No instruments epitomize the extraordinary expertise and attention to detail of Gretsch’s most trusted hands like Custom Shop instruments.

Applied For\" Filter'Tron, the TV Classic is one of the most popular and most versatile pickups out there.  It sits right between a typical Fender (bright single-coil) \u0026amp; Gibson (darker \u0026amp; thick humbucker) with a unique growl when you dig in.

The Tru-Arc has a more pronounced radius than the standard Gretsch bridge. It's also heavier, which increases tone and sustain.  Typically, you'll see brass Tru-Arc bridges, but for this guitar we went for stainless steel at Stern's suggestion - not only does it match the rest of the hardware better, but it also has a full, even and smooth hi-fi response, with max sustain.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe guitar comes complete with a beautiful Gretsch tweed case (only available with Custom Shop models), a proprietary El Dorado leather strap, and a Certificate of Authenticity.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eWhen we put together a run of Custom Shop Duo Jets with Stephen Stern, in various versions, this spec guitar was the first to arrive.  It sold quickly and we knew we had to do it again.  Now, built by Chad Henrichsen, it's just as good as we remember - he nailed it!  Come to Truetone Music to experience it in person, or make it yours right here.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMODEL #: 9252003858\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSERIAL # UC26013969\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWEIGHT: 7.9 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBASE MODEL: Duo Jet - 1959 Style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCOLOR: Olympic White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAGING TYPE: NOS (New Old Stock)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBODY STYLE: Chambered Single Cutaway\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTOP: Arched Laminated Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBACK: Chambered Mahogany Body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSIDES: Chambered  Mahogany Body \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNECK WOOD: Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNECK SHAPE: Standard \"C\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFRETBOARD WOOD: Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFRETBOARD INLAY MATERIAL:  Mother Of Pearl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFRETBOARD INLAY STYLE:  Wide Block\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFRETS: Vintage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNUT:  Bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTRUSS ADJUST: Headstock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHEADSTOCK LOGO: Rounded Horizontal Gretsch Logo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHEADSTOCK LOGO MATERIAL: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBINDING: Block\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNECK PICKUP: TV Jones Classic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBRIDGE PICKUP: TV Jones Classic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWIRING: Master Vol, Neck Vol, Bridge Vol, P\/U Selector Switch and Tone Switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePICKGUARD ENGRAVING: Gretsch Logo on Colored Pickguard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePICKGUARD MATERIAL: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKNOBS: G Arrow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBRIDGE: Tru-Arc - Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTAILPIECE: Gretsch Bigsby B3C Vibrato Tailpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTUNERS: Gotoh Vintage Style Tuners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHARDWARE: Chrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCASE: Gretsch Tweed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Gretsch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40688795779253,"sku":"00GCS013","price":5600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/files\/1-Img43749.jpg?v=1779325216"},{"product_id":"gretsch-custom-shop-masterbuilt-stephen-stern-1959-penguin-quilt-maple-top-nos-2-tone-sunburst","title":"Gretsch Custom Shop Masterbuilt Stephen Stern 1959 Penguin Quilt Maple Top NOS 2-Tone Sunburst","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGretsch Custom Shop Masterbuilt Stephen Stern G6134CS 1959 Penguin Quilt Maple Top 2-Tone Sunburst\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003eIMPECCABLE CRAFTSMANSHIP\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\nThe Gretsch Custom Shop is where the time-honored legacy reaches its creative apex.

The Tru-Arc has a more pronounced radius than the standard Gretsch bridge.

It's also heavier, which increases tone and sustain.  Typically, you'll see brass Tru-Arc bridges, but for this guitar we went for stainless steel - not only does it match the rest of the hardware better, but it also has a full, even and smooth hi-fi response, with max sustain.   If you're a stickler for intonation, the SerpenTune version of the Tru-Arc bridge is the one to go with - it's a rocking bar bridge with a compensating ridge milled into the top surface which puts every string at its measured ideal position for dead-on intonation.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThat, together with the Bigsby B3C vibrato and Ray Butts Full Fidelity pickups and the classic Gretsch wiring set up, gives you the legendary old-school Gretsch sound and feel, with a twist.   The Custom Shop suggested those pickups, as they feel that they are the most authentic sounding.  You get the full clarity and bite expected from Filtertons, and the treble bleed control allows you to ease up without losing highs.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis is the only one with these specs in existence, making it truly unique.  We put together a run of Duo Jets with the Masterbuilders, in various versions, and this is easily one of the coolest.  Come to Truetone Music to experience it in person, or make it yours right here.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMODEL #: 9252003827\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSERIAL # UC23122568\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWEIGHT: 8.5 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBASE MODEL: Duo Jet - 1959 Style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCOLOR: Natural (Koa)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAGING TYPE: NOS (New Old Stock)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBODY STYLE: Chambered Single Cutaway\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTOP:  Maple Ply with Arched Laminated Figured Koa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBACK: Chambered Mahogany Body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSIDES: Chambered  Mahogany Body \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNECK WOOD: Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNECK SHAPE: Standard \"C\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFRETBOARD WOOD: Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFRETBOARD INLAY MATERIAL:  Mother Of Pearl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFRETBOARD INLAY STYLE:  Neo Classical Thumbnail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFRETS: Vintage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNUT:  Bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTRUSS ADJUST: Headstock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHEADSTOCK MATERIAL: Koa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHEADSTOCK LOGO: Script\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHEADSTOCK LOGO MATERIAL: Mother of Pearl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSIDE DOTS: Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBINDING: White Nitro (Tinting)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNECK PICKUP: Ray Butts Full Fidelity w\/ PAT #'s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBRIDGE PICKUP: Ray Butts Full Fidelity w\/ PAT #'s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBEZELS: Tortoise Shell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWIRING: Master Vol, Neck Vol, Bridge Vol, P\/U Selector Switch and Tone Switch (with Treble Bleed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePICKGUARD ENGRAVING: Gretsch Script Logo (Cream)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePICKGUARD MATERIAL: Tortoise Shell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKNOBS: G Arrow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBRIDGE: Tru-Arc Sepentune Compensated Rocking Bar Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTAILPIECE: Gretsch Bigsby B3C Vibrato Tailpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTUNERS: Gotoh Vintage Style Tuners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHARDWARE: Nickel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCASE: Gretsch Tweed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e.","brand":"Gretsch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42841077383411,"sku":"00GCS020","price":6499.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/files\/1-Img1259.jpg?v=1741723834"},{"product_id":"gretsch-custom-shop-masterbuilt-g6130cs-rodeo-roundup-jr-relic-natural-with-case","title":"Gretsch Custom Shop Masterbuilt G6130CS Rodeo Roundup Jr. Relic Natural With Case","description":"\u003ch4 style=\"text-align: center;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eONE OF A KIND ROUNDUP\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The Gretsch Custom Shop is where the time-honored legacy reaches its creative apex.

The C shape neck is extremely comfortable, and has the perfect amount of relic'ing to feel broken in.   The body is made of mahogany, with the pine top; the neck is also mahogany, with a rosewood fretboard.  The guitar is surprisingly light, even with the Bigsby BG6 (a classic Gretsch element).  It's well-balanced and could easily be played while strapped on for hours.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe went old school with the pickups - the guitar is loaded with a pair of DynaSonics, made at the Seymour Duncan Custom Shop.  They provide the legendary Gretsch sound.  It's a proper single pickup, in that there is one bobbin and coil of copper wire.  It's wider because there's a thick Alnico 5 bar magnet to the side of the bobbin (instead of pole pieces like most single coil pickups).  This magnet magnetizes the steel spacer between itself and the bobbin, transferring it the a single row of adjustable pole pieces.  This is how a DynaSonic pickup gets its big, glassy tone, unique to itself.  It's that classic bright output that makes a vintage-style Gretsch like a  favorite for gorgeous cleans, as well unruly higher-gain sounds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe guitar comes complete with a special blonde case, high-end El Dorado strap and Certificate of Authenticity.  The full list of specs is below.  Be sure to check out all of the photos to see everything, and zoom in to see the intricate detail.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eIt's truly a stunning guitar, and one you won't see anywhere else - because it's the only one ever built!  We consider ourselves lucky to be able to present this masterpiece.  Come to Truetone Music to experience it in person, or make it yours right here.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRODUCT SPECS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAGING TYPE: \u003c\/b\u003eLIGHT RELIC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNECK WOOD: \u003c\/b\u003eMAHOGANY\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFRETBOARD WOOD: \u003c\/b\u003eINDIAN ROSEWOOD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFRETBOARD INLAY MATERIAL: \u003c\/b\u003eAGED MOTHER OF PEARL NITRO\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFRETBOARD INLAY STYLE: \u003c\/b\u003eWESTERN MOTIF ENGRAVED BLOCK\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHEADSTOCK PERIMETER: \u003c\/b\u003e54 DUO-JET\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRAW HEADCAP: \u003c\/b\u003eRODEO PINE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHEADSTOCK LOGO: \u003c\/b\u003eSCRIPT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHEADSTOCK LOGO MATERIAL: \u003c\/b\u003eMOTHER OF PEARL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFRETS: \u003c\/b\u003eVINTAGE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNECK BINDING: \u003c\/b\u003e.060 NITRO\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSIDE DOTS: \u003c\/b\u003eRED\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNECK SHAPE: \u003c\/b\u003eSTOCK \"C\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNUT: \u003c\/b\u003eBONE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBODY STYLE: \u003c\/b\u003e55 ROUND-UP\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTOP: \u003c\/b\u003eFLAT TOP RODEO PINE w\/SEAT NUMBER\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBACK : \u003c\/b\u003eMAHOGANY\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSIDES: \u003c\/b\u003eMAHOGANY\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBODY BINDING: \u003c\/b\u003eROUND-UP ENGRAVED\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWIRING: \u003c\/b\u003eTONE POT w\/TREBLE BLEED\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHARDWARE: \u003c\/b\u003eGOLD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTUNERS: \u003c\/b\u003eGOTOH\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNECK PICKUP: \u003c\/b\u003eDUNCAN DYNA-SONIC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBRIDGE PICKUP: \u003c\/b\u003eDUNCAN DYNA-SONIC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKNOBS: \u003c\/b\u003ePLAIN TOP\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBRIDGE: \u003c\/b\u003eSYCNCHRO-SONIC DIRECT MOUNT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTAILPIECE: \u003c\/b\u003eBELT BUCKLE\/BIGSBY B5 CVT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eADDITIONAL NOTES: \u003c\/b\u003eHAND TOOL LEATHER TRIM \u0026amp; PICKGUARD \u0026amp; TRUSS ROD COVER\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eADDITIONAL NOTES: \u003c\/b\u003eWORN NECK\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePART NUMBER: \u003c\/b\u003e9252003828\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e.","brand":"Gretsch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43361078280435,"sku":"00GCS021","price":8500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/products\/1-DSCF3755.jpg?v=1741723789"},{"product_id":"gretsch-custom-shop-masterbuilt-g6134cst-baritone-penguin-nos-lake-placid-blue-with-case","title":"Gretsch Custom Shop Masterbuilt G6134CST Baritone Penguin NOS Lake Placid Blue With Case","description":"\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTHE BARITONE BIRD\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e  \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe Gretsch Custom Shop is where the time-honored legacy reaches its creative apex.

The Magna'Tron delivers a unique mix of single-coil spank meets Filter'Tron style twang with no hum.  Slightly brighter and tighter on the bass than the TV Classic, it's ideal for this instrument.  For the bridge position, it's the TV Jones Classic, capturing the vintage twang and growl characteristic of the late 50's Filter'Tron.  The tone is between a typical Fender (bright single-coil) \u0026amp; Gibson (darker \u0026amp; thick humbucker) with a unique growl when you dig in.

with bell-like chimes.  This wood is typically only seen on acoustic guitars....rarely on an electric, let alone a Gretsch, and definitely not a Penguin.  In fact, we believe this is the only

No instruments epitomize the extraordinary expertise and attention to detail of Gretsch’s most trusted hands like Custom Shop instruments.

Wound a slightly different way to add more high-end sparkle and output, these pickups sound absolutely amazing.  They are great for single note playing, whether with your fingers or a pick, and react very well to your level of attack.  At the same time, they are great for rhythm playing and chords.  This a very versatile set of pickups, and with the controls on this guitar, a variety of tones can be dialed in.  Also, the wiring includes a treble bleed on the tone put.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOther features include a Synchro-Sonic bridge bridge, a Vintage \"G\" cutout tailpiece, Gotoh tuners, and gold hardware.  Going up the neck, the fancy look is completed by moto block inlays.  The headstock is adorned with the old school Gretsch script logo, retaining a nice touch of 1954.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe G6128-CS Duo Jet comes complete with a custom case, high-end El Dorado strap and Certificate of Authenticity.  The full list of specs is below.  Be sure to check out all of the photos to see everything, and zoom in to see the intricate detail.  It's truly a stunning guitar, and one you won't see anywhere else - because it's the only one ever built!

The C shape neck is extremely comfortable, and the instrument is surprisingly light (8.9 lbs).  The body is made of mahogany, with a maple top.  It's well-balanced and could easily be played while strapped on for hours.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eThe Custom Shop chose a great set of pickups that work for a baritone perfectly.  In the neck position, it's the TV Jones Magna'Tron, which is bright and chirpy, with quick attack and exceptional pop and clarity. The Magna'Tron delivers a unique mix of single-coil spank meets Filter'Tron style twang with no hum.  Slightly brighter and tighter on the bass than the TV Classic, it's ideal for this instrument.  For the bridge position, it's the TV Jones Classic, capturing the vintage twang and growl characteristic of the late 50's Filter'Tron.  The tone is between a typical Fender (bright single-coil) \u0026amp; Gibson (darker \u0026amp; thick humbucker) with a unique growl when you dig in. Clean, compressed treble and mids breath life over a tight and controlled low-end, perfect for a baritone like this.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eOther features include an Adjust-O-Matic bridge with no base, a Cadillac G tailpiece, Grover 150 Imperial tuners, and clear pickup rings.  We especially love that last little touch, as it works perfectly with this guitar.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Baritone Penguin comes complete with a custom case, high-end El Dorado strap and Certificate of Authenticity.  The full list of specs is below.  Be sure to check out all of the photos to see everything, and zoom in to see the intricate detail.  It's truly a stunning guitar, and one you won't see anywhere else - because it's the only one ever built!  We consider ourselves lucky to be able to present this masterpiece.  Come to Truetone Music to experience it in person, or make it yours right here.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart #  9252004393\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSerial # UC23072504\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 8.7 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCOLOR: Oxblood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAGING TYPE: NOS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSCALE:  27\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNECK WOOD: Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFRETBOARD WOOD: Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFRETBOARD INLAY MATERIAL: Mother of Pearl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFRETBOARD INLAY STYLE: Engraved Humps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHEADSTOCK  PERIMETER: Penguin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHEADSTOCK LOGO: Vertical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHEADSTOCK LOGO MATERIAL: Silver Sparkle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHEADCAP MATERIAL: Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFRETS: Medium Jumbo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNECK BINDING: Silver Sparkle+.040BW   \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHEADCAP BINDING:: Silver Sparkle+.040BW+.040BLK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSIDE DOTS: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNECK SHAPE: Stock C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNUT: Bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBODY STYLE CENTER BLOCK: 55 Back Rout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTOP: Maple Ply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBACK:  Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBODY BINDING: Silver Sparkle Penguin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWIRING: Tone Pot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHARDWARE: Chrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTUNERS: 150 Imperials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNECK PICKUP: Magnatron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBRIDGE PICKUP: TV Classic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKNOBS: Jewel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBRIDGE: Adjust-o-matic NO BASE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTAILPIECE: Cadillac G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePICKGUARD ENGRAVING: Penguin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eADDITIONAL NOTES: Baritone 27 inch scale; Ernie Ball 2839 Baritone Slinky strings (13 - 72)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e.","brand":"Gretsch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43856584343795,"sku":"00GCS026","price":7000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/files\/1-DSCF3527.jpg?v=1741723792"},{"product_id":"gretsch-custom-shop-masterbuilt-1955-orange-penguin-nos-with-case","title":"Gretsch Custom Shop Masterbuilt G6134CS 1955 Orange Penguin NOS","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eGretsch Custom Shop Masterbuilt G6134CS 1955 Orange Penguin\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e IMPECCABLE CRAFTSMANSHIP\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\nThe Gretsch Custom Shop is where the time-honored legacy reaches its creative apex.

a pilgrimage there to sit down with the Masterbuilders to cook up a batch of Custom Shop guitars.  Sometimes we go for vintage-styled recreations, sometimes we go for modernized tweaks.  Sometimes it's a classic color, sometimes it's a totally new color or even reclaimed wood.  Either way, they always knock it out of the park!\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis G6134CS 1955 Penguin is a great example of this partnership.  We went to the Gretsch Custom Shop to put together a run of Penguins in various styles.  One we asked for was \"a classic with high class\".  The result was this Gretsch Orange Penguin, created by Masterbuilder Gonzalo Madrigal, which defines that perfectly - he absolutely nailed it.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eIn some ways, it will be familiar to any Gretsch fan or anyone that's familiar with the Penguin, one of the most iconic electric guitars of all time.  Where this one stands out (besides the amazing build quality, playability and sound, of course), is the color.  We asked for the maple top and headstock to be stained in \"Gretsch Orange\".  This color is instantly recognizable to any Gretsch enthusiast.  However, it's rarely seen on solid body models, and definitely not a Penguin.  That is exactly why we did it!  In fact, we believe this is the only Orange Penguin exactly like it out there at this time.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe guitar has a chambered mahogany body, reducing the weight.  We chose the NOS finish package, to give it a \"fresh off the line\" look - there is no aging on this one.  We couldn't bring ourselves to add any wear to something as beautiful as this!  The neck is rock-solid Mahogany with a very comfortable C shape, topped off with ebony fretboard, vintage frets, and Mother of Pearl engraved hump inlays.  The white binding on the body and neck helps the color \"pop\".  The Cadillac G tailpiece is a nice touch to complete the guitar.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eLoaded with vintage style Dynasonic pickups, and the classic Gretsch wiring setup, this Penguin gives you the legendary old-school Gretsch sound.   The Dynasonic is a proper single pickup, in that there is one bobbin and coil of copper wire.  It's wider because there's a thick Alnico 5 bar magnet to the side of the bobbin (instead of pole pieces like most single coil pickups).  This magnet magnetizes the steel spacer between itself and the bobbin, transferring it to a single row of adjustable pole pieces.  This is how a DynaSonic pickup gets its big, glassy tone, unique to itself.  It's that classic bright output that makes a vintage-style Gretsch a  favorite for gorgeous cleans, as well unruly higher-gain sounds.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eSimply put, this is an amazing guitar.  We weren't sure how it would turn out, but as we opened

that's not it, and it gets better.  The sides showcase a stunning black leather trim, intricately created and masterfully applied.  It's bordered by 3-ply reverse binding and purfling on the top.  To retain the old school Roundup aesthetic, the body has been branded with the \"G\" logo.  The headstock is rather impressive too, as it matches the body and has a mother of pearl script logo and Steerhead inlay.   As a bonus, the guitar includes a Gretsch Belt Buckle Tailpiece.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt has a super comfortable Mahogany neck

12\" radius complete this amazingly easy to play neck, and it's topped with Gotoh tuning machines.  As much as this guitar stands out as a statement piece, it's also meant to be played, and does it

late 50's.  You'll have the ability to produce gorgeous cleans, as well unruly higher-gain sounds.  For added versatility, this guitar has a tone knob with Treble Bleed Wiring, \"saving\" your tone.

From modern versions of legendary Gretsch instruments to artist tribute models and specially requested one-off guitars, the Gretsch Custom Shop takes “That Great Gretsch Sound” to an entirely new plane, but also preserves and perfects it.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eTruetone Music is proud to have a long and close relationship with Gretsch, especially with the Custom Shop and the legendary Stephen Stern.  As the founder and head Masterbuilder, Stern is responsible for the inception, growth and pinnacle status of the Gretsch Custom Shop.  Earlier this year, he announced his retirement, with only a few last guitars being finished as he rode off into the sunset.  This is one of them.  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eEvery year, a special collection of guitars is presented at an exclusive dealer event, with the ability to bid and win some of the most impressive guitars ever created in Gretsch's 140 year history.   If there ever was a guitar to score, this was it.  We are proud to present the G6130-CST Leather Roundup.  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA photo is worth a thousand words, and we have excellent photos - so we'll pause here to allow you to take it all in.  Be sure to check out all of the photos and to zoom in to really see the incredible detail on this guitar.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe guitar was crafted by one of the best in the history of guitar building, Stephen Stern, and it's one of the last he ever built for Gretsch.  In special partnership, he enlisted the services of the amazingly skilled leather artist, Dru Whitefeather, as well as the equally skilled artist Pamelina H.  Both have been frequent collaborators with the Fender and Gretsch Custom Shops over the years.  We've had guitars that each have worked on, but never one that all three have worked on!  Once Stern built the guitar, Whitefeather added the incredibly detailed and intricate leather work to the body.  After that, Pamelina painted the highlights on the leather.  Once all of the art was completed, Stern got the guitar back to finalize everything and put the finishing touches on.  Needless to say, the end result was incredible.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFeaturing a Closet Classic finish, the guitar has a mahogany body with a maple top.  It's a super comfortable \"C\" profile mahogany neck, topped with a Rosewood fingerboard and adorned with Western Motif inlays.  Red side dots add a nice touch.  As impressive as this guitar looks, and with the knowledge that it's a true collector's piece, this is a playable work of art - and it plays amazingly well.  Of course, it also sounds amazing, thanks to a pair of Seymour Duncan Soapbar P-90 pickups.  Smooth, warm tones arise, with a tight bottom end.   They have just as much of the added midrange heft and stringy top end that Gretsch fans crave. This is a great choice that Stern made for this guitar, and we quickly fell in love with the way it sounds.  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eAs a bonus, the guitar

included.  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAs a premier Gretsch Custom Shop dealer for many years, we've had a lot of amazing guitars come through Truetone.  This is one of the most interesting, and definitely the most special.  Not only is it one of the last Gretsch guitars ever built by Stephen Stern, but it also is a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration with both Dru Whitefeather and Pamelina H.  It's a truly unique piece, never to be created.  Come to Truetone Music to experience it in person, or make it yours right

No instruments epitomize the extraordinary expertise and attention to detail of Gretsch’s most trusted hands like ones built in the Custom Shop, right here in California. From modern versions of legendary Gretsch instruments to artist tribute models and specially requested one-off guitars, the Gretsch Custom Shop takes “That Great Gretsch Sound” to an entirely new plane, but also preserves and perfects it.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eTruetone Music is proud to have a long and close relationship with Gretsch, especially with the Custom Shop.  We work closely with the Masterbuilders to cook up a batch of guitars.  Sometimes we go for vintage-styled recreations, sometimes we go for modernized tweaks.  Sometimes it's a classic color, sometimes it's a totally new color or even reclaimed wood.  Either way, they always knock it out of the park!\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis G6134CS 1955 Penguin is a great example of this partnership.  We've had the Gretsch Custom Shop craft a run of Penguins in various styles, including this unbelievably cool Surf Paisley Penguin, created by Masterbuilder Gonzalo Madrigal.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eIn some ways, it will be familiar to any Gretsch fan or anyone that's familiar with the Penguin, one of the most iconic electric guitars of all time.  Where this one stands out (besides the amazing build quality, playability and sound, of course), is the finish.  We could describe it but pictures are worth a thousand words, so we'll pause now to let you check out the photos.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eNow that you've caught you're breath, you're probably thinking \"well, I've never seen that before\".  That is exactly why we did it!  It's truly unique and the only Penguin exactly like it out there at this time.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe guitar has a chambered mahogany body, reducing the weight.  We chose the NOS finish package, to give it a \"fresh off the line\" look - there is no aging on this one.  We couldn't bring ourselves to add any wear to something as beautiful as this!  The neck is rock-solid mahogany with a very comfortable C shape, topped off with ebony fretboard, vintage frets, and Mother of Pearl engraved hump inlays.  The silver sparkle binding on the body and neck is a standout feature.  The Bigsby tailpiece is a nice touch to complete the guitar, giving you another layer of expression to tap into.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eLoaded with vintage style Seymour Duncan DynaSonic pickups, and the classic Gretsch wiring setup, this Penguin gives you the legendary old-school Gretsch sound.   The DynaSonic is a proper single pickup, in that there is one bobbin and coil of copper wire.  It's wider because there's a thick Alnico 5 bar magnet to the side of the bobbin (instead of pole pieces like most single coil pickups).  This magnet magnetizes the steel spacer between itself and the bobbin, transferring it to a single row of adjustable pole pieces.  This is how a DynaSonic pickup gets its big, glassy tone, unique to itself.  It's that classic bright output that makes a vintage-style Gretsch a  favorite for gorgeous cleans, as well unruly higher-gain sounds.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA small but important piece of this guitar's one-of'-a-kind nature has to be pointed out: take a look at the pickguard, specficially the Gretsch logo and penguin.  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eSimply put, this is an amazing guitar.  We weren't sure how it would turn out, but as we opened the case, we knew we had a winner.  Once we plugged the guitar in, we knew it might be a Hall of Famer.  As a premier Gretsch Custom Shop dealer for many years, we've had a lot of amazing guitars come through Truetone.  This is one of the most stunning builds we've done, and perhaps one of best.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eWe love Gretsch Custom Shop Masterbuilt instruments here, and are thrilled to have this one.  It truly is a special guitar, unlike other Penguins seen.  Come to Truetone Music to experience it in person, or make it yours right here.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eModel No: 9252003854\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 name=\"Specifications\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"Color\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e Color: \u003c\/b\u003ePaisley Top With Surf Green Burst Back, Neck, \u0026amp;

Clean, compressed treble and mids breath life over a tight and controlled low-end.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe went with a brass rocking bar bridge.  A long time favorite among Gretsch players, it produces a smooth glassy tone with enhanced sustain.  The updated version of the classic Gretsch Bar bridge features cone shaped post holes allowing the bar to \"rock\" back and forth when a Bigsby Vibrato is used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther features include white binding, Gotoh tuners and bone nut.  The guitar comes complete with a beautiful Gretsch tweed case (only available with Custom Shop models), a proprietary El Dorado leather strap, and a Certificate of Authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eWe've done a lot of Custom Shop Duo Jets from the beginning, but this one really stands out as one of the best.  Come to Truetone Music to experience it in person, or make it yours right here.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMODEL #: 9252004395\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSERIAL # UC26074033\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWEIGHT: 8.2 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBASE MODEL: Duo Jet - 1959 Style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCOLOR: Black Holoflake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAGING TYPE: NOS (New Old Stock)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBODY: Chambered Mahogany, Single Cutaway\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTOP: Arched Laminated Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNECK WOOD: Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNECK SHAPE: Standard \"C\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFRETBOARD WOOD: Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFRETBOARD INLAY MATERIAL:  Mother Of Pearl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFRETBOARD INLAY STYLE:  Block\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFRETS: Vintage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNUT:  Bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTRUSS ADJUST: Headstock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHEADSTOCK LOGO: Rounded Horizontal Gretsch Logo\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBINDING: White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNECK PICKUP: TV Jones Classic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBRIDGE PICKUP: TV Jones Classic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWIRING: Master Vol, Neck Vol, Bridge Vol, P\/U Selector Switch and Tone Switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePICKGUARD ENGRAVING: Gretsch Logo on Colored Pickguard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePICKGUARD: Silver \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKNOBS: G Arrow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBRIDGE: Brass Rocking Bar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTAILPIECE: Gretsch Bigsby B3C Vibrato Tailpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTUNERS: Gotoh Vintage Style Tuners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHARDWARE: Chrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCASE: Gretsch Tweed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gretsch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67658246488307,"sku":"00GCS034","price":5800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/files\/1-Img52015.jpg?v=1791835880"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.truetonemusic.com\/collections\/gretsch-custom-shop-sold-out.oembed?page=2","provider":"Truetone Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
