The Gretsch G6136-55 is a stylish, hollow-body electric guitar from the illustrious Vintage Select Collection.
Originally envisioned by the great Jimmie Webster in 1955, the Gretsch White Falcon is renowned for its fluid playability, robustly flexible tone, and stunning Falcon style.
Now, with this 55 Vintage Select model, you get to experience the guitar as it was first intended, even down to the gold hardware and stylish Cadillac tailpiece.
Gretsch G6136-55 Vintage Select Edition '55 White Falcon Key Features
- Classic Gretsch Design - The big-bodied, single cutaway hollow body design of this guitar is crafted with a Solid Spruce top and Laminated Maple back/sides. The body's white finish is beautifully offset by the gold anodized pickguard and gold-finished hardware, for the kind of looks that has been turning heads since 1955.
- Fluid Playability - A standard "U"-shaped neck and bound Ebony fingerboard combine to make playing this guitar feel as effortless as you could wish for. In addition to this, the Mother of Pearl Humpblock fret inlays with Feather Engraving add an extra touch of style to this already classic guitar.
- TV Jones Pickups - A set of TV Jones T-Armond single-coil pickups, complimented by new Gretsch "Squeezebox" capacitors, deliver the kind of clear, transparent tone that White Falcon enthusiasts love. In addition to this, each pickup features independent Volume controls, whilst a Master Tone and Master Volume allow you to fine tune your output accordingly.
- Premium Hardware - Holding it all together is a set of hardware designed to keep you sounding at your very best, with each and every performance. For starters, the Synchro-Sonic bridge not only delivers original-era authenticity, it also offers pinpoint intonation accuracy. In addition to this, parallel tone bars reinforce the solid spruce top for a powerful, balanced sound. As a finishing touch there's also the afore-mentioned gold-finished Cadillac tailpiece, delivering that unmistakeable Gretsch style.
- Hardshell Case Included - To keep this guitar safe as you travel from show to show, Gretsch have included a deluxe hardshell case. This case not only protects the guitar from knocks, scratches, and spills, but it also features an internal accessory compartment, so you can be sure to keep spare strings, cables, and more close to hand.
