Purple Reign

Wildwoodians, we're proud to present this limited edition piece from a run of regal purple sparkle '53 Duo Jets. Reissues like this always get us excited because they're like a fun historical game of "What if?" What if the folks at Gretsch had some extra purple drum wrap lying around when they built the first Duo Jets and decided to use it up on the finish? Or, what if a mod in a rocking '70s band bought an old guitar at a pawn shop and gave it a groovy new pa... Read More...

Purple Reign

Wildwoodians, we're proud to present this limited edition piece from a run of regal purple sparkle '53 Duo Jets. Reissues like this always get us excited because they're like a fun historical game of "What if?" What if the folks at Gretsch had some extra purple drum wrap lying around when they built the first Duo Jets and decided to use it up on the finish? Or, what if a mod in a rocking '70s band bought an old guitar at a pawn shop and gave it a groovy new paint job? Heck, what if Prince had been a Gretsch signature artist in an alternate timeline? Look at that! This guitar is so cool it already has us contemplating multiversal musical madness--a sure sign that the vibes are immaculate. Make no mistake, though--this thing is a purple people eater when it comes to tone! The Duo Jet's classic construction (a chambered African mahogany body with an arched 3-ply laminated maple top) gives it outstanding resonance, superb dynamic response, and a delightful liveliness that makes for a wonderfully expressive playing experience. To amplify that beautiful natural tone, we have two T-Armond pickups from TV jones, and they absolutely rip. They tame some of the high-end from old Dearmond pickups, but keep the edge and aggressiveness of the originals. They have fantastic clarity, beautiful chiming overtones, and superb warmth when played clean, and they're meaner than a junkyard dawg eyeing a 44 oz. tomahawk steak when you ladle on the gain. Add in a few luxurious cosmetic touches like gold hardware, gold sparkle body binding with black and white purfling, and block inlays, and its clear that this guitar's purple reign over Valhalla will last for millennia! We're proud to present the Limited FSR G6129T-53VS Vintage Select 1953 Duo Jet, and we have no doubt it will inspire you to no end.
