View Full DescriptionIconic hollow body design with stunning aesthetics
The Gretsch Falcon Hollow Body with StringThru Bigsby is a masterclass in visual elegance and classic hollow body craftsmanship. Its 17"-wide, 2.5"-deep laminated maple body is adorned with silver sparkle binding and a sleek black gloss finish, ensuring it stands out on any stage. The arched top and back, combined with bound F-holes, create a stunning silhouette that perfectly balances vintage glamour with modern sophistication. Every visual detail, from the silver plexi pickguard with the Falcon graphic to the chrome hardware, has been carefully crafted to make a powerful statement both visually and sonically.
Premium playability with a player-focused neck
This Falcon is designed for a superior playing experience, featuring a Standard "U"-shaped maple neck that provides a sturdy yet comfortable grip. The 25.5" scale length feels instantly familiar, while the 12" radius ebony fingerboard with rolled edges allows for effortless movement across the frets. Pearloid Neo-Classic thumbnail inlays offer excellent visual guidance without distracting from the luxurious fingerboard surface. Luminlay side dots add an extra layer of practical usability, making navigation easy even on the darkest stages.
Signature Gretsch tone with PRO-FT Filter'Tron pickups
The PRO-FT Filter'Tron humbuckers are the beating heart of the Falcon’s sonic character, delivering the unmistakable chime, growl and sparkle that has defined Gretsch tone for generations. Crisp clean tones, rich rhythmic warmth and soaring leads are all easily within reach, with exceptional clarity and dynamic response. Paired with a three-position toggle switch, individual pickup volume controls, a master volume with treble bleed circuit, and a master no-load tone control, the electronics offer incredible versatility and allow you to dial in your perfect sound with precision and ease.
Stage-ready performance with modern hardware
The String-Thru Bigsby B6GP vibrato tailpiece not only provides classic vibrato textures but also improves tuning stability and sustain, making re-stringing faster and more reliable. Coupled with an Adjusto-Matic bridge mounted on a pinned ebony base, the Falcon delivers rock-solid intonation and resonance. The Graph Tech TUSQ XL nut and Grover Imperial locking tuners ensure impeccable tuning stability during demanding performances. Add in Grover strap locks for security and a deluxe G6242L hardshell case for premium protection, and the Falcon is as ready for the rigours of the road as it is for the spotlight.
