Gretsch G5434T-LTD Electromatic Pro Jet Limited Edition WG

Allmänt

White penguins are rare, also in the guitar world. The original Gretsch White Penguin from the '50s is one of the world's most coveted guitars. It's almost impossible to get your hands on one and even if you do, you can expect to pay tens of thousands of pounds for it. The Gretsch G5434T-LTD Electromatic Pro Jet Limited Edition costs just a fraction of that, yet still has that "Great Gretsch Sound" and even a few cosmetic additions of its own compared to the original.

Gretsch G5434T-LTD Electromatic Pro Jet Limited Edition

The Gretsch G5434T-LTD Electromatic Pro Jet Limited Edition has an arched maple top with a white high-gloss finish, and features gold-plated hardware including a Bigsby Licensed B50G vibrato tailpiece. The tuners are gold-plated and the pickguard is also gold-coloured, just like those of the original White Penguin. The pearloid, Gretsch hump-block inlays on the rosewood fretboard add to the exotic charm of this basswood guitar.

Black Top FilterTron pickups

This strikingly handsome solid-body produces that typical Gretsch sound thanks to the Black Top FilterTron pickups, and is comfortable to play too The single cutaway ensures that even the highest of the 22 jumbo frets on the neck are easy to access. The guitar is fitted with an Adjusto-Matic bridge and has gold-coloured G-arrow knobs for volume, tone and master volume. The 3-way pickup switch can be found near the neck.
