Great set up! So sparkly/flashy. Love the fingernail markers and the gold binding. Rolled, smooth fret ends. Tuners are a little loose, nothing a little screwdriver can’t fix. About an inch wider in the bough than my Art & Luthier Roadhouse. The glossy finish takes away from the low end. The high end much less twangy than A&L Roadhouse and Recording KingDirty 30. superb sound even with less boom. Tight craftsmanship. Quality instrument. On board tuner works great. Can’t wait to plug it in. My fifth parlor guitar purchase. Fender, Taylor, A&L, Recording King. Overall, LOVE the feel of the fretboard, okay resonance, best craftsmanship. Prefer the satin finish guitars for resonance/boom.

Came with a usable setup right out of the box. No issues anywhere up and down the fretboard. Color and Gretsch cosmetic elements are great. Fishman electronics are excellent. For what this guitar wants to be, which is an everyday, pick up and play guitar with the onboard electronics to do a bit more if you want to, it's easily 5 stars.

I don't personally know anything about guitars. Was a gift for my girlfriend who has owned a few guitars ,but couldn't bring them with her when she moved in. This has been by far her favorite guitar. Note: purchased when was on sale

Small package, big sound.

Surely one of the most fabulous Gretsch birds ever to take flight, the G5021E Limited Edition Rancher Penguin Parlor delivers classic Penguin style and appointments in a richly resonant parlor-size acoustic guitar. The Fishman Presys III pickup/preamp system provides a modern sonic complement to classic touches including a solid spruce top with maple back and sides, silver sparkle neck and body binding, Neo-Classic thumbnail fingerboard inlays, a silver plexi pickguard, "vertical wing" Gretsch headstock logo and more. This limited edition guitar is finished in a majestic Casino Gold finish with chrome hardware.
