TV Jones® TV Classic™ Plus bridge and TV Classic neck pickups replicate that unmistakable vintage Filter’Tron™ sound to fabulous sonic effect, and can be intuitively commanded using a versatile control layout featuring master volume with treble bleed circuit, master tone, individual pickup volume controls and three-way pickup toggle switch. reminds me a lot of the neck on my Strat.Our all-new G6129T-89VS Vintage Select ’89 Sparkle Jet™ with Bigsby® pays homage to a classic late-’80s design that rocked the forefront of the Pacific Northwest grunge movement that overtook the music world in the early 1990s.ĭelivering signature solid-body power and punch, the G6129T-89VS features period-correct chambered mahogany construction, which magnifies harmonic richness by letting air resonate between the top and body for livelier and more articulate tone. The pickups are nothing special, but I like them enough that I won't be swapping them out anytime soon. while G1626 would indicate a silver Synchromatic Sparkle Jet with a solid body.įeatures include a bolt-on maple neck with a rosewood fretboard and a 24.75' scale, a wrap-around tailpiece, master volume, individual volume for each pickup, master tone, and a 3-way pickup selector connected to two Gretsch humbuckers. Thus, G2629 would indicate a red Electromatic Sparkle Jet with an f-hole. It appears the third digit delineates between solid body (1) and semi-hollow (2), while the fourth digit indicates the color: black (5), silver (6), blue (7), gold (8), and red (9). My understanding (and perhaps someone with more knowledge of these can correct me if I'm wrong) is that these Sparkle Jets were made in Korea between 1999-2003, and were available with either Electromatic or Synchromatic on the headstock (depending on where they were sold), and in both a solid-body version and a semi-hollow version with a single f-hole.Īs far as I can tell, the Synchromatic models start with G16xx and the Electromatic models start with G26xx. Barely any fret wear, and the rosewood fretboard is very smooth with no sharp frets, etc. Needs a new toggle switch for the pickup selector (the original one broke off, but still functions), but other than that it's in remarkable shape for its age.
