Gretsch G6131-MY Malcolm Young Signature Jet - Natural

Here we have a brand new Gretsch G6131-MY Malcolm Young Signature Jet in Aged Natural! This is a factory-fresh instrument handcrafted in Japan as part of the Gretsch Professional Collection — and it's a serious piece of AC/DC history. Malcolm Young's 1963 Jet Firebird, nicknamed "The Beast," is one of the most iconic rhythm guitars in rock history. Rather than arriving as a simulated heavy-relic, this signature model features a clean Aged Natural "thin-skin" semi-gloss finish — a pristine, tour-ready canvas built to age naturally over a lifetime of playing, just like the original. Because Malcolm famously stripped out all non-essential circuitry, the G6131-MY is driven entirely by a single TV Jones Power'Tron humbucker in the bridge position. It's specifically voiced to bridge the gap between a vintage Gretsch Filter'Tron and a muscular PAF — delivering the midrange punch and immediate transient response needed to drive a hard-clip tube amp. The highly resonant, chambered mahogany body lets that single pickup capture a distinctively airy, woody acoustic bark that solidbody guitars simply can't replicate. The hardware is tailored for aggressive, heavy-gauge rhythm playing — a pinned Space-Control bridge on an ebony base, paired with a vintage '60s-style Jet tailpiece for solid string tension and tuning stability under heavy pick attack. The bound ebony fingerboard has 22 jumbo frets and classic pearloid Neo-Classic thumbnail inlays, set on a traditional "U"-shaped mahogany neck that feels substantial and familiar in your hands. It ships brand new in its original Gretsch packaging, complete with a deluxe hardshell case and all factory documentation. A remarkable instrument for anyone who knows that the best rock rhythm guitar tone is about what you leave out as much as what you put in.
