Gretsch Custom Shop Masterbuilt 1957 Duo Jet Relic Cadillac Green (905)

Masterbuilt in the Gretsch Custom Shop and spec’d to exacting detail for Willcutt Guitars, this 1957 Duo Jet Relic captures the golden-era Gretsch vibe with exceptional feel, tone, and aesthetic refinement.

Finished in a beautifully aged Cadillac Green nitro lacquer with a black back, neck, and sides, this Duo Jet nails the look and feel of a well-loved vintage instrument. The chambered mahogany body with a laminated maple top delivers the signature Duo Jet response—articulate, snappy, and rich with harmonic content.

Loaded with Dynasonic pickups, this guitar offers crystalline highs, dynamic midrange, and that unmistakable Gretsch bite. The “Stock C” mahogany neck features an ebony fingerboard with aged nitro cloud inlays and red side dots—paired with vintage frets and a bone nut for an authentic, broken-in feel.

A rocking bar bridge and Bigsby B3C tailpiece round out the build, offering smooth vibrato and period-correct hardware. .060" white binding, G-arrow knobs, Gotoh tuners, and black pickguard with cream Gretsch logo complete the vintage-correct visual package.

This guitar reflects a collaborative vision between Willcutt Guitars and the Gretsch Custom Shop—bringing together historical accuracy, top-tier craftsmanship, and a truly inspiring playing experience.
