The Gretsch Custom Shop Masterbuilt Penguin G6134 in Silver Sparkle is a stunning example of Gretsch craftsmanship, combining the unmistakable elegance of the iconic Penguin with the exceptional attention to detail of master builder Stephen Stern. Its striking Silver Sparkle Drum Wrap top, contrasted by a black back, neck, and sides, creates a bold, vintage-inspired aesthetic, while the relic finish adds character and the look of a well-loved classic.

Built with a maple ply top and mahogany back and sides, this solid-body Penguin delivers the distinctive presence and resonance expected from a Gretsch Custom Shop instrument. The mahogany neck features a comfortable Stock “C” profile, an ebony fingerboard with mother-of-pearl engraved hump inlays, and silver sparkle binding. A bone nut, vintage frets, and black side dots complete the refined, player-focused design.

Tonally, this Penguin is equipped with a pair of Seymour Duncan Dyna-Sonic pickups, delivering the articulate, dynamic response and unmistakable character that make these pickups so desirable. The straightforward control layout includes a tone pot with treble bleed, while the Synchro-Sonic bridge and Cadillac “G” tailpiece provide a distinctive combination of classic Gretsch style and reliable performance.

From the silver sparkle headstock with vertical Gretsch logo and wings to the jewel knobs and engraved black pickguard featuring a vintage silver Penguin and Gretsch logo, every detail has been carefully considered. Grover Imperial tuners and chrome hardware complete the look, and the instrument weighs 8 lbs 10 oz. This masterbuilt Penguin is a remarkable blend of vintage-inspired design, premium appointments, and Gretsch’s unmistakable personality.
