DISC Gretsch G6134TDC-LTD15 Limited Edition Penguin, Broadway Jade

Full Description

Classic Gretsch Model in Limited Edition Broadway Jade

Original style Gretsch Penguins are thought to be the Falcon's younger sibling but without any F holes and with a Duo Jet size body but still featuring the classic late 50s oversized headstock. Traditionally, the Gretsch Penguin is finished in white with gold sparkle binding, however the G6134TDC-LTD15 is a broadway jade colour with white sparkle body and neck binding.

Chambered Thinline Double Cutaway

This Ltd Ed. Gretsch Penguin has a thinline double cutaway body which is more common on Duo Jet Gretsch models. The double cut body is chambered with a Maple top. Adding chambers to a guitars body allows for a little less weight making the guitar comfortable to play, more importantly it allows air to circulate within the guitar to produce almost undefinable tonal benefits.
