Cliff Gallup was an American electric guitarist known best for being a member of the rock 'n' roll band Gene Vincent and His Blue Caps in the 1950s, with hits like "Be-Bop-A-Lula", and "Race with the devil". Gallup had his own trademark sound and style, and was known for using a Gretsch Duo Jet. This signature guitar is a finely crafted celebration of Gallup’s famous 1954 model, and features all the essential ingredients of his time-honored signature sound.
Like its original 1950s ancestor, the G6128-CLFG Cliff Gallup Signature Duo Jet is designed with mid-50s-style sound chambers, creating a semi-hollow design, making the guitar lightweight, and offering a superb resonance. Its classic hollow body design offers crisp overtones while enhancing the overall resonance of the guitar, delivering bright tones. Its full-bodied, rounded sound is thanks to the laminated maple and mahogany combination, with the arched laminated maple top offering plenty of sparkle, while the mahogany body provides excellent warmth. A single-cutaway is also incorporated and provides easier access to those unreachable high frets, for a flexible performance.
The G6128-CLFG also features a real bone nut, which maintains its authentic appearance and offers excellent resonance and sustain. A bone nut also delivers a very balanced tone, naturally self lubricates and helps you stay in tune for longer.
The DynaSonic single-coil pickup has been a Gretsch standard since the late 1940s, and was one of the first pickups to offer individually adjustable pole-pieces. DynaSonic pickups are renowned for offering that classic rockabilly tone, that many retro players love. Wound slightly different to other pickups, the DynaSonic adds more high-end sparkle and delivers shimmering highs with a rich, full bass response. These pickups are ideal for any player who specialises in delicate finger-picked rhythms and flat picked solos.
