Gretsch 6128T-59 Duo Jet 1959 Reissue - Japan 2017

The Gretsch Duo Jet has been a standout in the Gretsch lineup since the early 1950s—a guitar that blends the punch and clarity of a solidbody with the warmth and resonance of a hollowbody. The 1959 iteration is especially revered for its elegant styling and exceptional tonal versatility, and this 2017 Vintage Select reissue captures that spirit beautifully.

Finished in a stunning Cadillac Green, this G6128T-59 is an eye-catching nod to Gretsch's golden era. It features a chambered mahogany body with an arched laminated maple top, offering lightweight comfort and sweet, airy resonance. The TV Jones T-Armond pickups deliver everything from glassy highs to snarling mids and thick, punchy lows—perfect for rock, country, jazz, and anything in between.

The neck is a standard 'U' profile, paired with an rosewood fretboard and 12" radius, giving it a fast, smooth feel that’s both familiar and precise. A Bigsby B3C tailpiece adds expressive shimmer, while the Synchro-Sonic bridge provides excellent tuning stability and intonation.

This example has seen some very light player wear, but it’s incredibly clean overall—clearly well cared for and sparingly used. It plays effortlessly and sounds absolutely phenomenal.

Whether you’re a collector chasing that vintage Gretsch vibe or a player looking for a stage-ready classic, this Duo Jet from Premier Guitars is an outstanding find. It’s a guitar with history, style, and serious sonic muscle.
