This is a 1962 Champagne Jet. Chris Ruiz-Velasco own this one and the one above. Duo Jet styles like this guitar first appeared in the 1961 Gretsch catalog. The double-cutaway model had natural brown sides and back. Besides changing the form of the guitar in the early 60’s, the company also began putting gold-plated accessories on them. Although Gretsch continued selling these types of guitars throughout the 60’s, the company stopped making sparkle guitars by the time the price sheet was out |
