Gretsch, punch and rock 'n' roll. The Gretsch G6128T Players Edition Jet DS mixes the Gretsch signature with playability. It has been adapted to supremacy. A new full-access rolled cutaway and tapered heel allows free access to the upper frets. Extra luxury has been added with a lowered neck for improved fret-hand mobility and a closer approach. So, say goodbye to uncomfortable wrist pivoting and palm obstruction.
Attack with clarity. The Players Edition Jet has a select mahogany body with maple top and is crafted with modern chambering that helps deliver a controlled attack. This variation on a true premium classic is fitted with superior pickups. Bright, shimmering DynaSonic pickups have quickly become hailed by musicians wanting that classic rock genre but with a crisper sound. They work seamlessly with the chambered body to help you cut through and lay a strong foundation or produce a beautifully transparent tone. Unparalleled playability, legendary tone - it can only be Gretsch.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionThe secret of modern rock ‘n’ roll
Jet your way to iconic sound. Like its forebears, the G6128T Players Edition Jet has the famous duo of a mahogany body and maple top. The result is that recognisable strong, punchy response with a warm, earthy tone that thrusts rock ‘n’ roll into the modern-day. It’s also matched with modern playability. This mahogany body has a 1.85" depth with contemporary chambering giving you control over your tone's attack while also making sure every single note you play rings out with clarity and sustain. Ensuring you have the rock ‘n’ roll playing style, as well as sound, is what Gretsch are great at.
Daring. Dynamic. Supreme.
Cut through the mix with elite clarity. The DynaSonic single-coil pickups have been a Gretsch standard since the late '40s and were one of the first pickups to offer individually adjustable pole-pieces. These powerful pickups deliver shimmering highs and a rich, full bass response, adding plenty of impact to any performance. Achieving the perfect sound is easy with the three-way toggle switch, along with independent volume controls, master volume and master tone control.
Pivotal comfort and performance
Play at your best. Gretsch have made sure the Jet has everything you need for a comfortable performance. A lowered neck set makes chord transitions effortless, keeping your wrist feeling natural and letting you play around with that riff you couldn’t quite master before. You’ll see a difference in your accuracy and stamina. The full-access rolled cutaway and tapered heel also makes rocking out those licks easy thanks to upper fret access. So no more awkward pivoting or palm obstruction. But don’t worry, despite these modern features, it still has that vintage style. It’s what every Gretsch player wants.
The revered Bigsby
It's essential for any serious guitarist. How else could you incorporate your own personality into your playing? Thankfully, the Jet comes with the Bigsby vibrato you need for your exhilarating performances. The freedom of creativity is right at your fingertips. Perform the most audacious of vibrato effects, whether it's a shimmer to your notes in a solo or a splash of style to a chord. Push your music to its limits.
