Description
Unveil the grandeur of the Gretsch White Falcon Semi-Hollow Guitar, an instrument that impeccably blends traditional craftsmanship and modern innovation. This guitar is a testament to the genius design of Jimmie Webster, providing a musical experience that perfectly captures the spirit of 1955.
The White Falcon is powered by TV Jones T-Armond single-coil pickups, a feature that delivers a crystal-clear tone that showcases the inherent hollowbody character of the guitar. Synchro-Sonic bridge not only gives a nod to its original-era authenticity but also ensures pinpoint intonation accuracy. The bridge locks into place with a thumbscrew, allowing tool-free adjustment.
This guitar features a maple neck with a comfortably familiar standard “U”-shaped profile, topped with a 12”-radius ebony fingerboard. This design facilitates effortless playability, making complex chords and intricate single-note playing a breeze.
The Gretsch White Falcon is the epitome of class and sophistication, sporting shining gold hardware, including the iconic Cadillac “G” tailpiece and gold jeweled arrow knobs. The gold sparkle bound neck, body, and F holes are complemented by a gleaming vintage white gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish, resulting in an instrument that is as visually stunning as it is sonically pleasing.

- Equipped with TV Jones T-Armond single-coil pickups for clear, transparent tone
