Gretsch G5021E Rancher Penguin Black

The Gretsch G5021E Rancher Penguin Black impresses with its 50's Vintage-Style and its midrange-rich sound, which is excellent for fine Pickings. In addition, a flat neck with standard "U" profile promises comfortable fingering in all 20 frets. The "Penguin" is completed by a high-quality pickup system that can pass on the acoustic sound unaltered and directly to an amplifier.

Construction and woods

In order to produce strong mid-treble frequencies, the construction consists of a solid spruce top on a laminated maple body. Thus, the individual tones unfold clearly and defined, which is not least due to the X-bracing of the top and the thin high-gloss finish. At the same time, the mahogany neck convinces with its easy playability, as its rosewood fingerboard has a slim nut width of 42.5 mm.

Hardware and design

Thanks to a synthetic bone bridge inlay perfectly matched to the nut, the G5021WPE acoustic guitar intonates very precisely over the entire scale length of 635 mm. In addition, gold die-cast tuners allow precise tuning of the 6 steel strings, which end in a rosewood bridge. For an individual appearance in the 50's look, gold Sparkle bindings on the body and neck perfectly match the generous Gretsch headstock. The guitar's namesake and highlight is undoubtedly the gold Plexi pickguard with penguin graphics, which ensures a unique recognition value.

Electronics

To ensure that the Gretsch G5021E Rancher Penguin Black acoustic guitar can be used in an amplified way, the manufacturer installs a high-quality Fishman Isys III pickup system, which features a user-friendly side preamp. This in turn is equipped with a 3-band equalizer for individual adjustment of the output signal. An integrated tuner with LED display perfectly rounds out the entire work in its functionality.
