This is a very cool special edition G6134TDC Penguin model done with a double cutaway body style and a very unique fished called Broadway Jade. It's a a bit like Seafoam Green with very fine metallic flake. This is a phenomenally cool finish that's offset beautifully by a white sparkle binding and chrome hardware. This Penguin is essentially a 1960’s style Duo Jet done with the Falcon trim package. The Penguin can be considered a solid body guitar because it's constructed of a solid mahogany back, but due to a heavily chambered body and a 3 ply maple top the guitar retains some of the hollow body tone Gretsch guitars are famous for. Additionally the heavily chambered design makes the guitar very lightweight and well balanced. The voice of the guitar is clear and true with tight bass response and crystal clear treble. The humbucking Filter’Tron pickups offer very low noise and sound fantastic clean but handle quite a bit of overdrive as well! The guitar is well suited for a multitude of playing styles from jazz to blues and rock & roll. We are a long standing fully authorized independent Gretsch guitar dealer. This is a brand new guitar and comes as shown in the photo's with the deluxe Gretsch hard case, and the Gretsch Limited lifetime warranty. If you have any questions at all please feel free to give us a call!
About the Guitar (from Gretsch)
The rarest of the rare, the G6134TDC-LTD15 Broadway Jade Penguin Limited Edition is an astonishing take on one of the most collectible Gretsch® guitars ever produced. Framed with chrome appointments, the classy Broadway Jade metallic finish presents a royal touch for this one-of-a-kind instrument packed with inspiring tones that range from soft, dulcet whispers to pure, raw rock ‘n’ roll power.
The Penguin’s highly-resonant double cutaway chambered mahogany body is capped by an arched maple top for a playing surface that’s as comfortable as it is gorgeous. Dual High Sensitive Filter’Tron™ humbucking pickups generate pure harmonically and volume balanced tone that’s as raucous or refined as you need. This flexible tone is channeled by the standard Gretsch control layout—volume controls for each pickup, a master volume control, three-position pickup selector switch and the famous Gretsch three-position tone switch on the upper bout for instant access to eminently useful voicings. Enjoy a comfortably familiar playing feel from the standard “U”-shaped neck profile—comfortable for chord and melodic playing alike—while the 12”-radius bound ebonyf ingerboard with pearloid Neo-Classic™ thumbnail inlays is designed for fleet playing across the 22 medium jumbo frets. A touch- sensitive Bigsby® B3C vibrato tailpiece is near to hand to embellish your playing with style and grace while the pinned “rocking” bar bridge and chrome Grover® Imperial™ tuners work in concert to ensure your instrument stays in tune all night long.
Gleaming under the spotlights, this instrument is a true performer, designed to take center-stage and shine. There’s no mistaking the bold style as anything less than Gretsch—chrome hardware, white sparkle neck and body binding, jeweled chrome “Arrow” control knobs and white plexi pickguard with silver Penguin logo combine for a look that’s as rich as the sound. Destined to astonish the audience’s eyes and ears, the G6134TDCLTD15 Broadway Jade Penguin Limited Edition is a guitar for those who demand the ultimate in playability and style melded with That Great Gretsch Sound!™
