Gretsch Guitars: G7593 White Falcon #JT3075509

2003 Gretsch G7593 White Falcon Hollow Body with Bigsby. Originally introduced in the mid-1950s as a showcase model intended to demonstrate the company's finest craftsmanship, the White Falcon evolved from a display-piece concept into one of the most recognisable electric guitars ever produced. By 2003, production of Professional Collection White Falcons had moved to the highly regarded Terada factory in Japan, where they earned an excellent reputation for build quality, fit and finish. The G7593 retains the classic White Falcon formula with its large fully hollow body, gold-plated hardware, Filter'Tron pickups, Bigsby vibrato and ornate cosmetic appointments, making it equally associated with rockabilly, country, jazz and classic rock. It remains one of Gretsch's flagship models and is widely admired for combining striking visual style with the clear, articulate sound that has long defined professional Gretsch hollow-body guitars. In very good condition with a few small marks consistent with its age but no dents or dings. The gold hardware has tarnished slightly but still presents well and the case is missing one catch. Great weight at 8lb 1oz. Really nice example that sounds superb. With Original Hard case and Cert.
