Gretsch G6139CB Falcon Centre-Block Single Cutaway (White) Overview

Gretsch Product Overview

The Gretsch Professional Collection introduces an innovative new version of the venerable Falcon design with the arrival of the G6139 Falcon Centre-Block Single Cut-Away guitar. It features a beautiful 1 -+"-deep single-cutaway three-ply maple body with a 16"-lower bout, arched top and back, multi-ply sparkle appointments and oversized f holes. The centrepiece of the model is a long spruce centre block.

The centre block runs the entire length of the body and imparts several sonic advantages. First, it minimises body-resonant feedback and allows a more "high gain-friendly" performance. Second, it's made of spruce, which produces a spirited, lively tone. Third, the centre block itself is chambered at the lower bout to minimise weight. Fourth, the pinned wood bridge base extends over the sides of the centre block about 5/8" on either side, transferring string-vibration energy to the two f-hole-vented body chambers to produce a rich and full-bodied tone.

Other premium features include a three-piece maple neck; 12"-radius ebony fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets, pearloid Neo-Classic "thumbnail" inlays and multi-ply sparkle appointments; Gretsch "winged/vertical" sparkle logo; and dual High Sensitive Filter Tron pickups. The guitar also has jewelled-arrow knobs and gold hardware, an Adjusto-Matic bridge with pinned ebony base and Cadillac "G" tailpiece, Grover Imperial tuners and Schaller strap locks. Available in White with Gold Sparkle appointments and Black with Silver Sparkle appointments. Deluxe hard-shell case included.
