Gretsch G6136TG-58 Limited 1958 Custom Falcon Electric Guitar w/ Bigsby, Emerald Night

A true bird of prey, as it were, the Grestch Limited Edition 1958 Custom Falcon is on the hunt in a deep Emerald Night finish! This classic, showstopping hollowbody Gretsch spreads its wings on an enormously theatrical limited-edition model dressed to the nines with all Gretsch's timeless electronics and appointments. If there were ever a time to be proudly "For the birds," now's the time!

This limited release G6136TG-58 steps up to the plate and aims its bat for the outfield with a flurry of fine hollowbody Gretsch elements. Everything here, however, starts first with a loud-and-proud Gretsch Falcon hollowbody brought together from laminated maple. Filling to a comfortable 2.75" thick, the Falcon's laminated maple hollowbody presents a full, resonant, and powerful sonic profile right off the bat. Within, Gretsch's 1959 Trestle Bracing provides exceptional additional balance and projection for a reverently retro Falcon feel. This Falcon is decked in a dazzling and dark Emerald Night-colored lacquer for a classy top-off.

At this point, this Falcon rustles its feathers with a set maple neck in a Gretsch Standard "U" profile. Filling the palm with a more vintage-style feel, this neck pairs up with a rich ebony fingerboard measuring out to a flat twelve-inch radius. This ebony board lines up twenty-two Medium Jumbo frets with Mother of Pearl Neo-Classic thumbnail inlays for an understated, effortlessly cool look and a seamless fretting feel on the fingertips. Luminlay side dots accompany on the fingerboard's side.

Audibly, this Falcon cries with two TV Jones Ray Butts Ful-Fidelity Filter'Tron humbucking pickups. Onboard, these two vividly vintage Filter'Trons bark and bite with all the retro humbucker warmth and grit needed for a mold-breaking musical experience. Expansive tone and volume controls make for a tonal mixing experience that's deep without becoming unintuitive.

These powerful humbuckers are backed by a sturdy hardware setup with plenty of charm of its own. First, the gold-sparkle-laden headstock is lined with gold-finished Grover Imperial tuning machines and a bone nut for quick stringing and solid intonation. Second, a Space Control bridge appears at the opposite end of the scale with a pinned ebony base. Lastly, one of the centerpieces of the whole model, a Bigsby B6GP vibrato tailpiece tops everything off with expressive vibrato pitch shifts. This Gretsch Falcon travels with an included hardshell case.
