Topic: CURIOUS AND NOSY AS I AM

Again a guitar question.
ABOUT GRETSCH (now Fender?)
They have a few pretty nice models, but I had never the opportunity to play a Gretsch, because I think there are no guitar stores here who distribute Gretsch.

I just wanted to have information about 2 of their guitars, both world famous.
- Gretsch WHITE FALCON.
- Gretsch WHITE PENGUIN.
The original white penguin is considered as the HOLY GRAIL of the guitars, having an out of proportion price, concerning the old and original guitars.
The WHITE PENGUIN is back on the market isn't it? BUT WHAT MADE IN PARTICULAR THE OLDER WHITE PENGUIN so special?
The penguin reissues are they very close to the original issue, do they sound different? What is so special about them: on purpose $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ prices, or justified.
