Customer reviews
Quite simply a lovely instrument. Beautifully set up by Project Music.
Nice, forgiving action. Great sound. Feels really good to play. Can understand why George Harrison liked his Duo Jet back in the sixties when he used it on all the early hit recordings by the Beatles. My purchase was partly because I’m writing a book, due out in late August 2024, in which George Harrison’s Duo Jet appears and I wanted to know exactly what the guitar was like, and why George was so fond of it. Very happy with the purchase. Highly recommended.
