Gretsch celebrates the legacy of George Harrison with the G6128T-GH George Harrison SIGNATURE Duo Jet guitar, modeled on the instrument that the legendary guitarist often referred to as his "first real decent guitar."

These include a lightweight mid-'50s-style chambered body, all-BLACK color scheme (arched maple top, mahogany back and sides, and back of the one-piece mahogany neck), Bigsby(R) B3C tailpiece with a black Phillips head tremolo arm pivot bolt, and an offset strap button on lower bout. Other features include three-ply body binding (white-black-white), single-ply white neck and headstock binding, 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with 12" radius and hump-block pearloid inlays, two single-coil DynaSonic(TM) pickups, vintage-style "rocking bar" bridge with rosewood base, silver plexi pickguard, chrome-plated Grover(R) V98CM Sta-Tite(TM) tuners, Gretsch "G" arrow control knobs, chrome-plated hardware, Harrison's signature on the truss rod cover and a premium tweed case.

Sound
The sound one this guitar is out of this world. It takes me back to the nostalgic days. I would say the tone is just the best I have ever heard. I completely would buy this again.

The most useful feature of this particular guitar is the master volume, there's nothing like keeping all the tone's settings and just controlling the volume. It's like having a master volume.

So easy to use, just plug in and listen to that tone.
