The Limited Edition Paisley PenguinTM offers an elegant take on a classic Gretsch design. This Penguin features a chambered mahogany body with arched maple top that is gloriously adorned with a black edge burst finish over a black paisley and silver sparkle top. A pair of TV Jones TV Classic pickups provides cutting, twangy notes with a hint of growl similar to vintage late- 1950s Filter’Trons, making it ideal for distinctive rock ‘n’ roll licks, chiming country rhythms, and everything in between.
