First things first: look at the the spalted maple top on this marvelous Masterbuilt 1959 Duo Jet! It's the kind of top that compels you to stare, and it's easy to get lost before you even strum a solitary chord. But, we mustn't let ourselves get too entranced, because this guitar is much more than just a looker.

It has plenty of woody twang and growl on its attack, deep vintage-style low-end, some vocal resonance in the midrange, and open, sparkling trebles. The neck pickup is clear and warm, and the bridge pickup is snappy and biting with plenty of jangle in the high end.

Anyone looking for a plethora of classic Gretsch sound will love this spalted maple sweetheart!
