Gretsch G6134TG Ltd. Paisley Penguin with String-Thru Bigsby – Black Paisley
The Limited Edition Paisley Penguin offers an elegant take on a classic Gretsch design. This Penguin features a chambered mahogany body with arched maple top that is gloriously adorned with a black edge burst finish over a black paisley and silver sparkle top. A pair of TV Jones TV Classic pickups provides cutting, twangy notes with a hint of growl similar to vintage late-1950s Filter’Trons, making it ideal for distinctive rock ‘n’ roll licks, chiming country rhythms, and everything in between.
HIGHLIGHTS:
Maple Top with Chambered Mahogany Body
The Limited Edition Paisley Penguin guitar features an arched maple top and chambered mahogany body which magnifies harmonic richness by letting air resonate between the top and body for a livelier and more articulate tone.
TV Jones Pickups
A pair of TV Jones TV Classic pickups provides cutting, twangy notes with a hint of growl similar to vintage late-1950s Filter’Trons. Clean, articulate treble and mids, and tight controlled low end make these pickups ideal for distinctive rock ‘n’ roll licks, chiming country rhythms, and everything in between.
Versatile Controls
The combination of individual pickup volume controls, master volume with treble bleed circuit, and master tone switch provides intuitive global control over your pickup and tone settings.
Limited Edition Aesthetics
The Limited Edition Paisley Penguin features an exclusive black paisley top finish with black edge burst, adorned with gold hardware, matching gold pickguard and pickup bezels, jeweled G-Arrow control knobs, and a gold metallic “winged” headstock logo to create a look and style as big and unmistakable as its sound.
