Up for sale, a 1972 Gretsch White Falcon Stereo 7595 in exceptional condition and in perfect working order. This rare Baldwin-era White Falcon was at the top of Gretsch's range, with premium including a tuning fork bridge, T Zone tempered treble frets, dual string mutes, and stereo functionality (separating the bass and treble strings).

Tone woods include a fully hollow thin-line maple body, maple neck, and bound ebony

fingerboard, with a lower bout width of 17" and a body depth of 2". The Filter'Tron pickups have notable clarity, sparkle, and muscle; the neck position is thick and silky, with cutting growl and punch at the bridge. This 7595 is notable for its split stereo pickups (bass/treble), with independent three-way tone selector switches for each, yielding a remarkably wide array of tonal combinations, especially if two amps are used in stereo. This White Falcon weighs 8lbs 9oz, professionally setup and re-fretted by local luthier here in Albuquerque New Mexico, for moderate string action, and accurate intonation.

Outfitted to appear closer to a White Falcon from the early '60s, this guitar features a premium set of genuine vintage Grover Imperials that considerably predate the guitar, along with a more conventional replacement Bigsby arm on the original Bigsby base (eschewing the "Chet" Bigsby arm otherwise used on this model). The gold-plated hardware shows very restrained surface patina, and the bridge position Filter'Tron pickup cover is blank, ostensibly a replacement cover.The "hand-polished" White finish exhibits a bit of scuffing adjacent to the feet of the ebony bridge base, light wear on the body perimeter, and a few small dings and scratches on the body as a whole consistent with decades of careful usage.

Original tremolo arm was replaced with the Chet Atkins wire tremolo arm but is included with the guitar. The neck profile retains its smooth gloss, and the veneer on the headstock face shows some splitting, all stable and glued flush with the headstock face.Additionally there are two extra bridges for converting / eliminating the tuning fork, should you wish to do so. 

A vintage (non-original) Gretsch hardshell case is included.
