Description
The G6131T-62 Vintage Select ’62 Jet Firebird pulls straight from Gretsch’s golden era, capturing the details that defined the double-cut Jet once it picked up its black back, zero-fret, and gold hardware in the early 1960s. This is a guitar built for players who want authentic heritage tone in a solid body that still breathes.
At its core is chambered mahogany construction paired with an arched laminated maple top, a combination that opens up the sound with extra harmonic complexity and a livelier, more responsive feel than a fully solid slab. Aged white binding traces the body and mahogany neck, while a Standard “U” neck profile and ebony fingerboard with aged pearloid thumbnail inlays keep the vintage aesthetic consistent from headstock to heel.
Loaded with TV Jones Classic pickups in the neck and bridge, this Jet Firebird nails the vintage Filter’Tron character Gretsch is known for, controlled via dual volume knobs, a master volume, and a 3-position toggle with tone switch. The Bigsby vibrato and Space Control bridge add expressive pitch play without sacrificing tuning stability, backed by Grover Sta-Tite tuning machines.
