From the depths of the Cavern, the Duo Jet is back!
Brilliant DynaSonic™ single-coil pickups,
"rocking" Bar bridge, Bigsby™ vibrato and aged
biding and inlays make this a hard-rocking retro rocket with
voluminous vintage vibe.
George Harrison says:
"My first good guitar was the Duo Jet Gretsch.
It wasn't easy to get an American guitar in Liverpool back
in 1960 because of shortage of supply, and more important
at the time, a severe shortage of cash. I saved my money
from the gigs I had started playing, and one night in the
Liverpool Echo I saw the advert under "For Sale".
I rushed to the address that was given, with about 75 pounds cash
in my pocket and returned home the very pleased owner of that
Gretsch. I have it 'till this day... after playing it through
the Hamburg days and Cavern years, tours of Europe to America
in '64 and many, many of the Beatle Recordings."
