[PREORDER] Gretsch Limited Edition G6134TG-58 Vintage Select 1958 Custom Penguin w/Bigsby, Emerald Night

The Limited Edition 1958 Custom Penguin™ is a stunning recreation of one of Gretsch's most iconic vintage designs, finished in the captivating Emerald Night metallic finish. Blending period-correct appointments with carefully selected modern enhancements, this premium instrument delivers unmistakable Gretsch style, exceptional craftsmanship, and inspiring performance for players who demand something truly special.

A chambered mahogany body topped with carved maple provides exceptional resonance, rich harmonic complexity, and excellent sustain while remaining lightweight and responsive. The vintage chambering allows the body to breathe naturally, producing an open, lively character with outstanding articulation across the entire frequency range.

Loaded with TV Jones® Ray Butts Ful-Fidelity Filter'Tron™ pickups, the 1958 Custom Penguin faithfully recreates the original Filter'Tron sound. Built from Ray Butts' original notes and specifications, these pickups offer tighter bass response, sparkling highs, exceptional dynamics, and a wonderfully open three-dimensional voice that easily cuts through any mix while retaining classic Gretsch character.

The Standard "U" shaped mahogany neck combines with a smooth ebony fingerboard, medium jumbo frets, Mother of Pearl Neo-Classic™ thumbnail inlays, and Luminlay® side dots to provide exceptional comfort and effortless playability. Whether performing under bright stage lights or in darker venues, every position remains easy to navigate.

Premium hardware completes this exceptional instrument with a Bigsby® B3GP String-Thru vibrato, Space Control™ bridge with pinned ebony base, Grover® Imperial™ tuning machines, bone nut, luxurious gold hardware, and a deluxe Gretsch® hardshell case for maximum protection.
