Gretsch G6128T-GH George Harrison Duo Jet Electric Guitar - Black Reviews
The Gretsch G6128T-GH George Harrison Signature Duo Jet guitar replicates George’s “first real decent” guitar, acquired in the early ’60s from a sailor and subsequently used on many of the band’s earlier classics. From the rocking bar bridge to the chambered mahogany body to the Gretsch-emblazoned Bigsby vibrato, this guitar perfectly captures the classic vibe of a late ‘50s Gretsch Duo Jet, with one exception — the elegant black-on-black finish, supposedly customized by Harrison to give his guitar a moodier look! Apart from its old-school style, this Gretsch’s dual Dynasonic pickups produce everything from classic early-era Beatles jangle and chime to the firm low-end thump of George’s country-inspired lead playing. It’s all finished off with a 1-piece mahogany neck, sleek rosewood fingerboard, and a “U”-shaped profile for a decidedly vintage feel in your hands. Whether you’re looking to pay tribute to the quiet Beatle or you’re simply looking for a helping of twangy Gretsch single-coil sound, the G6128T-GH is a stunning recreation of one of rock’s most iconic instruments.

WHAT A GUITAR!
After desiring the George Harrison Gretsch Jet for a long time, I've now had mine for several weeks. IT's gorgeous, It feels and plays like a magnificent instrument. But, the trick is the sound --- which is lush and beautiful. But also biting and rocking. The range of great sounds is as wide as the Mississipi. The most versatile guitar I have yet played. It's perfect. And I really mean that. I can't think a way to make it better. I've been playing a lot of Beatles stuff and other early rock, because it sounds so good for that. It does. But mostly I have been using it for blues and hard rock. Just as a general comment, Gretsch makes fantastic guitars. They're in no way just twangy and country.
I has it Plek'd by Sweetwater, which I think was a good idea. (In for a penny; in for a pound.). And I had a set-up along with their great inspection. After some experience with Sweetwater, I would never order a guitar from any other company. The way your guitar arrives from them is heads + tails better than anyone else.
Cellar full of noise
Simply just the best Gretsch I"ve ever played! The fit and finish is second to none, quality this caliber from Japan puts some new light on imported instruments! A weight you can play on stage all night, and those DynaSonics thru a good tube amp, is the epitome of clean Guitar tone.You won"t go wrong with this one,
worth the expensive price tag! Welcome to the Cavern Club...
I love it.
I love y new guitar! At first I was reluctant to spend the amount of $$ on a guitar, but it's so beautiful, and it's a Gretsch, so I couldn't resist. I was mamboed at how well it was packed by the team at Sweetwater. When I opened the box, it was all I was hoping for. It's like buying your first Lamborghini. Such a beautiful guitar, the plays well. It feels and sounds great.
Thank you Sweetwater for sending me the perfect Christmas present for myself!
Beautiful guitar; great opportunity to own a Beatles' tribute guitar
I've always been a Beatles' fan and being able to own this George Harrison model is awesome. I really didn't know much about Gretsch but I've been impressed in the few days I've owned this guitar. It reminds me a lot of my Les Paul Standard in both looks and performance but with subtle differences that makes it unique to my guitar collection.
Great service from Sweetwater and my engineer, Chris McCown, who has always been great at offering advice on any of the guitars I've bought from Sweetwater.
Buy it now!
WOW is the word! What a perfect Gretsch for me. My wife got this for my birthday and I really can't believe how great the one is. The case is a big surprise as well. very cool!
