Description
Lovies Guitars is excited to offer up this 2018 Gretsch G6228-PE Player’s Edition Duo Jet with a Dark Cherry Metallic Finish! From the Gretsch Professional Collection comes a cutting-edge update of the company’s vintage classic electric guitar to fuel a new generation of guitarists looking to take their music into the future. The Gretsch G6228 Player’s Edition Duo Jet combines the harmonic resonance of a chambered mahogany body and maple top with the sonic potency of Gretsch’s full-spectrum Broad’Tron BT65 humbuckers and the stability of their V stoptail to deliver a staggering range of tone. From shimmery cleans to beastly overdrive, your wish is this Duo Jet’s command.
For the G6228 Player’s Edition Duo Jet, Gretsch starts with a select 1.85″-thick mahogany body and maple top combo that delivers strong, balanced midrange. Strategic body chambering provides smooth attack and extended, harmonically lush bandwidth while reducing weight — which you’ll definitely appreciate during marathon gigs! This chambered tonewood recipe, key to the classic Duo Jet sound, serves as the tonal foundation to which Gretsch adds a pair of remarkable humbucking pickups.
The G6228 Player’s Edition Duo Jet is powered by Gretsch’s outstanding Broad’Tron BT65 pickups. Designed by renowned pickup guru Tim Shaw, the BT65 harnesses this guitar’s broad sonic range and flawlessly delivers its extended lows, powerful mids, and smooth, clear high end in a masterful display of full-spectrum fidelity and wall-shaking power. You’ll find the Player’s Edition Duo Jet has you covered for any genre-hopping live gig or recording session. From sparkling cleans to brutal overdrive — and all tonal colors in between — everything’s on the menu.
If you’re a hardtail player, Duo Jets have likely been off your radar due to their ubiquitous vibrato tailpieces. The Gretsch G6228 Player’s Edition Duo Jet changes all that with an axe that gives you all the tuning stability and tonal solidity of Gretsch’s anchored Adjusto-matic bridge and V stoptail — a design that pays visual as well as sonic dividends. With its excellent pickups, chambered body, and V stoptail, the Player’s Edition Duo Jet serves up an incredibly broad tonal palette as suitable for progressive metal and jazz fusion as it is for country and rock. This guitar is in minty shape with light hardware tarnish and some micro marks on the headstock, rated at 9.9/10. All original and free of any breaks, cracks or repairs. Included with this guitar is an original hard-shell case and a complimentary sample of Fret-Not, our preferred fretboard cleaner, check it out at fretnot.net! Thank you for considering this exceptional instrument from Lovies Guitars.
