All I can say is wow!


Finished in elegant and hard-to-find Cadillac Green, this Stephen Stern masterpiece plays out of this world and has incredible tonal range. This is the guitar that once you pick up, you never want to put down.


The build quality, craftsmanship and level of detail in this instrument is impressive. The neck feels super comfortable.


I purchased this beauty new for my collection and played it only to test on arrival. I have stored it carefully in a humidity controlled environment. This is a rare, collectible and extremely hard to find Stephen Stern Masterbuilt instrument, especially in this condition.

Penguin double cuts are incredibly hard to find, especially in rare Cadillac Green finish.

The stunning Mother of Pearl Halfmoon Inlays on the ebony fingerboard exude elegance. Details include the Cadillac "G" style tailpiece, gold Grover Imperial tuners, TV Jones FilterTron style pickups, gold sparkle binding, vertical inlaid winged Gretsch logo on the headstock and rhinestone and white inlaid control knobs.


The Cadillac Green finish is out of this world.


This Stephen Stern beauty is lightweight, with perfect balance, and highly collectible.


The TV Jones Filtertron style pickups sound fantastic and have the vintage Gretsch tone. They can go from clean to dirty and play a wide range of musical styles.
