Gretsch G6134T Penguin Koa

Super rare and very exclusive Made in Japan Gretsch. Used, but in top condition apart from a repaired headstock break, as can be seen in the photos. The repair has been professionally done and is 100% stable, and the guitar plays and sounds competely as it should, now it just costs much less!

DETAILS

The G6134T Limited Edition Penguin™ Koa with Bigsby® offers a tastefully elegant take on the rarest of Gretsch® birds.

The Penguin’s chambered mahogany body with arched figured koa top captures harmonic richness by letting air resonate between the top and body for livelier and more articulate tone, while a pair of TV Jones® TV Classic™ pickups beautifully project bright, twangy notes with a hint of growl similar to late-1950s Filter’Trons.

The result is an extraordinary voice ideal for distinctive rock ‘n’ roll licks, chiming country rhythms or articulate rockabilly riffs. A three-position pickup toggle switch, individual pickup volume controls, master volume and three-position tone toggle switch open up endless tonal possibilities.

Its premium features also include a set mahogany neck, 12”-radius ebony fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets, Bigsby B3 tailpiece, rocking bar bridge with pinned ebony base, Grover® Imperial™ tuners and bone nut.

Richly appointed, this limited edition koa beauty is decked out in a Natural finish with matching figured koa headstock, tortoiseshell body and neck binding, mother of pearl Neo-Classic™ thumbnail inlays, jeweled arrow control knobs, tortoise pickguard and gold hardware.
