Up for your consideration is the Gretsch 6136 White Falcon. According to the Gretsch website, this guitar was made in Sept. of 1999. It's in very good condition, at the heal of the neck the decal that borders the outside line of the fretboard appears to be worn and faded, hard to see but I have it in the photos. There is a very smallDing on the back of the guitar which I also took pics of. Overall I'm extremely good condition for a guitar that's over 18 years old. Plenty of fret life, sounds awesome with the filtertrons!Please only bidders from the lower 48 states DESCRIPTIONThe Blue Book Says:WHITE/BLACK/SILVER FALCON REISSUE MODEL G6136 (NO. 240/241-1401)– single round cutaway semi-hollow body, arched bound laminated maple top, bound laminated maple back and sides, two bound f-holes, three-piece maple neck, 22-fret bound rosewood fingerboard with pearl block (early models) or thumbnail (later models) inlays, bound peghead with pearl gold sparkle logo inlay, three-per-side tuners, ebony/metal tune-o-matic bridge, Cadillac (disc. 2005) or Bigsby tailpiece, raised gold plexi pickguard with flying falcon (Black Falcon and White Falcon) or a silver plexi pickguard (Silver Falcon), two FilterTron pickups, control layout #1 (early models, four knobs, one switch) or control layout #2 (later models, three knobs, two switches) chrome (Silver Falcon) or gold (Black Falcon and White Falcon) hardware, available in Black (Black Falcon and Silver Falcon) or White (White Falcon) finish, 17 in. body width, 2.75 in. body depth, 25.5 in. scale, mfg. 1989-present. The original White Falcon reissue was advertised as a “perfect replica of the 1955 White Falcon.” This style included block fingerboard inlays, a horizontal headstock logo, and control layout #1 (four knobs, one switch). In the late 1990s/early 2000s, the G6136 was redesigned to be an even more exact replica of the 1955 White Falcon with pearl humptop inlays and a vertical headstock logo. Once Fender took over in 2003, the G6136 was redesigned with thumbnail fingerboard inlays, a horizontal headstock logo, and control layout #2 (three knobs, two switches).
