The Gretsch Duo Jet just oozes vintage class, with style and tone that hearkens back to the birth of rock n roll in the mid-fifties. It's chambered mahogany body and arched laminated maple top lend to it's light, resonant feel and warm tone. The one-piece set mahogany neck, 24.6" scale, and 12" radius ebony fingerboard all come together for an agile playability that makes quick chord changes and fast solos fall easily beneath your fingers. Of course the Bigsby vibrato is essential to the classic Gretsch Duo Jet "Je ne sais quoi", and this Bigsby is matched with an Ebony Base, Space Control Roller Bridge for excellent intonation and resonance. A pair of Filtertron humbucking pickups are responsible for the Gretsch Duo Jet 's fat, yet biting tone that you've heard on so many early rock n roll, country, and rockabilly records, enhanced by inidividual and master volume controls, 3-position pickup switch, and a 3-position master tone switch.

  • Hey PGS - love this! One question: that particular guitar, was it TV Jones Filtertron or Gretsch HS Filtertrons? If TV Jones, which models for bridge and neck? Please advise! Cheers - Jonas, Sweden

  • @JonasSweden1 - These were Gretsch HS Filter'trons. Thanks!
