Description
The Gretsch G6134T-58 Limited Edition Penguin in Light Blue Pearl is a striking interpretation of one of Gretsch's most luxurious designs, blending vintage elegance with modern performance. Produced in limited numbers, this rare Penguin pairs unmistakable Gretsch style with premium Japanese craftsmanship, making it an exceptional choice for players who demand both visual flair and tonal versatility. Wrapped in a dazzling Light Blue Pearl finish and accented with silver sparkle binding, this guitar commands attention before a single note is played.
At its core is a chambered mahogany body topped with arched laminated maple, a combination that delivers warmth, resonance, and impressive clarity. The pair of TV Jones Ray Butts Ful-Fidelity Filter'Tron pickups capture the classic Gretsch sound in all its glory, offering sparkling cleans, punchy mids, and rich overdrive that excels across rock, country, blues, and rockabilly styles. A traditional three-position pickup selector and dedicated master volume control provide instant access to a wide range of tones, while the three-position tone switch adds classic Gretsch flexibility.
The mahogany neck features Gretsch's comfortable Standard "U" profile and is topped with an ebony fingerboard adorned with elegant mother-of-pearl Neo-Classic thumbnail inlays. Its 12-inch radius and 22 medium jumbo frets provide a familiar playing experience that accommodates both intricate chord work and expressive lead playing. Luminlay side dots ensure excellent visibility on dimly lit stages, while the bone nut and set-neck construction contribute to the instrument's impressive sustain and tuning stability.
Visually, the Penguin remains every bit as extravagant as its legendary predecessors. The shimmering Light Blue Pearl finish is complemented by silver sparkle binding, a silver plexi pickguard featuring the iconic penguin graphic, jeweled G-Arrow knobs, and oversized Grover Imperial tuners. The Space Control bridge and string-through Bigsby B3CP vibrato offer smooth pitch manipulation while preserving the guitar's unmistakable vintage character.
The Gretsch G6134T-58 Limited Edition Penguin is more than a showpiece; it's a world-class instrument built for players who appreciate timeless design and unmistakable tone. With its premium appointments, versatile electronics, and unforgettable appearance, Cream City Music is proud to offer this rare and beautifully crafted Penguin.
