Gretsch introduced this series in 1955. Though called a solidbody by Gretsch,
the Jet series actually has internal hollow chambers that contribute to its light
weight and resonant tone. The black version (the Duo-Jet) was the favorite
instrument of Cli Gallup, original lead guitarist for Gene Vincent’s Blue Caps.
The guitar we modeled had DeArmond

pickups and a Melita bridge.

Popularized by George Harrison in the Beatles and Roger McGuinn in the
Byrds, the distinctive jangle of the 12 string Rickenbacker was a signicant
part of the 60s rock sound. Our model has the original “toaster” pickups.

ES-335
The semi-hollow Gibson was conceived as a blend of the tone and sustain of
a solidbody, with the balance and aesthetics of a hollowbody. The “woody”
tone of these guitars made them popular with Jazz artists like Larry Carlton
and Blues greats like B. B. and Albert King. Our model is based on a 1961
dot neck, with P.A.F. pickups and a stop tailpiece.

Gibson acquired former rival Epiphone in 1957 and began producing
Epiphone guitars in its Kalamazoo factory. John Lennon was particularly fond
of the Casino, and continued to record with it long after the breakup of the
Beatles. The Casino features P-90 pickups.
