The Gretsch White Penguin 58 Reissue, officially model G6134, re-creates the 1958 Bigsby-equipped version of the Jet-based Penguin. The White Penguin was created in response to the Gretsch White Falcon, itself created as a showpiece for the 1954 NAMM show and not intended for production.

Gretsch 57 Duo Jet VS Bigsby Cadillac Green, 2000

On May 23, 2023 /

The Gretsch 57 Duo Jet VS (Vintage Select) with Bigsby sports a Cadillac Green finish and gold plated hardware, reflecting 1957 design choices. Dating to March of 2000, this Gretsch 57 Duo Jet is in great shape with very little actual wear. There is slight oxidization in wear areas of the plating – particularly the arm rest and Bigsby handle, but virtually no fret wear.

Gibson Memphis ES-335 Custom with Bigsby Sunburst, 2009

On May 3, 2023 /

Dating to April 23 2009, this Gibson Memphis ES-335 Custom features beautifully flamed Maple and a factory installed Bigsby B7. I think this is one of the best looking 335’s I’ve seen for some time, and the dual-roller Bigsby is far enough back from the bridge to provide a relatively shallow break angle. This shallow angle really improves the smoothness of both arm movement and return to pitch.

⚌Reduced‼ Gretsch G6129 Silver Sparkle Jet, 1989

On April 22, 2023 /

Always tasteful and visually restrained, the Gretsch G6129 Silver Sparkle Jet first appeared in 1954 as an answer to the Les Paul model. While there are some immediately apparent visual similarities – the single cutaway body of Mahogany with a Maple cap – underneath there were significant differences. From 1954, the original Gretsch Jet models started with a Maple body, routed to provide a number of chambers for resonance and weight relief.

Yamaha Revstar RS720B with Bigsby Sunburst, 2021

On April 10, 2023 /

From its launch in 2015, the Yamaha Revstar line has included a number of high quality instruments that don’t quite look like anything else. The model seen here, a Yamaha Revstar RS720B (the B specifies a Bigsby B50 and Tune-O-Matic bridge), seems to have been dropped from the 2022 lineup but appeared in the 2018 USA Yamaha Guitars catalog.

Gibson SG Deluxe Cobalt Fade, 2013

On April 7, 2023 /

Over the years, there have been a few guitars with the Gibson SG Deluxe name, but this one from 2013 is perhaps the most genuinely Deluxe. Sporting a flamed Maple top on a Mahogany body, a Mahogany neck with bound headstock and bound Indian Rosewood fingerboard and split-diamond inlays, the 2013 Gibson SG Deluxe also featured three ’57 Classic pickups with some new wiring.
