"The utmost in striking beauty, luxurious styling, and peak tonal performance" ...so boasted the original ad copy for this stunning beauty. But don't get blinded by the glitter and gold! From Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young to AC/DC, the Gretsch White Falcon has made its permanent mark in rock history. Rich, complex tones come from dual High Sensitive Filtertron pickups and a 17 in. wide, 2 3/4 in. deep laminated maple body. Gold hardware, multiple binding and Bigsby vibrato add the "flair that is so there".
