Gretsch Custom Shop Masterbuilt G6131-59 Duo Jet Firebird Red Relic (897)

Spec’d by Willcutt Guitars and built by the elite Gretsch Custom Shop, this Masterbuilt 1959 Duo Jet in Firebird Red is a striking homage to one of Gretsch’s most iconic vintage designs. Dressed in a heavily relic’d nitro Firebird Red finish with a black back, neck, and headstock, it blends bold aesthetics with era-authentic tone and feel.

The chambered mahogany body with laminated maple top delivers the clarity, resonance, and lightweight comfort Duo Jets are known for. A pair of TV Jones Classic pickups with PAT# covers offers the perfect dose of sparkle, snap, and midrange chime—ideal for rockabilly, classic rock, country, and modern roots tones.

Its mahogany neck features a “Stock C” profile, vintage frets, and an ebony fingerboard with thumbnail inlays, MOP detail, red side dots, and .060" white binding—all designed for vintage feel with Custom Shop refinement. The classic tone switch wiring gives you quick tonal shifts from chime to warmth, while the Bigsby B3C and rocking bar bridge provide smooth vibrato and spot-on intonation.

Finished off with G-arrow knobs, silver pickup bezels, and a black pickguard with cream Gretsch logo, this Masterbuilt '59 Duo Jet is a standout example of what happens when world-class craftsmanship meets Willcutt’s curated vintage vision.
