Up for sale, a 1995 Gretsch Silver Jet ‘57 vintage reissue model 6129T-57 in perfect working order, upgraded from stock and complete with the original hardshell case. A Silver Sparkle-topped iteration of the Duo Jet model, this Gretsch boasts the traditional tonewood combination of a maple top and chambered mahogany body, outfitted with the original pair of DynaSonic pickups and upgraded with a Synchro-Sonic (Melita-style) bridge, as well as a fully upgraded wiring harness with USA-spec components.
The chambered construction yields plenty of natural bark and breadth, and the DynaSonic single coils have a sparkling percussive cut and midrange authority. Sensitive to a player's picking dynamics, there's a bell-like twang and roundness to single notes played on the bridge pickup, while the neck position single coil has quite a bit of woof and thickness while still retaining great string to string balance and overall clarity. This Silver Jet 6129T-57 weighs 8lbs 10oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
