Description
Few guitars carry the visual authority of a Falcon. From its sweeping body lines to its gold hardware and ornate detailing, the Falcon has always represented Gretsch at its most ambitious. This Limited Edition 1958 Custom Falcon in Emerald Night takes that legacy and adds a darker, more mysterious edge while preserving the unmistakable elegance that defines the model.
Part of the Professional Collection, this 1958 inspired Falcon features a 2.75 inch deep laminated maple body with traditional Trestle Bracing . That bracing design enhances sustain and feedback resistance while maintaining the open, resonant character players expect from a large hollowbody Gretsch. The gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish in Emerald Night adds depth and movement, shifting under light with a subtle metallic shimmer that pairs beautifully with the gold hardware.
The maple neck is carved into a comfortable Standard U profile and topped with a 12 inch radius ebony fingerboard. Twenty two medium jumbo frets and Mother of Pearl Neo Classic thumbnail inlays deliver a playing experience that feels vintage inspired yet modern in response . Luminlay side dots ensure visibility on dimly lit stages, while the 25.5 inch scale length provides added snap and articulation compared to shorter scale hollowbodies.
Electronics are anchored by a pair of TV Jones Ray Butts Ful Fidelity Filter Tron pickups . These pickups are articulate and powerful, offering sparkling cleans, tight low end, and a focused midrange growl when pushed. The traditional Gretsch control layout includes individual neck and bridge volume controls, a master volume, a three position pickup toggle, and a three position tone switch, giving you a wide palette of usable tones without overcomplicating the interface.
Hardware appointments complete the Falcon's upscale identity. A Space Control bridge with pinned ebony base ensures stability and precise intonation, while the Bigsby B6GP string thru vibrato tailpiece provides smooth, expressive shimmer . Grover Imperial tuners, a bone nut, jeweled G Arrow knobs, and the gold plexi pickguard with Falcon graphic reinforce the model's signature look.
At Cream City Music, we appreciate instruments that combine heritage, performance, and presence. This Limited Edition 1958 Custom Falcon in Emerald Night delivers all three. It honors the grandeur of late 50s Gretsch design while offering the tonal authority and stage ready reliability today's players demand. Bold, refined, and unmistakably Gretsch, this Falcon is built to be seen and heard.
