Take a look at today’s USA Today (1/10/11) for an article on the Gretsch Custom Shop G6128T-GH George Harrison “Tribute” Duo Jet, a limited-run tribute model of the instrument Harrison described as his “first really decent guitar.”

My Dad bought the same 1957 Duo Jet for me from my sixth grade basketball coach. I still have the guitar and it plays better than any guitar I have ever played. My recollection is that he paid $150 for the guitar and a Fender Champ amplifier (unfortunately I let the amp go). Also, unfortunately, George was a little more successful with his Duo Jet than I, but it is cool how kids living world’s apart fell in love with the same guitar.
