2022 Gretsch Custom Shop Duo Jet, G-6128-CS - Stephen Stern

An absolutely stunning 2022 Gretsch Custom Shop Duo Jet (G6128-CS), masterbuilt by the legendary Stephen Stern — one of the finest luthiers ever to work under the Gretsch banner. This is a truly world-class example of Stern’s artistry, combining impeccable craftsmanship with vintage-correct style and that unmistakable Gretsch tone.
Built in the Gretsch Custom Shop in Corona, California, this Duo Jet features a chambered mahogany body with an arched maple top, delivering the perfect balance of warmth, resonance, and bite. Finished in classic oxblood type nitrocellulose lacquer with aged binding and hardware, it has all the cool, understated elegance of a vintage Jet from the ’50s.
The mahogany neck sports a comfortable ’50s-style “C” profile and an ebony fingerboard with vintage thumbnail inlays. Loaded with a pair of TV Jones Classic Filter’Tron pickups, it delivers that signature Gretsch clarity and chime — rich lows, sparkling highs, and a sweetly compressed midrange. Whether clean or pushed, it has that unmistakable “Great Gretsch Sound.”
Attention to detail is second to none — from the hand-rolled fret edges and nitro finish to the aged gold hardware, Bigsby B3C vibrato, and period-correct, modern electronics. Every inch of this guitar radiates class, character, and playability.
