Description
1958 Gretsch Silver-Jet single-cutaway, original and in fine condition, with included 1959 Gretsch amplifier and more.
With its Gibson Les Paul-inspired mahogany body, the vintage Gretsch SilverJet boasts not just a dazzling sparkle finish. Unlike the Les Paul, the body is multi-chambered, addingresonance plus reducing the guitar’s weight (a real shoulder-saver -- the fine example you see here, from 1958, is just 7 lbs).
In 1955, a creative craftsman at Gretsch had the brilliant idea to combine the sparkle finish of their celebrated drum sets with one of their new solidbody guitars. And the celebrated Model 6129 Silver-Jet was born. With its original twin DeArmond single-coil pickups, Burns tremolo, and low action, this rare 1958 SilverJet both plays and sounds killer. Plus it's original down to its rosewood fingerboard (with "thumbnail" pearl inlay), to its pots, tuners, arrow knobs, chrome "G" tailpiece, and black Gretsch-embossed pickguard. In fact, other than a few minor dings and scratches on its back, it remains in eye-popping beautiful condition.
Making the 1958 SilverJet even more special is the included 1959 Gretsch Model 6156-T amplifier. With 12" speaker (dated October 1957) to transformers, tubes, grille cloth, and still pristine black-ribbed Tolex, plus adjustable on-board tremolo, it is all original (other than updated power cord for safer use).
Also included with the sensational 1958 SilverJet guitar and 6156-T amp are all the tags, cards, original strap, original gray hard-case, and more.
