Achieve a tone that retains a glorious vintage undercurrent but is still unmistakably you. Equipped at the neck and bridge positions are TV Jones TV Classic pickups. They are wonderfully refined and respond brilliantly to every nuance of sound with a great retro feel, projecting vintage snap and growl. Their tone resides between the sweet brightness of a single coil and the fatter sound of a humbucker, giving you wondrously unique sonic characteristics with clean, glassy trebles and tight lows.
Designed to offer you the utmost control over your sound, the G6134T Penguin comes with an abundance of versatile controls. With a volume control for each pickup, as well as a master volume knob, you can finetune your tone until it sounds as pristine as you like. From the first note, you'll be instantly recognisable. Choose to utilise either or both pickups using the 3-position toggle switch and flick easily between them without ever impeding your performance. From thrilling lead lines to vibrant rhythm sections, the electronics on this guitar will thrive.
They say that beauty is only skin deep. Well, with the Gretsch G6134T, this is not the case. The exquisite, dark finish is a handsome mask hiding the intricacy and innovation that lies within. Boasting a chambered design, the G6134T is superbly light and easy to hold. Never experience any of that dreaded shoulder pain when you're holding this guitar, its scrupulously considered chambers will ensure you are granted a dreamy playing experience from start to finish. Better still, it exudes a tone that is filled with airy resonance and harmonic richness. This pairs perfectly with the mahogany back and sides and figured koa top which enhance your sound with warmth and astounding articulation.
The benefits of an ebony fretboard are endless. This premium tonewood is an indicator of the sublime quality and unparalleled craftsmanship Gretsch are renowned for and with the Penguin you can experience all its glory in abundance. Slide your fingers from fret to fret at rocket speed, ebony's naturally high oil content gives it a silky-smooth finish that is perfect for fast and intricated fretting techniques. It also ensures that every single note escapes from the strings immaculately, releasing them with clarity and shimmering sustain.
From just a glance, it is obvious that this guitar is meant to thrive off incredible playing techniques. From insane vibrato to crazy pitch bends, the "rocking" bar bridge, Bigsby B3 Vibrato tailpiece, and Grover Imperial tuning machines allow you to be truly expressive whilst making sure you have precise intonation and the ultimate tuning stability. Keep your strings firmly in place after you've dumbfounded your audience with your wild skill and feel the thrill of being able to play freely. It's not a dream and it's not wishful thinking, you really can go to ridiculous lengths with the whammy bar and still be securely in tune.
