- Description: Here for sale is the classic Gretsch G6129T Silver Sparkle Jet w/ Bigsby Tailpiece. This is a Jet constructed in classic 1960's styling complete with humbucking FilterTron pickups and Space-Control bridge. The Jet models from the Gretsch's Professional Collection are top quality guitars that have a look, feel and sound all their own since their introduction in 1953. The Jet can be considered a solid body guitar because its constructed of a solid mahogany back, but due to a heavily chambered body and a 3 ply maple top the guitar retains some of the hollow body tone Gretsch guitars are famous for. Additionally the heavily chambered design makes the guitar very lightweight and well balanced. The duo jet's play extremely well with perfect action and neck angle combined with an adjustable bridge. This particular Jet has the classic sound of Gretsch FilterTron pickups and a USA made Bigsby tremolo done with a silver sparkle "Drum wrap" style top ply. The FilterTrons are bright and snappy with plenty of punch and sound great when played clean or with as much gain as you can thow at them. We are a long standing fully authorized independent Gretsch guitar dealer. This is a brand new factory first guitar and comes with the deluxe Gretsch hard case, all documentation and the Gretsch Limited lifetime warranty. If you have any questions at all please feel free to give us a call!
