Used Gretsch DUO JET LP Type Electric Guitar Red 6-String
$1,999.99
Shipping: $90
Description
This Gretsch Duo Jet is a landmark "solid body" electric guitar introduced in 1953 as a response to the Gibson Les Paul. While it shares a similar single-cutaway silhouette with the Les Paul, it is technically a chambered guitar, featuring routed internal pockets that provide distinct resonance and a lighter weight.
Core Specifications & Design
- Chambered Construction: The body is typically made of chambered mahogany with a maple top. This design offers a unique blend of solid-body punch and archtop-like harmonic richness.
- Scale Length: It features a slightly shorter 24.6-inch scale length, contributing to softer string tension and easier playability compared to the industry-standard 24.75-inch or 25.5-inch scales.
- Neck Profile: Most modern and vintage-reissue models use a comfortable "U"-shaped mahogany neck with a 12-inch radius fingerboard.
- Electronics:
- Pickups: BT65A
- Controls: A signature Gretsch layout includes individual pickup volume knobs, a master volume on the cutaway, and a three-way selector switch.
Tonal Profile
The Duo Jet is celebrated for its clarity and versatility, often described as sounding "bitey" like a Telecaster but with a "fatter" response.
