Topic: NGD pending

It should be here on Friday. This time it is a Gretsch White Penguin.  When retirement comes, I will probably be doing this less and less. If I am going to cut down, I may as well do it in style.

You need a white tuxedo just to play that, don't you?

Re: NGD pending

I'd never heard of White Penguin but what a stunner that is. If I owned that I'd wrap up work anyway and just play all day.

Re: NGD pending

Here you go ... JJJ!

That's a sweet looking axe ... Happy NGD. I've often coveted a Gretsch Duo-Jet, which has the same electronics plus a Bigsby, but isn't quite as flashy.

Re: NGD pending

TF-- thanx for posting the picture.  Scott-- the body is chambered. Not hollow. Not quite solid.  Everyone-- Thanx for all the compliments.  7 more weeks, I will have time to work on and play all these toys. For what it`s worth-- this plays like a dream. Just have to get used to playing electric again.
