General
The Gretsch Falcon is one of the most coveted and loved guitars in music history. This Professional Collection example is one of the highest-quality models on the market right now. From the rich aesthetic to the deep, lush sound and player-focussed features, this superb, stage-ready semi-acoustic helps bring you to the next phase in your career, featuring a beautifully bound maple body, Arc-Tone bracing, a string-thru Bigsby B6GP tailpiece, and an ebony fretboard finished with rounded edges and Luminlay side dots. Carefully crafted in Japan, the Gretsch Professional Collection Falcon Hollow Body comes complete with a deluxe guitar case.
Filter'Tron Pickups
The Falcon has been loaded with a duo of PRO-FT Filter'Tron pickups that deliver that immediately familiar Gretsch character and tone. Filter'Trons blend the clarity, brightness and articulation of a single-coil with the warmth and power of a humbucker, giving this guitar the very best of both worlds and kitting it out for every style going, whether it's rockabilly or country, jazz or rock. The master volume pot is also supported by a treble-bleed circuit that retains the full frequency spectrum, even at lower volume levels, and the tone pot has a no-load design, so when you open it all the way up to 10, the tone pot is removed from the switching circuit and more of the higher frequencies are pulled out.
