TRADITIONAL WHITE FALCON STAGE APPEAL — MODERN TONE AND PLAYABILITYWe love Gretsch Limited Edition guitars, and this Falcon Center Block Jr. doesn’t disappoint. It maintains the classic, over-the-top aesthetic of the original White Falcon, with striking gloss white finish, gold metal parts and gold sparkle binding and trim. The 14” single-cutaway body (3” smaller than the standard White Falcon) is only 1 3/4” deep, and features center-block construction for a different feel and sound—and better feedback manageability.The Falcon Center-Block’s semi-hollow maple body features a long spruce center block that runs the entire length of the body to minimize feedback—so you get more controllable volume. The block itself is chambered at the lower bout, which minimizes the weight and combines with the guitar’s wood bridge base to transfer string energy for bright, full-bodied tone, even with its more compact footprint.You’ll like the clear-but-powerful tone of the two TV Jones Filter’Tron humbucking pickups and the comfortable 3-piece maple neck with its 22-fret ebony fingerboard and pearloid Neo-Classic™ “thumbnail” inlays. Multi-ply gold-sparkle binding sets off both the body (front and back), and the neck and head. Gretsch knows how to build a “stand-out-in-a-crowd” guitar, and this is another great example.Other top-of-the-line features include the Gretsch “winged/vertical” sparkle logo, jeweled-arrow knobs and gold hardware, Rocking Bar bridge with pinned ebony base, gold-plated Bigsby tailpiece and locking Grover® Imperial™ tuners. A deluxe hardshell case is included.There aren’t many of these gorgeous, limited-run guitars available, so you might want to grab this one while you can.Features
