With his longevity , continued excellence and influence with Hillsong Worship , it is absolutely exciting that we finally get a signature guitar with the man who has helped get Gretsch guitars into the hands of many worship guitarists around the world .
The Gretsch G6134TFM-NH NIGEL HENDROFF SIGNATURE PENGUIN is one of the most unique creations in Gretsch ’ s signature line and it is everything Nigel has loved about his past guitars over the years combined into this stunning creation . It is modern and simple , and it removes anything unnecessary for the modern player .
If there ’ s anything to learn about Nigel ’ s guitar playing , it ’ s that his style and sound of the guitar blends a multitude of genres and tones , and he needs a guitar that is comfortable and can sound versatile playing live and in the studio . Whether he ’ s playing chimey triads in worship , or he ’ s playing jazzy lines for Christmas spectacular productions , rock tones with a lot of gain and face melting solos , the Gretsch Nigel Hendroff Signature Penguin absolutely delivers what Nigel plays .
Featuring a set of Broadtron BT-65 pickups designed by legendary pickup designer Tim Shaw , these pickups give you a darker , warm but classic chime that you would expect from a Gretsch Filtertron , but a higher output . Delivering more pronounced midrange and punch that you would get from a classic PAF type humbucker . This gives you the ability to play with lots of overdrive with a tightness and output that you don ’ t usually get from a standard Filtertron … thus making this guitar versatile and wide in its sonic spectrum . The pickups have lots of clarity , balance and are touch sensitive which work so great with its single volume and tone control . This guitar really lets your tone come through your hands .
