Gretsch Guitars is a brand known for their hollow-bodied guitars with vintage 1950s styling and tone. Sound and looks of the rockabilly era are the main design and construction hallmarks.
The G7593 White Falcon is an impressive guitar, one of the finest in the entire catalogue. It is fully hollow, single cut and made completely of laminated maple. Maple neck completes the construction. It is set in and equipped with a standard contour in the back.
All-maple construction forms the base for the traditional Gretsch sound and in combination with Filtertron pickups, it delivers brilliantly.
Introduced in 1954 as the 6136, the White Falcon was "simply the most beautiful guitar in the world" according to the company literature of the day, and with copious amounts of 24k gold-plated hardware, ebony fretboard, multilayer white Duco finish, multiple gold sparkle binding and inlays.
With this guitar's small f-holes, B6GW Bigbsy, post bracing, and uniquely shaped pickguard (which differs from any other model in the Gretsch lineup), this reissue of the Baldwin era White Falcon is more Billy Duff of The Cult than it is Neil Young and Stephen Stills.
This G7593 was bought new by its one owner direct from USA in 2012, and it has had no changes or modifications. The guitar is in perfect condition and shows no player wear of any kind that we can see. All in all it's a great playing guitar, with that wonderful Bigsby arm and an excellent set-up.
With its sumptuous tone, silky feel, and staggering looks, this White Falcon 7593 has the goods to captivate jazz & country players, as well as classic rock, rockabilly & new wave aficionados alike.
Comes with original Gretsch hard shell case in excellent condition.
