Personal Thoughts:
This is a seriously cool Falcon and a very collectible limited run. The Falcon is already one of Gretsch’s most iconic models, but this Creme de Marine finish makes it feel even more special. It is a very pale blue-green tone that gives the guitar a softer, more elegant look than the usual white Falcon, while still keeping all the drama and presence that makes the model so recognisable. The fact it is one of only 80 made gives it even more appeal, and that sort of rarity always matters on an FSR Gretsch of this quality. I also like that the spec keeps all the classic late-’50s Falcon traits intact — trestle bracing, oversized bound f-holes, gold sparkle trim, Bigsby and High Sensitive Filter’Trons. That means it is not just a rare colour, it is still a proper Falcon through and through. A very classy, very distinctive and very collectible Gretsch.

Condition Report:
Excellent condition. The only blemishes are to the neck binding, otherwise it presents very cleanly overall. Supplied with its original hardcase and paperwork.
