Gretsch USA Custom Shop G6128 - 1962 Duo Jet Relic - Black Paisley
Built by Gonzalo Madrigal, this Custom Shop 1962-style Duo Jet has plenty of character before you ever plug it in. The Black Paisley finish reveals more detail up close, with a shimmering background framed by dark edges and aged gold hardware. The clear Gretsch pickguard lets the pattern show through, while the relic treatment gives everything a comfortably worn appearance.
The chambered mahogany body and arched maple top bring together warmth, resonance, and a defined attack. A substantial Fat “C” mahogany neck gives your hand plenty to settle into, paired with an ebony fingerboard and medium jumbo frets. Mother-of-pearl thumbnail inlays keep the familiar Gretsch look, with red side dots adding a small custom touch. At 7 lbs 11 oz, it has a reassuring feel without being overly heavy.
Curtis Novak Goldfoil pickups bring sparkle and clarity alongside the body and midrange presence that make a Duo Jet so enjoyable. There’s plenty of room to shape the sound with individual pickup volumes, a master volume, and push/pull coil taps on both pickup volume controls. The mud switch offers a darker tonal option, while the 3-way standby/kill switch lets you cut the signal. An Adjusto-Matic bridge and Bigsby B3G round things out, ready for subtle movement under chords or a little shimmer at the end of a phrase.
