Gretsch

$4,329.99 CAD

The Gretsch G6129TG-59VS Limited Edition Sparkle Jet with Bigsby in Red Sparkle is a stunning fusion of timeless design and electrifying presence. Part of the Professional Collection, this instrument embodies the spirit of classic rock ‘n’ roll and the golden age of Gretsch craftsmanship. Its brilliant Red Sparkle top is not only visually dazzling but evokes the glamour of the stage, the gleam of spotlights, and the pulse of vintage energy that defined an era. Built on the iconic Jet™ shape, this solid-body masterpiece delivers both beauty and brawn, crafted from a mahogany body with a maple top for a voice that balances warmth, snap, and shimmering clarity.

The set mahogany neck, shaped in a comfortable Standard “U” profile, anchors the instrument with effortless playability and sustain. Finished in smooth gloss and bound in elegant white, it leads to a sleek ebony fingerboardadorned with classic pearloid thumbnail inlays and 22 medium jumbo frets, offering a luxurious surface for both expressive bends and precise articulation. With a 24.6-inch scale and bone nut, this Jet maintains that signature Gretsch feel — slinky, responsive, and unmistakably refined.

At its heart, the G6129TG-59VS carries the soul of vintage tone through a pair of TV Jones® Ray Butts Ful-Fidelity Filter’Tron™ humbuckers. These pickups faithfully recreate the crystalline sparkle and rich midrange chime of the original late-1950s Filter’Trons, delivering everything from bright, cutting rhythm tones to lush, harmonically complex leads. The intuitive control layout — individual volume controls for each pickup, a master volume, and a master tone — allows for detailed tonal sculpting, while the 3-position toggle switch provides quick shifts between punchy bridge snap, full-bodied neck warmth, or the perfect blend of both.

A Bigsby® vibrato tailpiece crowns the setup, offering smooth, expressive pitch control that enhances the guitar’s old-school vibe. The Adjusto-Matic™ bridge, Grover Imperial tuners, and knurled strap retainer knobs ensure rock-solid tuning stability and professional-grade performance. Every detail glows under the gold hardware, from the G-arrow control knobs to the gold Plexi pickguard bearing the Gretsch logo — all elements combining to create a sense of opulent refinement.

Weighing in at 7 lbs 13 oz, this Sparkle Jet feels perfectly balanced in hand, ready for the stage or studio. It arrives housed in a G6238 Gretsch Deluxe Solid Body Hardshell Case, ensuring it travels in style and safety. The Gretsch G6129TG-59VS Limited Edition Sparkle Jet isn’t just an instrument — it’s a statement piece, a tribute to classic craftsmanship, and a beacon of electric inspiration that shines as brightly as it sounds.
