Description
Cosmetic Condition: 100% original & one of the last of the American made Gretsches. This is a very rare version of the White Falcon, with black binding & was originally purchased by a dealer in Detroit directly from the factory rep back in 1980. The guitar is super clean for being 34 years old, with only a few minor nicks & dings along with mild surface scratches. The white finish is still quite strong & vibrant, although it has yellowed a bit underneath the back pad. The guitar has been professionally set up by us with a fresh set of strings & low action, so it plays like it's brand new!
