Description
2023 marks Gretsch's 140th anniversary of crafting world-renowned instruments, and to celebrate their achievement, they've released this limited-edition G6136T-140 Falcon. While it retains many of the features that made it an instant hit when it debuted in the mid-'50s, this Falcon sports a flashy new look and several upgrades that make it a top-notch modern performer. If you've been searching for a unique Falcon that's sure to draw attention, this guitar is a perfect fit.
The G6136T-140 features a resonant laminated maple body reinforced with an innovative "ML" bracing, giving it a massive sound with punchy mids and chiming highs. Its Standard "U" shaped maple neck has a solid, chunky feel, and its 12" radius ebony fingerboard is great for chording and soloing alike. Not only does it sound and play remarkably well, but its Grover Imperial locking tuners and Adjusto-Matic bridge give it exceptional intonation and tuning stability, even when using the Bigsby B6CP tailpiece to perform deep bends and vibrato.
Gretsch equipped the G6136T-140 with a pair of FT-67 Filter'Tron humbuckers that give this Falcon a pleasing blend of vintage and modern tones. These pickups deliver a stunning sound with top-end clarity, glassy mids, and robust lows, making them perfect for a wide range of styles and settings. And for players who love tweaking their sound to perfection, this model has individual pickup volume controls, a master no-load tone knob, and a master volume control with a treble bleed circuit for maximum sonic versatility.
A phenomenal take on a classic design, the Gretsch G6136T-140 Falcon is excellent for musicians seeking a premium Japanese-made hollow-body with a jaw-dropping sound and aesthetic.
