Gretsch has added a spruce center block and double cutaway to its legendary Falcon design to create the high-gain-friendly, lead-guitar-worthy G6139T-CBDC.

What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
Maple top/back/sides Warm, smooth tone with crisp highs
High Sensitive Filter'Tron pickups Round and warm tone; never muddy, great clarity
Spruce center block Tightens tone and adds feel through the neck
Bigsby vibrato tailpiece Classic top-mount vibrato adds resonant mass

The Gretsch Professional Collection introduces an innovative version of the venerable Falcon design with the arrival of the G6139T-CBDC Falcon Center-Block Double Cut-Away guitar. It features a beautiful 1 3/4"-deep double-cutaway three-ply maple body with a 16" lower bout, arched top and back, multi-ply sparkle appointments and oversized f holes. The centerpiece of the model is a long spruce center block.

The center block runs the entire length of the body and imparts several sonic advantages. First, it minimizes body-resonant feedback and enables a more "high gain-friendly" performance. Second, it's made of spruce, which produces a spirited, lively tone. Third, the center block itself is chambered at the lower bout to minimize weight. Fourth, the pinned wood bridge base extends over the sides of the center block about 5/8" on either side, transferring string-vibration energy to the two f-hole-vented body chambers to produce a rich and full-bodied tone.

Other premium features include a three-piece maple neck; 12"-radius ebony fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets, pearloid Neo-Classic "thumbnail" inlays and multi-ply sparkle appointments; Gretsch "winged/vertical" sparkle logo; and dual High Sensitive Filter'Tron(TM) pickups. The guitar also has jeweled-arrow knobs and gold hardware, an Adjusto-Matic bridge with pinned ebony base and Bigsby B6G tailpiece, Grover Imperial tuners and Schaller strap locks. Deluxe hard-shell case included.
