• Premium craftsmanship: solid spruce top, laminated maple back/sides, parallel tone bars, and a deep 2.75" / 70 mm body for ample and balanced projection.


• Smooth playability: comfortable maple neck with "U" profile, ebony fingerboard with 12" / 305 mm radius, 22 medium jumbo frets, 25.5" / 648 mm scale length.

A 1955 White Falcon Heritage Faithfully Revisited

Designed based on Jimmie Webster's 1955 vision, the G6136-55 Vintage Select captures the DNA of the original "White Falcon." This edition features iconic period elements - Cadillac "G" tailpiece, Synchro-Sonic bridge, sparkling bindings - combined with a nitrocellulose finish for free vibration, natural aging patina over time, and the charisma of an authentic "dream guitar."

For Which Musician and Styles

Ideal for intermediate to expert guitarists seeking a high-end hollow body. Its clear and articulate range shines in rockabilly, country, jazz, soul, pop, and vintage rock, while providing enough bite for modern indie. The precise response of the long scale length facilitates twangy rhythms as well as detailed melodic lines.

Sound Characteristics

The TV Jones T-Armond pickups deliver the sparkle and attack of single coils, with firm lows and shimmering highs typical of great Gretsch hollow bodies. The wiring with Paper-in-Oil "Squeezebox" capacitors provides a smooth and musical tonal curve. The combination of solid spruce top, laminated maple, and parallel tone bars offers wide projection, silky sustain, and excellent note definition. The Synchro-Sonic bridge allows ultra-precise intonation, while the 3-position toggle switch and independent volumes provide a versatile tonal palette.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

Includes G6242L 17" Hollow Body hard case (ref. 099-6413-000). For maintenance and playing, choose nickel-plated steel .011-.049 electric guitar strings, compatible with the factory-installed gauge.
