The White Falcon is one of the classiest model to be offered by Gretsch since the mid 50s'. It has been tweaked by the company numerous times over the years from different pickups and tailpieces to other inlay styles on the fretboard. This recreation captures a later iteration and is done up in an aged white lacquer with neo classical inlays. The aged finish pops beautifully against the gold sparkle binding. For those who haven't had the opportunity to check out a White Falcon, there is something so special about them. They feature a longer scale length than many Grestch models and a larger body that adds a different dimension and feel.
The condition of this guitar is what we'd deem between "good" and "very good". It has buckle rash on the back, some minor dings in various spots, and oxidation of the gold hardware. The pickup rings have minor splits in the plastic by the screw holes which is very common with these guitars.
