Cool player-grade 1958 Duo Jet. Of note:


The pickups are TV Jones TV Classics (this guitar likely shipped with Dearmond pickups originally). The wiring harness is a TV Jones harness, and it's pretty great - the tone knob is actually useful, and the volume roll-off is really pleasing too, with good preservation of high-end. 

Pickup rings look to be newer, as does the pickguard.

The guitar seems to have worn a different Bigsby at some point - note the "snakebite" divots in the top. The current V-cut Gretsch Bigsby looks to be a more recent example.

The back of the neck has recently been stained and refinished, but the person who did the work did a really nice job matching the color and patina. It looks and feels great. I noticed when going over the guitar just now that there's a bit of a gap between the heel cap and the heel; see photo.

The tuners have been swapped once (perhaps for Schallers?), but the current Grovers are period-correct. The Space Control bridge is also a period-correct example.

The frets are in excellent shape, and the action is low from top to bottom. It's a really easy-playing guitar.

Includes a newer Gretsch Duo Jet case.
