Here’s what Gretsch say
Inspired by the pivotal and prolific years of Gretsch’s 1950s and early ’60s golden age, Vintage Select Edition guitars are designed for the player who appreciates the finest in musical instrument heritage. The new G6131T-62 Vintage Select ’62 Jet™ Firebird™ with Bigsby® rocks that legacy to perfection. The early 1960s saw the double-cut Jet get a black back, a zero-fret and gold hardware. As previously, its signature power and punch came from chambered mahogany construction, which magnifies harmonic richness by letting air resonate between the top and body for livelier and more articulate tone. That’s all here on this fiery tone machine, along with TV Jones® Classic™ pickups that replicate that vintage Filter’Tron™ sound to fabulous sonic effect.

A vintage guitar is a guitar that is considered to be of significant age, typically over 30 years old, and often possesses historical, cultural, or collector’s value. Vintage guitars are highly sought after by collectors, musicians, and enthusiasts for their craftsmanship, tone, playability, and historical significance.
Vintage guitars can come from various eras, each with its own unique characteristics and desirability.
Vintage guitars often exhibit signs of wear and aging, which can add to their character and authenticity. However, originality, condition, and provenance are crucial factors that determine the value of a vintage guitar. Well-maintained and all-original vintage guitars with documented history and provenance tend to command higher prices on the collector’s market.
While vintage guitars can be valuable investments, they are also cherished for their playability and the unique sonic characteristics they offer. Many musicians prefer vintage instruments for their mojo, vibe, and connection to music history.
About Gretsch

Gretsch is an iconic American musical instrument company renowned for its production of high-quality guitars, particularly in the realm of hollow-body and semi-hollow electric guitars. Founded in 1883 by Friedrich Gretsch in Brooklyn, New York, the company initially focused on manufacturing drums and banjos before expanding into guitars. However, it was under the leadership of Fred Gretsch Jr. in the 1950s that Gretsch guitars gained widespread recognition and popularity, particularly with the introduction of the iconic “Country Gentleman” and “White Falcon” models, which became synonymous with the rockabilly and rock ‘n’ roll movements of the era.
Gretsch guitars are celebrated for their distinctive aesthetic and rich, resonant tones, making them a favorite among musicians across various genres, including rock, jazz, country, and blues. The company’s commitment to craftsmanship and attention to detail is evident in each instrument, with features such as Bigsby vibrato tailpieces, Filter’Tron pickups, and signature “F-holes” adorning many of their guitars. Today, Gretsch continues to produce a wide range of electric and acoustic guitars, staying true to its heritage while also embracing innovation to meet the evolving needs of musicians worldwide.
