Gretsch Custom Shop George Harrison Tribute Duo Jet
Item: FE2400415806
Meticulously recreated by Gretsch master builder Stephen Stern and his crew from the original guitar owned by George and played during his early- and post-Beatles career.
The G6128T-GH George Harrison "Tribute" Duo Jet—of which only 60 will be made—mirrors every scratch, ding, worn finish patch and rust spot of Harrison's guitar. It also faithfully replicates the modifications that were made to the original guitar in the late 1950s by its original owner (who had a Bigsby® tremolo unit installed), and those made by Harrison himself. True to form, the tremolo arm of the new replica's Bigsby® B6C tailpiece has a black Phillips head pivot bolt, and the strap button on the lower bout is offset to accommodate the Bigsby®.
Comes with some amazing memorabilia including a personal George guitar pick and personal letter from the Harrison family.
Weight 7lbs. 9oz.
