The Story

Custom Shop Masterbuilt Stephen Stern '57 Penguin Electric Guitar Vintage White

Every time we think we've seen it all, another mind blowing Gretsch comes through the door and exceeds our expectations. This Custom Shop '57 Penguin in a super classy Vintage White finish did exactly that. Masterbuilt by Stephen Stern, this guitar bears all the trappings of a classic '57 Penguin including a laminated maple top, gold-plated Grover Tuners, and the hallmark "G" tailpiece. Stern added in an NOS finish to give the whole package a bit more of a "played-in" look and feel, despite it being a brand new instrument.

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity and Paperwork
