Gretsch G6129T-1968 Limited Edition Sparkle Jet, Champagne Sparkle Overview
Gretsch G6129T-1968 Limited Edition Sparkle Jet, Champagne Sparkle Overview.
The early 1960s saw the double-cut Jet get a black back, a zero-fret and gold hardware. As previously, its signature power and punch came from chambered mahogany construction, which magnifies harmonic richness by letting air resonate between the top and body for livelier and more articulate tone. That’s all here on this fiery tone machine, along with TV Jones Super’Tron pickups that retain classic vintage Filter’Tron clarity but with a bold and full broadband punch, due to the steel blades (used in place of individual pole pieces) providing a larger magnetised surface area.
In the late ‘60s, Gretsch were not afraid to try out many wild and eye catching finishes.
On this guitar, we have a very beautiful Champagne Sparkle to treat the visual sense with opulence and grandeur!
