vibrato tailpiece, silver plexi pickguard with Gretsch® logo, knurled strap retainer knobs, G-Arrow control knobs and Grover® Sta-Tite™ die-cast tuners. This stunning guitar also comes complete with a deluxe hardshell case for storage and transportation.
