Used 2016 Gretsch G6136T-59 Vintage Select '59 Falcon Hollow Body Vintage White with OHSC
For those that know what a White Falcon is, and perhaps are scouring the skies for one, here's a great opportunity. A sophisticated rendition of the original masterpiece, the G6136T-59 Vintage Select Edition '59 Falcon Hollow Body with Bigsby combines period-accurate features and appointments from the golden age of electric guitars. Satisfying eyes and ears with its golden tones and gleaming looks, this rare bird comes alive in the player's hands, singing with its distinctive voice at every strum.
This one was built in 2016 and was a new guitar here at Truetone. 10 years later, it's back again, ready to go after a full setup in our shop. Over the last decade, it's aged nicely - the Vintage White lacquer finish has aged gracefully, bringing a tint to the paint job, giving it a bit of a vintage vibe.
A highly resonant 3-ply maple top with 1959-style trestle bracing and multi-ply laminated maple back and sides make this instrument a veritable cannon, firing off notes with incredible projection and rich, balanced tone. A maple neck with a comfortable and versatile standard "U"-shaped profile for supple playability is capped by a 12"-radius ebony fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and classic Gretsch thumbnail inlays, making complex chords, far-reaching bends and intricate single-note playing effortless
A pair of TV Jones Classic pickups generates powerful tone and unparalleled dynamics. The Gretsch "Squeezebox" capacitors provide an incredibly silky high end. Add some expressive shimmer to your playing with the Bigsby B6GVT vibrato tailpiece while the pinned Space Control™ bridge and bone nut combine for impeccable tuning stability.
Authentically iconic, this striking guitar displays gold hardware - including the gold jeweled G-arrow knobs - gold sparkle bound neck, body and F-holes, vintage white gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish and gold vintage thick plexi pickguard with Gretsch logo. With its stunning looks and huge sound, the iconic G6136T-59 Vintage Select Edition '59 Falcon Hollow Body with Bigsby is the crown jewel of Gretsch guitars.
The guitar comes with the original deluxe hardshell case and paperwork. Setup to play perfectly by the techs in our shop, it's ready to go. If you've been looking, this White Falcon presents itself as a great deal.
