New family arrival Gretsch White Penguin
Just got the White Penguin today, needs some flatwounds and a setup.
White Falcon has a supertron, classic plus TVJ, V style Bigsby jand a Compton Titanium bridge
I love Gretsch, it just the bees knees as far as I am concerned

Thanks got the setup done and put some Thomas infield flats on her. Dynasonic and flats are a nice sounding combo

How are you keeping those guitars upright for the photo?
Love your choice of pickups in the Falcon. Congrats on the Penguin.

That's a great duo. With the different pickups you pretty much cover the range. Now you need something white with HiLos.
The Super/TV Classic combo is my favorite.

We hear and use the term "dream guitar" a lot. You seem to earned the term not once but twice. Just an incredible looking photo. Congrats!

If buying guitars is considered self destructive behavior then enable away!
