Some extra details about George's original guitar (as a Beatles gear nerd): - The offset strap button wasn't done at the factory. The guitar originally did not have a vibrato, and whoever installed the Bigsby didn't drill it out properly for the button. - Duo Jets normally have a natural mahogany back, George spray painted his guitar black at the same time John Lennon spray painted his 1958 Rickenbacker 325 black. - This was George's primary guitar, alongside his Gibson J-160E, that was used on the band's first album, Please Please Me. The album was recorded in one day on February 11, 1963.

@@tgarder Most of the album at least. The band had released two double-sided singles by that point, so those four tracks were re-used for the album's track list. Ten new songs needed to be recorded though, so the band came into the studio and recorded their current live set list. John Lennon had a nasty cold that day as well, you can hear him really straining his voice on the tracks where he's singing lead vocals.

From what I remember, these non-Custom Shop ones have always been in the "affordable" range, though $3,700 is still a large sum.

The staple pickup was gibson’s attempt at a dynasonic type pickup. Les fitted a dynasonic in the neck position of one of his early goldtops. In true Les fashion, it was hidden under a diy hacked up p90 style cream cover. The story goes that Les preferred the dynasonic over a p90 in the neck position. Gibson saw this and ordered Seth lover to come up with their own version, as they couldn’t have their biggest artist playing a rival’s pickups. Therefore, the staple pickup was born. But it was so expensive to produce, it was reserved for the most expensive guitars before ultimately being replaced by the paf pickups.

It’s now very expensive condos. 😭

In the 1970's you could hardly give that guitar away. From 1976-1979 I was assistant mgr. at Hilton Music in Utica N.Y. We had that exact guitar, used of course but in very good condition, and it took over a year to sell it, with Hard Shell case for $75.00. Of course that was before there was such a thing as a Vintage Guitar Market. If I only knew then what I know now........

Congrats David, what a beautiful Gretsch, George Harrison's music is amazing. Those Dynasonic Pickups were favored by Les Paul the man, and he actually installed a set in the early '54 Les Pauls he played. Gibson used the Dynasonic design to design/create the AlNiCo V Staple pickups. The Dynasonic and Staple pickups have an expanded range of tonal profiles. You can adjust the pickup close to the strings with the pole magnets adjusted flush for a thick full tone, or, you can lower the pickup body away from the strings and raise the individual pole magnets closer to the strings for a more single coil/acoustic tone. These pickups (Dynasonic and AlNiCo V Staple) are among my favorite types of pickups.

also that's not a master tone on the DuoJet - it's a master volume. You set the volume of the individual pickups with their separate controls, set the pickup selector to both, and then you can raise and lower the combined volume of the two pickups with the master volume. I like to dial back the neck a little so i still get some of that bite from the bridge.

It's so nice that (Fender?) restored the Gretsch brand name years ago. I remember in the early-to-mid 1980s, the "Gretsch" name was put on these budget guitars sold at glorified toy stores. They were pretty much "wood slab" bodies. No color finish - no reverence to the history of the brand name - nothing. I can only imagine they sounded cruddy. This one sounds like a dream.

The Duo Jet is a prime example of an interesting Paradox from the first two years that the Beatles were performing under the name. Until at least 1962, none of the thinline, hollowbody or semihollow electric guitars and basses they played had any openings in the top. That went for George's Duo Jet model, Paul's violin bass from Hofner and John's Rickenbacker 325. It wasn't until George bought his second Gretch model, a country gentlemen, that any of their electric guitars had such an opening in the top as an f-hole.

I own a Gretsch 6128 Duo Jet and a Gibson LP Standard '50s Gold Top, both of which I find to be exceptional instruments. The Gretsch, in particular, stands out for its remarkably comfortable weight, providing a more effortless playing experience. In contrast, the Gibson feels noticeably heavier and bulkier in comparison to the Gretsch. Despite the weight difference, I appreciate the unique qualities each guitar brings to my collection.

Not sure if someone already mentioned it, but the strap button was offset on the back because it was stripped out and, because they weren't terribly concerned about there gear back in the day, George just drilled it into the spot above. Also, it was originally a rosewood body on the back and neck, and not black, but it was more "rock & roll" to have it a uniform all black. John followed suit later with his 325 maple later on.

So cool to see a Gretsch Duo Jet deep dive on the channel. I bought a new G6129T89 VS Silver Jet last year and, although it's a lot of money for an "import", these Japanese guitars really are beautifully made. I got mine on a whim but, considering it's a kind of Chris Cornell/Soundgarden model, I had to check it out. Those DynaSonic pickups on that Harrison model seem to take gain well - perhaps even better that the FilterTrons in mine! The middle to neck positions don't vary as much as, say, on a Gibson and it's interesting point made about the tone controls on the Harrison one. And finish-wise, I'm assuming the black is a plastic wrap like I have on the sparkle top, which comes from the Gretsch drum wrapping? Anyway, here's to more Gretsch videos on Trogly's!

Gotta remember that bridge floats, so some modest intonation adjustment is possible even with the Bigsby. In my experience with Pro-Series Gretsch models (MIJ & CS), most of which have Bigsby trems and rocking or TOM bridges, the intonation is usually dead on or can be dialed in with TOM-style bridges.

I have one. It’s a Great guitar. Something different from my usual Gibson/Epi and my acoustics. He neck seem narrow for my liking, but that only takes a moment. My s/n# is only 8 numbers different from yours. Someday I wish you would document the Gibson Howard Roberts Fusion. I have one as well as a ‘66 Howard Roberts oval hole jazz guitar.

In abourt 1967 I bought a Duo Jet on 48th St...mostly because it looked like a LP and cuz my 67 Strat was stolen. It had neo classic markers, Open tuners, "space"roller bridge,paf filtertrons two toggles and 2 plus 1 volumes. Never bonded with it and found it somewhat entry level (my opinion) and 'jangly". mine wasn't chambered but to me seemed hollow built kinda a silvertone. Anyway, I never liked it and it hung around till maybe the ninties then I sold it.... and never missed it.

In the past few years have really come to love an appreciate GRETSCH. They are unique, and offer a Great playing experience and different tones than my go to GIBSON’S (my true number one’s). Nice review AUSTIN! Dig that you channeled a little of your Motor city madman and got into some; “Stranglehold”👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Is that a .047 tone cap? It does get quite dark in the low register.

Maybe change the tone caps to render the tone pot more functional at least varied.

Isn’t the GH model 2” deep rather than 1.75” deep like the standard Duojets?

That Paisley Penguin photo looked like my LTD from Terada, but yeah the Gretsch custom shop has been doing paisleys. I'd guess the CS ones inspired the LTD production run. My Penguin is beautiful BTW.

But, but, but . . . George's one didn't have multi-coloured string endings peeping out from under the tail-piece - oh nooooooo 🤣Despite that utter failure in authenticity I would love to have one of these, I have a terrific Japanese made Gretsch solid-body and it's quite similar in terms of 'the jangle' thru a Vox. And, of course, the Fender Rosewood Tele . . . I'm more of a Les Paul player (1968 Custom, Epi Cantrell Wino, Epi '59 Gibson Hybrid) but I'd settle with the 'Get Back' one as a my first Tele anyday! 👍😅Thanks for the great overview of this one!
