Description
The Gretsch Falcon is one of the most iconic hollow-body guitars on the market, courtesy of its rich, complex voice and impeccable style. This axe carries the Falcon lineage forward, offering musicians a world-class performance experience that'll keep them coming back for more. From its powerful PRO-FT Filter'Tron pickups to its Bigsby B6 tailpiece, the Gretsch Falcon is a top-notch guitar with tons to offer.
Boasting a slim 2.5" deep body, the Gretsch Falcon is lighter and more comfortable than a typical hollow-body guitar. Despite its compact design, though, the Falcon projects an impressively full-bodied tone, no doubt a result of its innovative Arc-Tone bracing. The bracing features torrefied maple tone bars with spruce support braces, guaranteeing better sustain, a crisper note attack, and exceptional feedback control.
Sporting a standard "U" shaped maple neck, the Gretsch Falcon plays with a comfy, familiar feel. The 12" radius ebony fingerboard feels sleek and comfortable, thanks to its precision-rolled edges and 22 medium jumbo frets. And, thanks to the Luminlay side dots, this Gretsch is perfect for pit orchestra musicians, late-night jazz club performers, and anyone who requires accurate fretting in low-light environments.
The PRO-FT Filter'Tron humbuckers give this Falcon a pleasing blend of vintage and modern tones, offering a delightfully versatile sonic palette. These pickups deliver a stunning sound with top-end clarity, glassy mids, and a tight bottom-end, making them great for both solo artists and ensemble players alike.
Combining all the classic appointments Gretsch enthusiasts love about the Falcon with outstanding new performance specs, the Gretsch Falcon is a must-try instrument for musicians seeking a top-of-the-line hollow-body guitar.
