Made in Japan at the renowned Terada factory in July 2003, this Gretsch G6128T Duo Jet is everything you'd expect from a Japanese Professional Collection Gretsch—beautifully built, lightweight, incredibly resonant and full of classic Filter'Tron chime.
 
Finished in gloss black with white binding, this Duo Jet features a chambered mahogany body, ebony fingerboard, Bigsby vibrato and the unmistakable Gretsch control layout, including individual pickup volumes, master volume, three-way pickup selector and Gretsch's traditional tone switch. At just 8lb 11.5oz, it balances superbly and feels noticeably lighter than many comparable single-cut guitars thanks to its chambered construction. The Duo Jet has been a staple of players from George Harrison to Malcolm Young, offering everything from sparkling cleans and rockabilly twang to rich classic rock tones.
 
This example also benefits from a Vibramate String Spoiler, making Bigsby string changes far quicker and easier without permanently modifying the guitar.
 
Condition is very good overall. The front presents exceptionally well with a lovely deep gloss finish, while the neck and frets are in excellent condition with plenty of life remaining. The rear of the body shows a handful of light surface marks and scratches from normal use, but nothing that detracts from what is a very well-presented Japanese Gretsch.
 
Professionally checked over and fully set up in-house by our workshop and supplied with its original Gretsch hard case.
