Description
Cosmetic Condition: 100% original & in great shape for a 35-year old guitar. This gorgeous Falcon was built towards the end of the Baldwin era & sports a very cool vintage vibe. There are various minor nicks, chips, dents & dings along with light surface scratches & some mild finish checking. There's a rather large chip in the finish on the backside of the headstock. The white finish has aged into a mellow cream color with some really nice variegation throughout. Overall the guitar has a great look to it with a gorgeous patina. It has been professionally set up by us with a fresh set of strings & low action.
Neck: Slender, yet wide profile maple neck with gold sparkle binding. Ebony fingerboard with mother of pearl block inlays. Frets are in great shape with some light wear, but plenty of life in them. Bound headstock with gold sparkle Gretsch logo. Grover Imperial tuners are in perfect working condition. 1 11/16" nut width with zero fret; 25 1/2" scale length. Neck is straight & truss rod works fine.
Body: Double-cutaway, hollow maple body with dual F-holes & gold sparkle binding. Bigsby tremolo tailpiece with Adjustomatic bridge & gold hardware. Gold plexi pickguard with Falcon logo. The white vinyl back pad is in great shape, but the plastic cover underneath it has a few cracks in it around the screws. Guitar weighs 9 lbs.
Pickups: Gretsch FilterTron humbuckers with gold bezels. Stereo output with dual volume controls, 3-way pickup selector & 4 mini tone toggles. All electronics are in perfect working condition.
Case: Original hardshell case included.
