Gretsch G6139CB Center-Block Falcon Electric Guitar (with Case)

No longer available at zZounds
This Falcon has a spruce center block to limit feedback for a tighter lead sound, without compromising the twangy tone this guitar is known for.

The Gretsch Professional Collection introduces an innovative version of the venerable Falcon design with the arrival of the G6139 Falcon Center-Block Single Cut-Away guitar. It features a beautiful 1"-deep single-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 allows 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 pickups. The guitar also has jeweled-arrow knobs and gold hardware, an Adjusto-Matic bridge with pinned ebony base and Cadillac "G" tailpiece, Grover Imperial tuners and Schaller strap locks. Deluxe hard-shell case included.

Best playing guitar I've ever handled. I've played for 11 years, never with other people. I own about 7 guitars. I started on an old starter kit with a very difficult to play cheap guitar. Since then, my Schecters have been my favorite. I always dreamed of owning a White Falcon. Once I opened the box, and played it, I could tell why. It almost makes playing easier, which I suppose could be said for any guitar in this price range. Every time I show it to someone, the result is always a resounding "WOW". An absolutely gorgeous work of art, with the sound to back it up. Sturdy construction on all the switches and knobs, fully featured, and wonderful to play.

Musical Background:

11 Years playing solo.

Musical Style:

Mostly blues, as well as metal, classical, and bluegrass.
