Experience the Falcon as it was envisioned by the great Jimmie Webster in 1955. The G6136T-55GE Vintage Select Edition 1955 White Falcon with Cadillac Tailpiece is a true “Dream Guitar” that will be the hallmark of any guitar collection. Fluid playability, robustly flexible tone and, of course, stunning Falcon style combine for a big, bold instrument that pops in the spotlight.
A pair of TV Jones® T-Armond single-coil pickups and the new Gretsch “Squeezebox” paper-in-oil capacitors power this sonic raptor for crystal-clear transparent tone that lets the soul of the guitar’s definitive hollowbody tone shine through. The Synchro-Sonic™ bridge not only lends original-era authenticity, it offers pinpoint intonation accuracy, locking into place with a thumbscrew for tool-free adjustment. Parallel tone bars reinforce the solid spruce top mated to laminated maple back and sides for powerful, balanced sound and increased projection from the 2.75”-deep body. The 12”-radius ebony fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and elegant mother-of-pearl hump block and feather inlays tops a maple neck with a comfortably familiar standard “U”-shaped profile for supple playability, making complex chords and intricate single-note playing effortless.
The White Falcon drips with sophisticated class, sporting shining gold hardware-including the iconic Cadillac “G” tailpiece and gold jeweled arrow knobs-gold sparkle bound neck, body and F Holes, gleaming vintage white gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish and gold, vintage thick plexi pickguard with Gretsch logo. The iconic G6136T-55GE White Falcon “Vintage Select” is the quintessential “Holy Grail” guitar. Includes a deluxe hardshell case.

Joe C is a treasure, he has been with Gretsch for so long, he knows the history of the firm from back to front. He is also passionate about what he sells.

Buy one: this earthly life-cycle, this slice of multiverse… if it’s your dream guitar: get it. Don’t wait for retirement or winning the lottery. Ignore friends, gf, family who don’t understand. Yes it’s a lot of money. Just don’t let interest rates make you pay double. It’s a “once in a lifetime” guitar.

This is the best version available today without going custom. The spruce top and Dynasonics is the best recipe. You can play it sitting on your couch and still get a great sound without an amp. One issue might be that they feed back a lot because they are so resonant....so maybe not so great for metal and hard rock. But for everything else they are the best tool for the job.

I've always wanted to hear some more blusier tones from Gretsch guitars. I've just wanted something with a little more meat on the bones as it were when it comes to gretsch tones and this gem has some great tones especially coming from Greg. This definitely makes me want to check out some Gretsch guitars next chance i get.

Are these pickups better than the High Sensitive Filter-trons? Arent these Tv Jones single could little bit too sharp / bright?

@johnnyandhiswolves 2 жыл бұрын

I love Dynasonics. They’re a little clearer and twangier than a Filtertron. But neither is better, they both have a good specific place to fit.

@Oldpigsass 3 жыл бұрын

For some reason nobody makes a thin line 330/Casino-style with a spruce top. Not Gibson, Guild, Gretsch or anyone.The whole idea of a hollowbody is to get the top to vibrate, so why make them from maple like a centre block 335?

Joe Rozmanassa Yes, Greg seems to have rebounded somewhat from his substantial weight loss. Such a tough battle. I hope he gets right back on his program.
