Gretsch White Falcon G6136 55GE (Golden Era)
A 2016 Gretsch White Falcon G6136 55GE (Golden Era) model in stunning condition. This is now known as the Vintage Select Edition.
Originally conceived as a super limited run to herald the beauty of this original classic deisgn, this Golden Era model from the Japanese custom shop has all of the features as it was envisioned by the great Jimmie Webster in 1955. The G6136-55GE with Cadillac Tailpiece is a true "Dream Guitar" that will be the hallmark of any guitar collection.
A pair of TV Jones T-Armond single-coil pickups and the new Gretsch "Squeezebox" capacitors power this sonic raptor for crystal-clear transparent tone that lets the soul of the guitar's definitive hollowbody tone shine through. The Synchro-Sonic bridge not only lends original-era authenticity, it offers pinpoint intonation accuracy, locking into place with a thumbscrew for tool-free adjustment. Parallel tone bars reinforce the solid spruce top mated to laminated maple back and sides for powerful, balanced sound and increased projection from the 2.75"-deep body. The 12"-radius ebony fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and elegant mother-of-pearl Hump Block and feather inlays tops a maple neck with a comfortably familiar standard "U"-shaped profile for supple playability, making complex chords and intricate single-note playing effortless.
The White Falcon is a sophisticated classy looking thing, sporting shining gold hardware - including the iconic Cadillac "G" tailpiece and gold jeweled arrow knobs - gold sparkle bound neck, body and F-holes, gleaming vintage white gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish and gold, vintage thick plexi pickguard with Gretsch logo.
This guitar is in excellent condition with only a slight bit of tarnishing to the gold hardware and the tiniest, nigh on unnoticeable area of light buckle rash marking at one point on the back. It includes a deluxe 5ply hardshell case, also in excellent condition. A real case queen.
