Gretsch G6128T-GH George Harrison Duo Jet BLK

"My first good guitar" – that's what George Harrison called his 6128T Gretsch Duo Jet, which he had purchased from a sailor in Liverpool in the summer of 1961. With that Duo Jet, Harrison was to shape the sound of the early Beatles in a distinctive way. George loved his Duo Jet so much that he kept it until his all-too-early death. Reason enough for the Gretsch Company to launch a high-quality reissue for Harrison fans as part of the Professional Collection series. And it has it all! The "G6128T-GH George Harrison Duo Jet" was developed with great attention to detail and comes damn close to the original in terms of look, feel and sound! True to the original, a "chambered" mahogany body is used, plus a mahogany neck with a rosewood fretboard and pearloid hump block inlays. The whole guitar is framed with a decorative, three-part binding. Despite all this, the Harrison Duo Jet is an absolute lightweight! The scale shows just 3250 grams! The hardware is also vintage-correct – the Rocking Bar Bridge, the Grover Sta-Tite tuners and the Bigsby B3C vibrato correspond 1:1 to the original. But the best comes last: the sound of the "G6128T-GH George Harrison Duo Jet! The two DynaSonic pickups take you back to the golden years of Rock 'n' Roll! Crystal-clear highs and a solid bass foundation with an exciting vintage character give you goosebumps the first time you play it! The unique Harrison signature on the truss rod cover and a premium deluxe hard shell case complete the whole package.
