Here is a RARE, GORGEOUS and HOT Gretsch 925 216 WC 1959 Duo Jet master-built by Stephen Stern in 2010. Glowing with an incredible Gun Metal Metallic Gray with Ferrari Red Trim. This is from the private collection of a recording artist and collector and was meticulously maintained and loved. The guitar is in near pristine condition. It is a head-turner, for sure.
Not your ordinary Gretsch Custom Shop "Duo-Jet" from master builder Stephen Stern, this beauty is a one-off custom—extra loud and highly resonant with a beautiful sparkly and classic Gretsch tone. Feels so good to play with the medium/full neck profile and perfect action. Comes with case candy and original tweed hardshell case, which has some inner liner discoloration at one end, but otherwise in near mint condition.
Don't miss out and snag this while you can. A portion of proceeds go to arts education programs here in the United States. This guitar is posted elsewhere and for possibly less, due to the seller's fee(s) on this site. Therefore, it may be sold at any moment. But if this listing is up then the guitar is still available. Note: serials are obscured and shared only with serious buyers due to fraud and privacy concerns.
NO TRADES OR SCAMS.
Thanks for looking.

Review of the Gretsch Custom Shop and this guitar:
The Gretsch Custom Shop has grown to become one of the finest custom divisions of any electric guitar manufacturer in the world. First established in 2005, the Gretsch Custom Shop was nothing more than a small corner on the top floor of Fender's Corona factory. Stephen Stern, until very recently the GCS's sole master builder, was put in charge of a small handful of employees and given nearly full creative freedom. The subsequent decades have seen Stern and his team create the absolute finest Gretsch guitars ever built. Their precision in manufacturing and creativity in development has far surpassed anything the company was capable of in the '50s and '60s, and this Duo Jet is a prime example. Master Built by the man himself, it represents the technical pinnacle of an already revered and classic model. It quite literally does not get any better than this.
