Gretsch Guitars Falcon Center Block LTD Bigsby and Gold Hardware EBO Vintage White

A Modern Falcon in the Professional Collection: Gretsch DNA Optimized for the Stage

Part of the Professional collection, this Falcon Center Block LTD retains the iconic Gretsch aesthetic while adding performance-focused features: a semi-hollow body with a redesigned Channel Core Center Block, reworked ergonomics, and comprehensive electronics. The result is a more "playable" Falcon, more precise at high volumes, while maintaining the Gretsch sonic identity and its immediately recognizable elegance.

Who Is It For, and Which Styles?

This Gretsch is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a premium, expressive, and versatile semi-hollow. It excels in rockabilly, country, blues, pop, indie, and classic rock, with a real advantage for dynamic pick playing and subtle Bigsby vibratos. The short scale length facilitates bends and phrasing, while the double cutaway encourages playing in the upper registers.

Sound

The laminated maple construction (arched top and back) delivers a clear attack and structured projection, typical of Gretsch Center Block guitars. The Channel Core Center Block (maple and spruce) enhances response, tightens the low end, and emphasizes punchy mids, while improving feedback resistance when pushing the amp.

The TV Jones TV Classic (neck) and TV Classic Plus (bridge) pickups provide that sought-after Gretsch blend: bright highs, firm lows, detailed chords, and rich harmonics. The electronics offer fine control: treble bleed on the master volume to maintain clarity when lowering volume, and a no-load master tone (with "Squeezebox" capacitor) to fully open the high frequencies when disengaged.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To stay true to the original feel, choose a .010-.046 electric string set (nickel-plated steel). A standard guitar strap (classic perforations) will fit the installed strap buttons. The included Gretsch G6267 deluxe hard case ensures you are fully equipped for transport.
