Apparently Jack White from the White Stripes found a vintage white penguin that he used on their new album. I guess it's rumored to be worth something like $80,000. They are beautiful instruments.

Yeah, He was interviewed for some Mag and said he got it from Gruhn Guitars,$80,000 !
They have another one, it was Dan Fogelberg's
but it has stereo pickups on it and replacement tune-o-matic bridge, replacement Bigsby, replacement tuners.$80,000 !!

Hmmm; I thought I'd commented on this yesterday, but apparently it didn't post.
I thought that Fogelberg's was the $80K one. But Gruhn had TWO?

Yeah, Fogelberg's is still on there site,it could be gone of course, but it's still up there.
This is the one Jack bought,if indeed he paid $80,000 for it!
