Sound:
Here is an instrument without the usual tone controls. The pickup selector/tone switches do the job nicely. This guitar may not be right for every musical style, but it is extremely flexible. Play around with different amp settings/modeling, and you will find a wide variety of sounds. From clean and crisp, to dark and driven, the Falcon can sing it all, and with unequaled style.
Feature:
The roller bridge with the Bigsby is a great combination. No tuning problems when you work the "whammy bar" hard. The floating bridge is easy to set up, and allows for easy adjustment when needed.
Ease of Use:
The manual is clear, and covers the basics. The rest is up to you to find your sound. Re-stringing this guitar is a little different because of the Bigsby and the floating bridge, but not a problem unless you're in a hurry.
Quality:
Flawless finish. Nothing loose or "cheap". I personally will not take this guitar on the road. For me the Falcon is a special guitar, and I play it a lot, but when it comes to "the road", the old Strat or the LP get the call.
Value:
Style-wise, this guitar is over-the-top. Beautiful tone, easy to play, well built, and stunning to look at. "Value" is in the eye of each owner, so if paying thousands for a guitar works for you, then it's worth it. It was for me.
Manufacturer Support:
No experience with customer support.
The Wow Factor:
Just open the case in front of your bandmates, and watch jaws hit the floor! Walk out on stage with a Falcon, and every eye in the venue is on you! I've had young "hotties" come up wanting to get a closer look... and I've um... given it to them... enough said?
Overall:
The Falcon is a "lifetime" guitar. Nothing comes close to the style, tone, and "mystique". This is not a guitar I will sell. It will be in my will. I chose the Falcon because one very influential artist has played them for years; Mr. Stephen Stills. This is a fun guitar to play, and it can fit a wide variety of musical styles. Take a deep breath, and write the check. You won't be disappointed!
