Gretsch Custom Shop Stephen Stern Masterbuilt ’57 Penguin – Black Paisley Relic

When you play a Stephen Stern Masterbuilt Gretsch you are getting a true custom shop guitar experience. This '57 Penguin in Blackburst over Silver Paisley Sparkle is elegantly crafted down to the last detail. Stephen's relic work gives this Penguin a broken in vintage feel. Outfitted with Dynasonic pickups, the tone is balanced with a sweet high end, a healthy midrange, and strong low end. It sounds full and clear like a more robust telecaster. With Gold Grover Tuners, Mother of Pearl Hump Block inlays, and the classic Gretsch Cadillac Tailpiece, this guitar looks as beautiful as it sounds. Drop us a line or come check it out in store to see for yourself how a true master builder can elevate a timeless design.
