A "1958" Penguin: The Golden Age of Gretsch Revisited in Vintage Select

Inspired by Gretsch's pivotal years in the 1950s and early 1960s, the Vintage Select Edition series targets guitarists seeking authenticity in look, feel, and tonal character. This G6134T-58 Vintage Select '58 Penguin captures the spirit of the 1958 evolution, when the Penguin was paired with a set of Filter'Tron-style pickups, which became an essential sonic signature in the Gretsch universe.

Who Is This Gretsch Penguin For?

This Gretsch is aimed at the intermediate to advanced musician who wants a guitar with character, equally at home in rock'n'roll, rockabilly, blues, country, as well as in more modern styles requiring definition and dynamics. Its ergonomics, short scale, and Bigsby vibrato make it an excellent partner for expressive playing, rich chords, and singing leads.

The Sound

The TV Jones Filter'Tron Classic duo (neck and bridge) delivers that iconic Gretsch sound: precise attack, chiseled highs, firm lows, and excellent chord clarity even with saturation. The chambered mahogany construction adds extra resonance and a "living" instrument feel, with beautiful articulation and marked harmonic richness. The 3-position selector switch allows you to move from a snappy twang at the bridge to rounder, smoother tones at the neck, while the 3-position tone switch facilitates quick tonal color changes during playing.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

The guitar comes with a Gretsch G6238XL Gretsch Solid Body Hardshell Case (ref. 099-6504-000), perfectly suited for transport and storage. It is factory strung with .010-.046 strings: you can keep this gauge to maintain the balance of comfort, tuning stability, and Bigsby response.
