Description

The seductively dark G6136T Players Edition Black Falcon with String-Thru Bigsby offers all the classic Falcon elements, in a stealthy finish. Iconic style and richly robust Gretsch tone cuts through a dense onstage mix, ensuring you’ll stand out from the pack, both sonically and visually. It is in near-mint condition - we could only find 2 tiny blemishes under direct studio lighting (see pics) and neither are visible in normal lighting conditions. Everything works as it should without issue. It has a Multi-bound, hollow maple body with bound F-holes. The innovative Gretsch “ML” bracing is specifically voiced for this guitar, and delivers increased projection and airy openness from the thinner 2.25” body. A highly expressive Bigsby B6GP vibrato tailpiece and pinned “rocking” bar bridge combine with the GraphTech Tusq XL nut for stable tuning. In a uniquely Gretsch touch, the Bigsby tailpiece is now string-through, making it quicker and easier to change strings as well as providing increased vibration transfer for enhanced sustain. It has a gold plexi pickguard with Gretsch falcon logo. This iconic Falcon has 1959 styling, with a single-cutaway hollow body, arched top, 1959 trestle bracing, gold-sparkle binding and oversized bound f holes. The three-piece maple neck has an ebony fingerboard with gold-sparkle binding and Neo-Classic thumbnail inlays. It has gold plexi pickguard with falcon motif, Space Control bridge, gold-plated Grover Imperial tuners, horizontal Gretsch gold-sparkle headstock logo and a Bigsby B6GB vibrato tailpiece. A pair of High Sensitive Filter’Tron humbucking pickups providw pristine highs, glassy mids, stout lows and balanced harmonics for tone that blends well with other instruments, while retaining its unique voice. The control complement— separate bridge and neck volume controls, three-way pickup switching, No Load master tone and master volume — allows for infinite tonal variations. Gretsch “Squeezebox” paper-in-oil caps add smooth vintage tone while the treble bleed circuit lets your guitar retain all of its tasty clarity when rolling the volume control down.
