Gretsch Guitars G6134T-LTV White Penguin Semi-Hollow
Body Electric Guitar with Bigsby White
One night, many years ago in the Gretsch guitar factory,
a White Falcon and a Duo Jet were left sitting very close to each other
before the lights were turned out and everyone headed home. This slightly
odd couple started talking, one thing led to another, and . . . wham, bam!
The rarest bird of all time was born. The Gretsch White Penguin is
considered by many to be the ultimate in electric guitars featuring all
the glitter and glitz of the Falcon with the sleek styling of the Jet.
The light and fast single-cut Jet-style semi-hollowbody is crafted with an
arched laminated maple top and a mahogany back. The set one-piece mahogany
neck is topped by a 12" radius ebony fingerboard with 22 frets and
the iconic hump block position marker inlays with a delicate feather
motif. Both the body and neck are carefully bound with gold-sparkle
binding. Other special Gretsch Penguin touches include Grover Imperial
gold-plated die-cast tuners, inlaid winged Gretsch logo on headstock, gold
plexi pickguard with penguin motif, white-dot rhinestone inlays on control
knobs, and a gold sparkle truss rod cover. Dual TV Jones pickups deliver
that great Gretsch sound. The White Penguin Electric Guitar has an
ebony-base Space Control bridge and the Bigsby® B6G Vibrato tailpiece.
The Gretsch Company,
manufactures acoustic, electric guitars and drums . It all started
in 1883 by German immigrant Friedrich Gretsch from Mannheim. He founded
the Company in Brooklyn and it was since then, with the exception of the years
from 1967 to 1985, part of the Baldwin Piano Company in family hands - a
total of five generations. Since 2002, Fender controlled the production and sale
of the guitars and the Kaman Music Corporation took over the division drums. The
Gretsch family is still in the possession of "Gretsch Guitars".
