Gretsch Duo Jet
Gretsch's first solid-body electric guitar the Duo Jet debuted in 1954 with the Silver Jet and Roundup now a highly priced collectable guitar this reissue duplicates the looks, playability and sound of these classic 50's guitars. This reissue of the 1957 Duo Jet captures the style and features of the first generation of Gretsch semi-solid body electric guitars first introduced in 1954.
The most noticeable differences are the headstock and pickups. Thinner than later versions of the Duo Jet, this headstock accented the overall slim flavor of the guitar's design. Dynasonic pickups were used during this pre-FilterTron era. These single coil adjustable pickups (also known as "Dynasonic") give the guitar it distinctive tone reminiscent of the era. The Silver Jet is also available in a 1957 reissue, with or without the tailpiece.
