Comfortable Feel With Chambered Mahogany Body

Mahogany contributes a blend of warmth, punch and articulation. Combined with the arched top, the Penguin's body feels comfortable against your own. The slimmer depth at the forearm and belly cutouts allow your playing to flow freely. Whether practicing for hours or performing all night, you'll appreciate how comfortably the Penguin's body fits you.
Stunning Quilted Maple Top Brings Visual Appeal

Combined with the classic Penguin double-cutaway body shape, gold hardware and pearloid Neo-Classic inlays, the Gretsch G6134TGQM-59 Penguin has visual flair reminiscent of the golden age of electric guitars. Whether performing on stage or creating in the studio, the stunning aesthetics of this Gretsch will inspire you.
Custom TV Jones Pickups Produce Authentic Gretsch Tone
The Gretsch G6134TGQM-59 Penguin gets its distinctive voice from a pair of custom TV Jones Ray Butts Ful-Fidelity Filter'Tron pickups. The bridge pickup provides clear, articulate tone with plenty of twang and presence. Switch to the neck pickup for a smooth, round sound perfect for jazz and blues. With a simple flip of the 3-way toggle switch, you can blend both pickups together. The pickups faithfully reproduce the sought-after tone Gretsch guitars are revered for. You'll delight in the classic sounds as you pick and strum.
Bigsby B3GB Vibrato Tailpiece Adds Expressive Control
A Bigsby B3GB vibrato tailpiece is mounted on the Gretsch Penguin, providing pitch control for expressive playing. The smooth action of the Bigsby lets you add vibrato, chorus-like effects and swooping dips to your notes and chords. Whether emulating the signature sound of classic rockabilly or adding a touch of movement to a jazz standard, the Bigsby expands your creative options. The rock-solid tuning stability ensures chords ring true even when using the vibrato effect.
