This model features DynaSonic pickups, a unique pickup designed in the late 1940's by Harry DeArmond, a Bigsby B3C tailpiece and rocking bar bridge. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAppearing in 1953 and designed to compete with the new Gibson Les Paul and Fender Telecaster, the Duo Jet is described as a solidbody but really uses a chambered Mahogany body with Maple laminate top. The result is a lightweight, compact and feedback-resistant guitar with a mix of solidbody and archtop tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Gretsch G6128T-GH George Harrison Signature Duo Jet dates to March of 2012 and is in excellent condition with essentially no wear.  It's available only in black to match Harrison's, though Jets have had the benefit of Gretsch's familiarity with sparkling drum coverings. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original hard shell case with tweed covering and pink lining is included and contains the standard Gretsch documentation envelope, truss rod wrench and case key. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGretsch G6128T-GH Materials and Construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClearly taking some cues from the single cutaway Les Paul design, the Duo Jet adapted Gretsch's long drum-making expertise.  The body starts with a block of mahogany, with resonance chambers and supports routed out and capped with an arched laminate maple top. The neck is Mahogany and has a bound Indian Rosewood fingerboard with hump-block inlays, joining the body with a mortise and tenon joint. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor hardware, this model uses Grover Sta-Tite open gear tuners, a bone nut, rocking bar bridge on an ebony base and a Bigsby B3C vibrato tailpiece.  The rocking bar bridge is designed to work with the Bigsby, rocking slightly as the Bigsby arm moves.  Intonation is similar to most steel-string acoustic guitars.   The strap pins are Gretsch's characteristic 'Knurled Strap Retainer Knobs' and the lower pin is offset from the Bigsby hinge plate. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElectronics start with two Gretsch DynaSonic pickups, followed by individual volumes controls and a pickup selector, then a master volume control on the cutaway a master tone control. The controls carry chrome G-arrow knobs. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe head carries the George Harrison signature truss rod cover and the pickguard is a silver-painted plexiglas with the Gretsch logo. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese guitars have a unique sound, partly from the chambered body and largely from the DynaSonic pickups.  Harry DeArmond' s design has a flat coil with six magnets mounted on spring-loaded, screw-adjusted elevators allowing precise height positioning for exact string balance.  This relatively complex assembly makes these pickups harder and more expensive to build, and this is a reason that other single-coil pickups were more popular.  Once hum-cancelling pickups started appearing in 1957, particularly the Gretsch Filter 'Tron, the Gibson humbucker, and the Fender Precision Bass pickup, the DynaSonic fell out of favour. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall this is a very good instrument, with a classy and refined appearance, great action and sound.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%;
