This is not a Japanese made guitar this was made at the Gretsch American USA custom shop. This is a replica of a transition model. The guitar has Bigsby & Filtertrons but has engraved hump blocks & vertical logo. Originally, in the 1950s, when the Penguin was equipped with filtertrons it usually got neo classic thumb print fret markers & a horizontal logo. This guitar is near mint. No marks or play wear. there is a slight fade to the gold parts. It has NOT been reliced. 100% original. Back of headstock signed by Stephen Stern 1 of 1. Dated 3-15-12. This guitar is great player & sounds great too! Just a fantastic collectable guitar. Comes with all tags. dust cloth & key chain in original case. I have lowered the price to my rock bottom today 4/10. At this time I have turned off offers because I wouldn't take less. Shipping is high because reverb charges protection based on guitar price so the higher priced the guitar the higher the shipping cost is.
Looking for an early
1980’s Gibson Grabber Bass in metallic red
