What a treat to get this guitar in! Unbelievably clean, this '55 Duo Jet is like a time machine, with all the parts and electronics in working order. It's easy to see why a player like Julian Lage took so many design elements from this model for his signature guitar. These early example Duo Jet's feature the more nuanced DeArmond Dynasonic pickups, which arguably have more wide-range use and less boxed in to the rockabilly twang that can be gotten from the later Filter 'Tron humbuckers of later years.

This example is in all original condition, with a C neck profile that measures .926"/1st and 1.036/12th. Serial #13003, comes with the original case. Please refer to the provided photos for more detail on the condition. As with all of our vintage listings, included is a vintage spec sheet which details and repairs & changes of note.
