A guitar that’s ostensibly lived its entire life in the Seattle area, this unique Silver Jet has had the same owner for the past 50 years and was purchased in its current state, 100% original save for a pair of circa 1966 Gibson T Top humbuckers and a bone nut.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis stunning iteration of the Duo Jet (known colloquially as the Sparkle Jet) is capped with a silver sparkle material which Gretsch sourced from its popular line of drums, topping the chambered mahogany body and incredibly well-preserved.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nGretsch's Silver Jet delivers a natural upper midrange honk and bark, thanks to the chambered body, augmented by the glassy, snappy attack of the maple top and ebony fingerboard. Only routed minimally to accept the Gibson T Tops (originally this Jet would have been outfitted with early FilterTrons), these humbuckers offer a true Gretsch + Gibson tonal profile. The bridge pickup has a real spank and thwack in the top end, with a smooth, spongy growl on the wound strings, while the neck pickup is burly yet clear, offering plenty of oomph. Each pickup position is distinct, and the pickups were wired straight to the switch, preserving the original wiring harness. Weighing 7lbs 13oz, this Silver Jet benefits from a professional setup here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike's Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action and accurate intonation.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nNeck Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n-Wood: Mahogany (two-piece)\u003cbr\u003e\n-Shape: Medium D, measuring .835” 1st fret, .985” 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e\n-Fretboard: Ebony, 12” radius, thumbnail inlay\u003cbr\u003e\n-Frets: Slender, light wear on frets 1-6\u003cbr\u003e\n-Scale Length: 24.6”\u003cbr\u003e\n-Nut: 1 11\/16”, bone (replacement)\u003cbr\u003e\n-Tuners: Waverly open-gear\u003cbr\u003e\n-Serial: Stamped on top headstock edge\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBody Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n-Wood: Maple, mahogany\u003cbr\u003e\n-Pickups: Circa 1966 Gibson T Top humbucker x2\u003cbr\u003e\n-Harness: CentraLab pots date to the 41st week of 1956\u003cbr\u003e\n-Controls: Master Volume, Volume x2, Tone, three-way pickup selector\u003cbr\u003e\n-Hardware: Bigsby B3 vibrato, Space Control bridge, “G” pointer knobs\u003cbr\u003e\n-Plastics: Plexi pickguard, M69 Gibson pickup rings\u003cbr\u003e\n-Label: Serialized (control cavity)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe finish is 100% original with no touch-up or overspray, and the silver sparkle top is framed by perfect multi-ply binding.
