As part of their Professional Collection, Gretsch® have released an exciting and innovative version of the iconic Gretsch Falcon . . . the G6139 Falcon Center-Block Single Cutaway Electric Guitar. This is a superb Guitar featuring a beautiful 1 ¾”-deep single-cutaway three-ply maple body with a 16”-lower bout, arched top and back, multi-ply sparkle appointments, oversized bound F Holes and a pair of High Sensitive Filter’Tron™ humbucking pickups. This is the Gretsch that everyone else has been waiting for!
While Gretsch Falcons are far from being “one trick ponies”, they aren’t generally the first guitar you would reach for in a high gain situation. Everything has changed and this is why…
The centerpiece of this superb G6139 Falcon Center-Block Single Cutaway is a long spruce Center-Block which runs the entire length of the body, imparting several sonic advantages:
- First – it minimises body-resonant feedback making this a “high gain-friendly” Falcon.
- Second – it’s made of Spruce, which produces a spirited, lively tone.
- Third – the Center-Block itself is chambered at the lower bout, minimizing weight.
- Fourth – the pinned wood bridge base extends approximately 5/8″ over the sides of the Center-Block, transferring string energy to the two F Hole-vented body chambers for full-bodied tone.
Other premium features include a three-piece maple neck, 12”-radius ebony fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets, pearloid Neo-Classic™ “thumbnail” inlays and multi-ply sparkle appointments including a Gretsch “winged/vertical” sparkle logo headstock.
This Gretsch White Falcon also has jeweled-arrow knobs and gold plated hardware, an Adjusto-Matic™ bridge with pinned ebony base, a Cadillac® “G” tailpiece, Grover® Imperial™ tuners and Schaller® strap locks.
As one would expect with a guitar of this calibre, the Gretsch G6139CB White Falcon™ Center-Block Single Cutaway Electric Guitar includes a deluxe Gretsch hardshell case.
