About this instrument

I purchased this Gretsch White Falcon used in 2002. It is easy to play and sounds incredible. I have heard numerous stories about Gretsch guitars having poor build quality. Nothing could be further from the truth with this baby. For a fully hollow body guitar it is quite solidly built with excellent fretwork, binding & joints. The neck is a dream to play. This guitar will inspire anyone looking for the ultimate clean or overdriven tone.
