The Vintage White nitro finish, gold sparkle binding, ornate inlays, jeweled knobs and Cadillac tailpiece give it an unmistakably extravagant presence without losing the elegance that made the early Falcons so iconic.The pickup choice is a major part of the appeal. The TV Jones T-Armond single-coils give the guitar a clearer, more open and articulate voice than a conventional Filter’Tron-equipped Falcon, allowing more of the natural hollowbody character to come through. There is plenty of sparkle and definition on cleaner settings, but also enough body and punch for more driven rockabilly, blues and roots-oriented tones.The construction is equally traditional, with a solid spruce top, laminated maple back and sides and parallel tone-bar bracing. The 2.75" body depth gives it a substantial acoustic response, while the Synchro-Sonic bridge and Cadillac tailpiece keep the specification firmly rooted in the mid-’50s.The Standard U neck, 12" ebony board and medium-jumbo frets make it far easier to live with than its vintage styling might suggest. A genuinely special Japanese-built Falcon that combines period-correct aesthetics, premium materials and a very distinctive single-coil voice.Condition Report:Excellent condition. Presents very cleanly overall with only light signs of careful use. No significant wear or damage to mention, with the Vintage White nitro finish, gold hardware and ebony fingerboard all remaining in excellent shape. Supplied with its deluxe Gretsch hardshell case and associated documentation.Part Exchange Welcome:Part exchange welcome, video demos are available via our YouTube channel at Squealing Pig Guitars, personal consignment service available via our site at 10% rate.
