The G6134T-58 Vintage Select ’58 Penguin™ with Bigsby® rocks that legacy with a finely crafted new take on that rarest of Gretsch birds.
1958 saw Gretsch’s venerable Penguin guitar decked out with a pair of Filter’Tron™ pickups, complementing the signature sound of its chambered mahogany body, which magnifies harmonic richness by letting air resonate between the top and body for livelier and more articulate tone. The dual TV Jones® Classic™ pickups on this gorgeous Antarctic baby in Vintage White replicate that unmistakable vintage Filter’Tron™ sound to fabulous sonic effect.
