Features
A pair of TV Jones T-Armond single-coil pickups and the new Gretsch ‘Squeezebox’ capacitors power this sonic raptor for a crystal-clear transparent tone that lets the soul of the guitar's definitive hollow body 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 laminated maple body with the solid spruce top mated to the laminated maple back and sides for powerful, balanced sound and increased projection from the 2.75-inch-deep body. The 12-inch-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 G6136-55 Vintage Select Edition '55 Falcon Hollow Body with Cadillac Tailpiece is the quintessential ‘Holy Grail’ guitar. Includes a deluxe hardshell case.
