My dear friend who is an awesome guitar player and guitar tech Lucas La Spina give our thoughts on the Gretsch Nigel Hendroff Signature Penguin after playing the first two prototype models earlier this year thanks to Nigel letting us give some feedback on them! Needless to say, it is such a FANTASTIC guitar!

what roller bridge did you use? TonePros Nashville?

Got one two weeks ago. Tuning is not "micky mouse". Seems they have not fixed the issues over 12 months later

Did you find a way to resolve it yourself?

Hey gents, is the “v2” you are playing a prototype? Did they address the tuning issue?

will TonePros TP6R N Tune-O-Matic Roller fit without drilling?

@cliffrhodenizerjr.1333 4 ай бұрын

I'm wondering what Gretsch did in response to those tuning complaints. I see it still comes with the original Tune-O-Matic bridge. When you are already pricing it over $3000, why not go with the roller bridge and nylon washers to make everything right? During the playout at the end, I could hear the guitar on the left going out of tune again. I was seriously considering getting one myself, but after spending that much I would still have to spend more to replace the bridge and mod the bigsby myself. Has anyone with this guitar found it to have the same problems?

Hey Jemmuel, Love your channel! I see Gretsch didn't go with the roller saddles on the bridge. Do you know if they fixed the tuning issues in some other way? Do you know what roller bridge he put on Nigel's guitars? Thanks heaps 😃

@JemmyJems Жыл бұрын

@@carbivore I think it was the placement of the bridge, the filing of the nut and now every guitar is getting hand checked before leaving the factory. I played the production models and those are what i could see and tell.

@@JemmyJems I have several Fenders; vintage & modern, US & MiJ. Only the vintage MiJ Fenders are constructed better. Having said that, I prefer the tones from US made pickups, single & HB.
