New RRP $5899  Black Dot Special $3995The Gretsch Professional Collection introduces an innovative new version of the venerable Falcon design with the arrival of the G6139 Falcon Centre-Block Single Cut-Away guitar.It features a beautiful 1 ¾”-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 centrepiece of the model is a long spruce centre block. The centre block runs the entire length of the body and imparts several sonic advantages.First, it minimises 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 centre block itself is chambered at the lower bout to minimise weight.Fourth, the pinned wood bridge base extends over the sides of the centre 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. Available in White with Gold Sparkle appointments and Black with Silver Sparkle appointments. Deluxe hard-shell case included. Please talk with us 02 6696 3530 Tony Elder / Steve Jackson
