Gretsch G6134TFM-NH Nigel Hendroff Signature Penguin - Dark Cherry Metallic Flame Reviews
Nigel Hendroff, music director and lead guitarist at Hillsong Church, has teamed with Gretsch to produce an instrument that’s all his own. Dubbed the G6134TFM-NH, the Nigel Hendroff Signature Penguin is not the average Penguin. It all begins with a chambered mahogany body, a stunning flame maple top, and a classic banjo armrest that supplies a comfortable and lightweight platform that’s perfect for Sunday morning worship with the congregation. From there, Nigel applied small but impactful design adjustments that took the design to the next level. The tone is supplied by a pair of Tim Shaw-designed BT65 humbuckers, while simplified master volume and tone controls shape the sound before it hits your effects; playability is second to none, thanks to the "U"-shaped mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard. All-in-all, the Gretsch G6134TFM-NH Nigel Hendroff Signature Penguin is the ultimate guitar for praise and worship — and beyond.

Hendroff Gretsch
I love this guitar, this is custom shop quality and sounds exactly like what I hear in my head. I was uncertain about the Broadtron pickups but they are perfect, like a Filtertron but fuller. The neck is so smooth, the fretwork is perfect! It's expensive but I was buying various Gretsch guitars and selling them because they weren't exactly what I wanted and now I have what I want.
Ethan Katau is excellent to work with and helped me so much. Pull the trigger!
Great guitar- Need to do things to make it better
This guitar when you get it feels like a fine piece of craftsmanship. Truly is a very well made Gretsch. I noticed a few things though. 1. Stock guitar is really hard to keep in tune 2. Pickups aren't balanced in factory. I watched some videos of people close to Nigel who played the demo versions. With the parts that come on it, they said it was "impossible to keep in tune" which from my experience was very true. They said to replace the bridge with a roller one and it fixed it almost 100%. The pickups are very bass-y so you'll need to lower them with a screwdriver (that was also mentioned in the video but that could be different for each guitar). Once you do those two things, the guitar will be 1000% better and now I use it all the time as my primary! Hopefully these tips help!
