This vintage original 1965 Gretsch Duo Jet is nice and clean with original cerrtifcte and paperwork and original hardshell case. A perfect example for the player and collector alike.
Original double cut version with Filtertron pickups and Bigsby Vibrato.
Original Filtertron pickups are remarkably warm, punchy and bright with a classic vintage Gretsch tone a la George Harrison and The Who...plug it into a vintage Magnatone and it sounds like Who's Next!
Neck is straight and plays great all the way up and down without buzz or issue. Neck angle is perfect and there is no sign of the neck ever being reset. This is a particularly great example, very well made. Binding is in excellent condition without any flaking or cracking.
Original jet black finish is stunning and really quite clean. The back has some residue from a scratch prevention pad the previous customer had on there. Is is purely cosmetic and gives the guitar some character. The serial number is etched in the control plate and it matches the certificate of the guitar.
Original pickguard has been cracked and professionally glued back together. We left it in the case.
Currently one of our favorite guitars in the store!
Original Certificate, OK card, and bridge card included with the original vintage hardshell case, also very clean.
