This Heavy Relic 1959 White Falcon from the Gretsch Custom is a real beauty with its Sea Foam Green Finish!

This Gretsch Custom Shop is an absolute gem of a guitar. The basis of this Gretsch is the White Falcon model, with its characteristic archtop body shape and Bigsby tailpiece. For the color we have chosen a fresh Seafoam Green, with a heavy relic finish. What makes this guitar immediately recognizable as a Gretsch are the pickups and the flawless playability. The two TV Jones Filtertron pickups have a fairly low output, which gives the guitar an almost hi-fi-like sparkle. Thanks to the predominantly maple construction, this Gretsch also sounds wonderfully clear and crystal clear, with a clear attack . Travis picking, blues or just rock and roll! With its Ebony fingerboard and comfortable neck, this Falcon also feels immediately familiar and smooth under your fingers. In terms of looks, this Gretsch also scores high; what do you think of the Gold Sparkle Binding along the body, the gold hardware - and pickguard! - and the aging on the Bigsby! This unique gem of a Gretsch custom shop comes with a matching hardshell case including plenty of case candy.
