The Limited Edition 1958 Custom Penguin™ takes a legendary Gretsch design and cloaks it in the striking Emerald Night metallic finish, creating an instrument that's as visually captivating as it is sonically powerful. This rare bird combines period‐accurate construction with carefully considered modern appointments, featuring a mahogany body with vintage chambering and an arched maple top that provides the perfect foundation for its distinctive voice.
TV Jones® Ray Butts Ful‐Fidelity Filter'Tron™ pickups supply all the twang, growl, and cutting power you need to stand out in any mix. The standard "U" shaped mahogany neck is topped with a 12"‐radius ebony fingerboard, complete with 22 medium jumbo frets and Mother of Pearl Neo‐Classic™ thumbnail inlays. Luminlay® side dots ensure perfect navigation in low‐light situations, while the nitrocellulose lacquer finish adds that authentic vintage aesthetic.
Premium hardware includes Grover® Imperial™ tuners, a Space Control™ bridge with pinned ebony base, and a Bigsby® B3GP String‐Thru vibrato tailpiece, all finished in gold to complement the guitar's sophisticated appearance. The three‐position toggle switching and dual volume controls with master volume provide extensive tonal flexibility. A G6238XL Gretsch® deluxe hardshell case is included to protect your investment.
