Serial Number: JT23062270 Weight: 8 lbs 14 oz
The Sound of a Movement Re-created
It was impossible to escape the grunge movement in the early 1990s, with raucous songs by game-changing artists popping up on radio stations across the globe. For many of these musicians, the Gretsch Duo Jet was a centerpiece of their sound, and many vintage collectors have tried painstakingly to get their hands on this piece of music history. Three decades later, the Gretsch G6129T-89VS Vintage Select '89 Duo Jet Electric Guitar captures the sound of this pivotal movement with fantastic results thanks to period-accurate construction and electronics. A chambered mahogany body with an arched laminated maple top produces incredible richness, and the maple neck and rosewood fingerboard make playing easy and comfortable. TV Jones pickups imbue the G6129T-89VS with unmistakable vintage tone, while Gretsch’s classic high-quality controls provide endless tone shaping options.
Period-accurate construction and unmistakable tone
Evident in every Vintage Select series guitar, Gretsch cuts no corners when reproducing iconic rock sounds. The G6129T-89VS is no exception, impressively capturing the primordial days of the Pacific Northwest grunge movement in this period-accurate 6-string solidbody powerhouse. A chambered mahogany body and maple top reside at its core, producing incredible harmonic richness and a livelier, more articulate tone. TV Jones humbuckers in the bridge and neck replicate the beloved punch and growl of vintage Filter’Tron pickups, controlled with a master volume with treble bleed circuit and master tone. The tone chaser in you will love the G6129T-89VS's independent volume controls for each pickup, adding even greater versatility to this workhorse.
Effortlessly playable neck
Pick up the G6129T-89VS, and you’ll immediately notice the smoothness and comfort of its bright and snappy set maple neck. Top it off with a silky rosewood fingerboard, and you get a showstopping period piece ready for some serious sonic mayhem for hours on end.
