Gretsch G6131G-MY-RB Malcolm Young Signature Jet - Japan 2022

Few guitars are as synonymous with rock and roll as the Gretsch Jet, and few players have defined its raw power like Malcolm Young. As the driving force behind AC/DC’s legendary rhythm tone, Malcolm’s heavily modified Gretsch Jet Firebird became an essential part of his unmistakable sound. The Gretsch G6131G-MY-RB Malcolm Young Signature Jet is a meticulously crafted tribute to his iconic guitar, capturing its raw, stripped-down aesthetic and unmistakable tone. Built in Japan to exacting standards, this model recreates every detail of Malcolm’s original, from the chambered mahogany body to the signature trio of pickups.

This 2022 Gretsch G6131G-MY-RB is a truly rare find. Purchased at auction and never played, it has lived in its case since new and has only been strummed a handful of times. As a result, it remains in mint condition, untouched and factory fresh. Finished in Firebird Red, it boasts Gretsch’s classic gloss finish, giving it a striking, pristine look. This model comes equipped with TV Jones Ray Butts Ful-Fidelity Filter’Tron pickups in the bridge and neck, faithfully replicating the unmistakable vintage Gretsch voicing, while an added TV Jones Starwood humbucker in the middle provides clear and punchy tone.

Playability is exceptional, with a Standard "U" neck profile, smooth ebony fingerboard, and effortless access across the fretboard. The chambered body ensures lightweight comfort without sacrificing sustain, making it a joy to play whether you’re belting out AC/DC’s greatest riffs or crafting your own rock anthems. This is an extraordinary, barely touched example of one of the finest signature models in modern Gretsch history—a must-have for collectors, AC/DC fans, and players seeking raw rock and roll power.
