Guitars used by Alex Turner on R U Mine? / Electricity

Solid Body Electric Guitars

Gretsch G6128T-62 Duo Jet

Avg price: $2,250.00

Alex Turner plays a 1962 Gretsch G6128T Duo Jet for live and recording sessions with Arctic Monkeys. Alex primarily uses the guitar live for the song “R U Mine?” as he recorded the song with the Gretsch to get a more gritty tone. The guitar was a gift from former girlfriend Arielle Vandenberg in 2011-2012, around the time he recorded the song, often dedicating the song to her at live shows. He has also used the guitar live for songs such as “Arabella” and “Mad Sounds” on a rare occasion. It is unknown what other songs he has recorded with the Duo Jet, it can be safe to say it was used during the “AM” recording sessions and the recording of the “R U Mine?” single in 2012.
