- offset double cutaway mahogany body, mahogany neck, 21-fret rosewood fingerboard with pearl dot inlay, black face peghead with logo, three-per-side tuners with plastic buttons, adj. rosewood bridge, trapeze tailpiece, two-piece pickguard, single HiLo'Tron pickup, two knobs (v, tone), chrome hardware, available in Natural (Model 6132), or Platinum Grey (Model 6133) finish, 13.5 in. body width, 24.5 in. scale, mfg. 1961-1978.
In 1963, the body shape was altered in that the cutaways became sharper, the pickguard styling changed, the metal bridge replaced the ebony bridge, Cherry finish was introduced, Platinum Grey finish was disc, and more pickup options became available: one pickup with vibrato (Model 6134) and two pickups (extra tone control and three-position switch) with vibrato (Model 6135) In 1964, the headstock became rounded with 2/4-per-side tuners. In 1966, the Silver Duke with Silver Glitter finish and the Gold Duke with Gold Glitter finish were produced. These guitars were stock 1966 Corvettes (Model 6135) with special finishes that were built specifically for the Sherman Clay Music store chain of the western U.S. Company brochures of the time did not identify the above Duke models. These models have been mis-identified as being named after Charles Duke Kramer, a long time Gretsch employee - but that was not the case. A small amount of these models exist. In 1968, single pickup models 6132 and 6134 were disc., and a Bigsby vibrato and Super'Tron pickups were introduced. This model was disc. in 1972, but was listed again in the catalog in 1976 as the Model 7623.
