Description

Step into the world of rock 'n' roll with the G6128T-CLFG Cliff Gallup Signature Duo Jet, a guitar that pays homage to the legendary Cliff Gallup of Gene Vincent and His Blue Caps fame. This meticulously crafted instrument is a spot-on re-creation of Gallup's iconic 1954 Duo Jet, ensuring that musicians today can capture the same timeless sound that defined an era.

The Duo Jet's classic vibe is brought to life through its dual DynaSonic single-coil pickups, known for delivering that authentic mid-'50s tone. Its rosewood fretboard, highlighted by traditional Big Block pearloid inlays, provides both visual appeal and smooth playability. The guitar is equipped with a compensated aluminum bridge and a Bigsby B3BBST vibrato tailpiece, allowing for expressive pitch modulation and stability.

The attention to detail is evident with period-correct arrow control knobs and a dark-stained headstock, which proudly features Cliff Gallup's signature on the truss rod cover—making it not only a functional instrument but a piece of rock history. This Duo Jet comes strung with flatwound strings, just as Cliff played, ensuring that every note rings with authenticity and nostalgia.
