Electric guitar with DynaSonic pickups and Bigsby vibrato, including case and certificate
The Gretsch G6128T Players Edition Jet DS Bigsby Black combines the classic Gretsch singlecut design with traditional DynaSonic pickups and modern hardware appointments to the ideal electric guitar for Blues and rock. In terms of construction, Gretsch uses a mahogany body with resonance chambers and laminated maple top, as well as a glued mahogany neck in the comfortable "Standard U" profile. In addition, the electric guitar features a modern Bigsby string-thru vibrato, an Adjusto-Matic bridge and Gotoh locking tuners.
Classic style and modern appointments: The Gretsch G6128T Players Edition Jet DS Bigsby Black comes with DynaSonic single-coils and string-thru Bigsby.
A mahogany body with resonance chambers and a glued "Standard U" mahogany neck form the tonal basis of the Gretsch Jet DS.
Traditional design and high playing comfort
Kept in the classic Gretsch singlecut design, the G6128T Players Edition Jet DS combines resonant sound characteristics with a high level of playing comfort. Accordingly, the 1.85" thick mahogany body (47 mm) sits comfortably against the body, while the resonant chambers, sealed with a laminated maple top, promise a woody timbre to the sound. The glued mahogany neck in "Standard U" profile is furthermore comfortable in the hand, so that on the 22-fret rosewood fingerboard every riff and lick can be realized with ease.
DynaSonic single-coils and a versatile circuit with no-load tone control and squeezebox oil-paper capacitor promise versatile guitar sounds.
DynaSonic Pickups with Flexible Circuitry
As pickups for the Gretsch G6128T Players Edition Jet DS Bigsby Black Gretsch chooses two DynaSonic single-coils, which are recreations of one of the original guitar pickups naturally equipped with the characteristic height-adjustable pole-pieces. With a sparkling treble spectrum and tight bass foundation, the pickups deliver a powerful yet defined sound best suited for the Clean and overdrive sounds of Blues and rock. In addition to dedicated volume controls for each pickup and the typical master volume, the Gretsch Jet DS also features a no-load tone control with squeezebox oil-paper capacitor, which not only promises particularly harmonious treble roll-offs, but is removed from the signal path when fully turned up, promising a direct sound.
On the headstock of the Gretsch G6128T Players Edition Jet DS Bigsby Black, Gotoh clamp machine heads guarantee stable tuning.
Reliable hardware equipment
Last but not least, the Gretsch G6128T Players Edition Jet DS Bigsby Black is completed by a reliable hardware set-up that is optimally adapted to the needs of touring guitarists. A modern Bigsby string-thru vibrato serves as the tailpiece here. While the classic mode of operation promises dazzling melody and chord embellishments with the vibrato lever, the strings passing through the vibrato axis make string changes easier. A Gretsch Adjusto-Matic bridge also promises optimal adjustment of intonation and string action, while at the headstock Gotoh locking tuners guarantee accurate and stable tunings even with frequent reaches to the vibrato lever.
