The '58 Penguin Reborn!
If you want the sound and style of the Gretsch Penguin from the year that defined this iconic solidbody electric guitar, then you need to get your hands on the G6134T-58 Vintage Select Edition '58 Penguin. It's a perfect re-creation of the first generation Penguin to feature Gretsch's Filter'Tron humbucking pickup, which they'd introduced at the Chicago Summer NAMM show in '57. What's more, this remake comes decked out with gold hardware, including a period-accurate Space Control bridge with a pinned base and Bigsby B3GB vibrato tailpiece. It even has a classic banjo armrest! Top it off with nuances such as dot-style knobs and the penguin on the floating pickguard, and the G6134T-58 Vintage Select Edition '58 Penguin is a perfect example of what a re-creation guitar should be.
