This stunning flagship model from Gretsch is in almost new condition with all original case candy, it even still has the pickguard plastic on! Save yourself the cost of importing one or paying full retail.
The White Falcon is the crème de la crème of the Gretsch catalogue, and the G6136T-59 Vintage Select is a sophisticated rendition of the original masterpiece. Combining period-accurate golden age features and appointments to satisfy your eyes and ears, this rare bird comes alive in the player's hands, singing with its distinctive voice at every strum.
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. A pair of TV Jones® Classic pickups generates powerful tone and unparalleled dynamics. The new 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. 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. 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.
Includes a deluxe hardshell case.
