Description: Up for sale, a 2015 Gretsch G6136-59GE Vintage Select 1959 Edition White Falcon in excellent condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. This premium iteration of the White Falcon platform is exceedingly faithful to vintage spec, delivering an array of vital, golden age Gretsch tonalities. Premium features include a pair of USA-made TV Jones Classic Filter’Tron humbuckers, Grover Imperial tuners, a Vintage White gloss nitro lacquer finish, and gold hardware including a Bigsby B6GVT vibrato and jeweled "G" pointer knobs. Tonewoods include a ‘59-style trestle-braced fully hollow maple body, and a maple neck capped with a bound ebony fingerboard. Acoustically, the instrument has a bold, sonically deep tone with the glassy snap and immediacy attributable to the tonewoods and trestle bracing. The pair of TV Jones Classic Filter’Tron pickups have notable clarity, sparkle and muscle; the neck position Filter'Tron humbucker has a thick, silky tone, while the bridge position offers a cutting growl, midrange punch, and excellent note attack.
