Gretsch Limited Edition G6134TGQM-59 Quilt Classic Penguin with Bigsby Forge Glow

Gretsch Quilt Classics are stylish renditions of classic vintage models, reborn with stunning highly figured quilt maple.  Limited as a one-time run, these are instantly collectible.  A beautiful take on a classic guitar, this G6134TGQM-59 Penguin is something to behold.

The guitar features a stunning quilt maple top on a mahogany body, and features a nitrocellulose lacquer finish.  The "U" shaped mahogany neck is super comfortable, topped with an ebony fretboard that has a 12" radius and medium jumbo frets, making it quite easy to play.  

That, together with the Bigsby B3C vibrato, Ray Butts Full Fidelity pickups and the classic wiring set up, gives you the legendary old-school Gretsch sound and feel, with a twist.   Usually only seen on a Custom Shop guitar, these pickups provide what many feel is the most authentic sounding output.  You get the full clarity and bite expected from Filtertons, and you can ease up without losing highs.

A sophisticated rendition of the original masterpiece, the G6134TQM-59 Limited Quilt Classic Penguin combines opulent aesthetics with period-accurate features and appointments from the golden age of electric guitars. Satisfying eyes and ears with its golden tones and gleaming looks, this rare bird comes alive in the player's hands, singing with its distinctive voice at every strum.
