* Notes:

Feel the sonic thrust of this Gretsch G6128-TVP Power Jet!  This is a uniquely upgraded one and I absolutely love what it has going on – which is a lot.

Jet’s are Gretsch’s solidbody line that features a compact single-cut contoured body that is primed for clean and gain tones alike. The body is a mahogany body with a crisp maple top, an excellent wood combination that gives you great tone and sustain and this one is finished with a black top. 

Normally Power Jet’s have a set of Powertrons pickups but this one has been upgraded with TVJ Classic and TV Classic + pickups. These pickups are punchy and thick humbuckers with a vintage lean for warmer tones. There is an added tonal control of a TV Jones bleed circuit installed on the Master Volume control. The tuners have also been upgraded with Schallers for increased tuning stability. The Gretsch G-cutout tailpiece has also been replaced with a USA Gretsch label Bigsby (B3C) including a Callahan upgrade to the string mounting, for increased sustain and tuning stability. 

Originally built in 2009, this Gretsch crafted in Japan is one fine instrument.  This is a powerful guitar not to be missed. It is in great condition and comes with its original hardshell case.
