NGD - Gretsch No.2

BloodEagle

So, I got a Country Club a couple of weeks ago and was so taken with it I fancied another Gretsch so here is something you may have seen in one of Brizes recent, various and staggeringly impressive 'for sale' threads -
Its a Gretsch Penguin in 'Midnight Sapphire' finish, which you may notice is a very dark subtly metallic blue - it looks pretty much black in a lot of lights. Plays great, really like the TV Jones Classics in this, really pleased. Would like a Black Falcon now (yes, I know I just missed a really nice one) and Im done.

Amazing. Congratulations!

By far and away the guitar that garnered the most interest. I'm sad to part with it but glad it's gone to a good home.

My wife noticd the penguin on the pickguard and told her it was a cross-brand collaboration between Gretsch and McVities

You can see why Gretsch were considered the Cadillac of the guitar world.

That sapphire blue Penguin looks amazing. Mordaunt Short speakers too? Nice. If you decide that green Country Club isn't for you, I've got a double cut 2015 Gretsch G6134TDC-LTD15 Jade Penguin you might like. Cheers.

Gretsch's were described to me as "pretty guitars".

Seems fitting.

That level of bling on a Fender is wrong, but on a Gretsch it just works. Lovely guitar.
