Gretsch G6131MY-CS Malcolm Young Salute Jet with classic construction
The basis for the Gretsch G6131MY-CS Malcolm Young Salute Jet is unmistakably the 1963 Jet Firebird model. Accordingly, the electric guitar features a mahogany body with generous resonance chambers closed by a laminated maple top. With the " Standard U" profile, the glued mahogany neck also lies comfortably in the hand, so that on the ebony fingerboard the riffs of "Let there be Rock ", "Highway to Hell" or "Back in Black " go out of hand as if by themselves.
Authentic finish
In order to reproduce the finish of the Gretsch G6131MY-CS Custom Shop Malcolm Young Salute Jet as accurately as possible, Custom Shop Master Builder Stephen Stern meticulously investigated this Original . Accordingly, every scratch, every dong and every screw hole that documents the history of the guitar sit in the exact position. The wafer-thin nitro lacquer allows the entire hollow Body construction to vibrate unhindered, so that the sound is characterized by the typical acoustic Timbre .
TV Jones Classic Humbucker
Also corresponding to the original "Beast" is the fitting with only one at Humbucker the TV Jones Classic bridge, whereby the openings for middle and neck pickup remain open. Accordingly, a brilliant sound is available at the amplifier, which develops an enormous assertiveness especially with juicy crunch and thus makes itself heard in the densest mix. To control the pickup, a volume control as well as master volume and master tone controls are available. All unused holes for regulators and switches are also provided with metal caps.
Exactly simulated Hardware
In addition, the Gretsch G6131MY-CS Malcolm Young Salute offers authentic Hardware equipment. A Burns Vibrato without a lever serves as the tailpiece on the body, from which the strings are led over the classic Gretsch Space Control bridge, which is mounted on an ebony base. Behind the bone saddle, Schaller M6 mechanics on the headstock also ensure stable and precise tuning, even with Malcolm Young's preferred .012 strings.
Extensive accessories package
In addition to a Vintage Style Gretsch Hardshell Case and the certificate signed by Stephen Stern, the Gretsch G6131MY-CS Malcolm Young Jet comes with an extensive accessory package.
