The cheapest Gretsch 6128 Duo Jet you will find

parker_knoll

Selling an immaculate mid 2000s Pro line 6128 Duo Jet with Filtertrons. As my girlfriend said when I got it, "what a beautiful guitar".  It's probably got one ding of about 1mm long on it. Ebony fingerboard, bone nut, thumbnail inlays, silver scratchplate, lightweight resonant hollow body, the works. 

The cheapest Duo Jet currently on eBay starts at £1,500. I'm looking for £1,099. 

I really like this guitar. In short I'm selling because I have to. Pics to follow this weekend. Based in centralish London. You're welcome to come to my tiny messy flat and play, or strum it acoustically (sorry) at my work downtown in Holborn.

Oh yes, I still have the box and can ship it.

Sorry, I don't know how to describe it. Bigger than my matchstick thin 1966 Guild Duane Eddy, but not too big that my slightly Trumpian hands can't get around it. I'll fish around and see if I can find the official spec. The fingerboard feels fairly flat to me. I'd guess a 10" radius or more.

It's the 1959 spec, like this one. Genuine pics will follow shortly.

Great deal if it's a bigsby model

TheMarlin

Does it have the Bigsby?

I'm guessing it's not the actual one Gilmour is playing in that video?

If it is, you have underpriced it.

If it isn't, some pics would be great...

It could be. He didn’t seem to have it on his last tour

Just grabbed some blurry phone pics between rain showers. Will get something better tomorrow. It has the original hard shell case.

Lovely guitar. Does it come with a case? Whereabouts in London are you based?

Yes, original Gretsch shaped hard case - nice and compact. Will snap it tomorrow. Based in Elephant & Castle just outside congestion zone. The guitar is super clean and plays really well. I'm selling it because I need the ££ for something else.
