Description from the seller
Gretsch Penguin (Prototype). World’s only one of its kind. Made in Paris by Frank Henry, the renowned luthier who has built guitars for Slash and Billy Gibbons. The project starts from an original 1990s Gretsch of exquisite craftsmanship. The body and neck have been custom-worked to create a beautiful vintage relic effect. The electronics are the best you can find on the market, wiring done to perfection. Fantastic TV Jones Super'Tron pickups, also those worked with an original Relic. 1950s Gold Gretsch Melita Synchrosonic Bridge. Groover Vintage relic tuners. Beautiful Hawaiian mother-of-pearl fret inlays. The pearl that makes the guitar even rarer: five synthetic diamonds have been inlaid in the guitar—one inside the mother-of-pearl fretboard inlay and four inside the knobs. Stunning sound. Relic-perfect condition. Three pickup positions with the additional possibility to mix the pickup volumes in the center position. The typical Gretsch twang. A rare, exclusive guitar, for true collectors only. Used in the video for the band “Bomba Molotov” (https://youtu.be/R04Ufma17fE)... in short: already a star ready for the stages or to shine in your living room! #LesInrocks
