Gretsch G6136T-59 Vintage Select '59 White Falcon Preowned 2021

The Gretsch G6136T-59 Vintage Select '59 Falcon is the crown jewel of the Gretsch range, a sophisticated and period-accurate rendition of one of the most iconic and visually spectacular hollow-body electric guitars ever produced. The Vintage Select '59 edition honours the specific 1959 configuration many regard as the definitive expression of the model, combining period-correct trestle bracing, TV Jones Classic Filter'Tron pickups, a Bigsby vibrato and the gleaming vintage white nitrocellulose lacquer finish that has made the Falcon an instantly recognisable icon. The highly resonant 3-ply arched maple top with 1959-style trestle bracing and multi-ply laminated maple back and sides produce a powerful, projecting and richly balanced hollow-body tone.

A pair of TV Jones Classic Filter'Tron pickups provides the clear, snappy and harmonically complex humbucking tone that defines the Gretsch voice, while gold sparkle binding, a gold plexi pickguard with Gretsch logo, jewelled G-Arrow control knobs, Grover Imperial die-cast tuners and a pinned Space Control bridge complete a specification as sumptuously appointed as any production electric guitar available today, ideal for players after the ultimate Gretsch hollow-body statement piece. This 2021-built example is in superb condition with almost zero playwear and all original case candy, complete with its original hardshell case.
