A new addition to my guitar family. The Gretsch White Penguin - sometimes called (by Gretsch in their propaganda anyway) the 'Holy Grail' of electric guitars. Well it is rare and beautiful. I've never seen one in the flesh before last Saturday when this little beauty was delivered. Got it from Nigel at the Guitar Shop at Paddington in Brisbane. Great place. Go there if you're in town.
The Penguin is pictured here in my lounge room keeping company with its big brother the White Falcon. I think it will sound very fine played through a new VASE Trendsetter 60.
