Jesus Culture guitarist Jeffrey Kunde kicked off the first-ever installment of Gretsch Tone Tuesday with a slick demo of the new G6134T-LTD Limited Edition Penguin.
“Over the next few weeks we will be featuring some really sweet [Gretsch] guitars starting with this one!” said Kunde. “I call it the purple Penguin because it’s this cool metallic purple color. This guitar is amazing.”
The G6134T-LTD’s gets its shimmering tone from dual TV Jones® TV Classic humbuckers that sound right at home in classic rock ‘n’ roll riffs, snappy country rhythms and rockabilly runs.
“It’s a nice tight sound you’d expect from a Duo Jet-style guitar,” said Kunde playing through a bluesy number on the G6134T-LTD. “I find this guitar’s high end to be slightly more round than my other Duo Jets. It’s got a great full-bodied tone.”
Kunde knew he had to get his hands on the radiant G6134T-LTD the second he set eyes on the instrument.
“I saw this guitar this year at NAMM in January in Los Angeles and had to pick one up!” said Kunde.
