Inspired by the pivotal and prolific years of Gretsch's 1950s and early '60s golden age, Vintage Select Edition guitars are designed for players who appreciate the finest in musical instrument heritage.
The Limited Edition G6129T-59VS Red Sparkle Jet™ pays sparkling homage to that great legacy.
The Sparkle Jet is a glitzed-up and time-honored version of the Gretsch Duo Jet model, with signature power and punch coming from its chambered mahogany construction, which magnifies harmonic richness by letting air resonate between the top and body for livelier and more articulate tone. Filter'Tron™ pickups first appeared on the Jet in 1959, and the dual TV Jones® Ray Butts Ful-Fidelity pickups on this glittering Limited Edition beauty reproduce that vintage Filter'Tron sound with unprecedented accuracy.
