Gretsch Guitars Penguin Acoustic Acoustic Collection LRL White

An Iconic "Penguin" Design, Adapted to a Parlor Acoustic

With the Rancher Penguin Parlor, Gretsch transfers the bold aesthetic of the "Penguin" family into a compact format electro-acoustic guitar. Between the Gold Sparkle binding, the gold hardware, and the gold plexiglass pickguard featuring the Penguin graphic, this guitar boasts a premium and immediately recognizable look, while remaining a true playing acoustic, ready to be plugged in.

For Whom and Which Styles?

This G5021E is aimed at serious beginner to intermediate guitarists who want an easy-to-handle electro-acoustic, as well as stage musicians looking for a compact and stylish guitar for accompaniment. Its parlor format and balance make it very enjoyable for pop, folk, country, chanson, and picking, while remaining effective for precise strumming.

Sound

The solid spruce top provides definition and great responsiveness to attack, highlighting playing nuances from pick to arpeggios. The laminate maple back and sides promote a clear tone, with a crisp attack and articulate highs, ideal for standing out in a mix. The X-bracing contributes to projection and overall balance. Once plugged in, the Fishman Presys III electronics allow quick tone shaping via the 3-band EQ, while maintaining simple and effective control for live use.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

This guitar comes factory-equipped with D'Addario EJ16 12-53 strings: you can keep this gauge to maintain the comfort/power balance. For transport, the manufacturer recommends compatible references: gig bag 0996489000 and hard case 0996495000 (optional).
