    The Rarest of Birds, Dressed to Impress

    Behold the Gretsch Limited Edition Champagne Sparkle Penguin, an instrument that doesn't just make music—it makes a statement. This rare bird combines classic Gretsch style with an elegance that’s simply intoxicating. Its chambered mahogany body and arched maple top are dressed in a dazzling, exclusive Champagne Sparkle finish, guaranteed to catch every eye and every spotlight. It's not just a guitar; it's a centerpiece.

    Gretsch LE Champagne Sparkle Penguin Guitar

    The magic, however, goes far beyond its stunning looks. Underneath that brilliant sparkle lies a tonal powerhouse. We equipped this Penguin with a dynamic duo of TV Jones pickups—a TV Classic Plus in the bridge and a TV Classic in the neck. This combination delivers that legendary Gretsch sound with remarkable clarity and punch. From shimmering cleans and snappy twang to a ferocious, snarling growl, these Filter'Tron pickups give you the power to slice through any mix, making this guitar your secret weapon for everything from rockabilly to rock and beyond.

    Every detail of this instrument is crafted for superior performance. The comfortable Standard "U" mahogany neck is topped with a 12-inch radius ebony fingerboard, featuring mother-of-pearl thumbnail inlays and Luminlay side dots for effortless navigation in any lighting. The Bigsby B3GP String-Thru tailpiece and Grover Imperial locking tuners provide rock-solid tuning stability and expressive vibrato, while the Adjusto-Matic bridge ensures perfect intonation. And to protect this precious jewel, we've included a Gretsch deluxe hardshell case, ensuring your Penguin arrives to every gig safe, sound, and ready to fly.
