Description

This exceptional 1956 Gretsch Duo Jet showcases early-spec block inlays on a stunning Brazilian rosewood fretboard. Its DynaSonic single-coil pickups deliver the classic Gretsch tones heard on legendary recordings. Aside from a refret, neck reset, and minor finish touch-up, the guitar remains all original. It’s expertly set up for excellent playability, offering a bright yet full-bodied tone with impressive clarity and punch. Includes a modern Gretsch hardshell case.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
