Gretsch Guitars G522Cwfe-12 Falcon Jumbo Rancher White - STOCK B

The "Falcon" Flair at the Heart of the Rancher Line

Gretsch presents here the iconic "Falcon" aesthetic within the Rancher family: a jumbo with a pristine appearance, highlighted by gold binding and a gold plexiglass pickguard featuring the Falcon graphic. This G5022CWFE-12 holds the position of the large-format 12-string in the range, designed to offer the visual presence and sound projection expected from a true stage instrument.

Who Is It For and What Styles?

Designed for intermediate to expert guitarists, this 12-string shines in accompaniment, open chords, and arpeggios. It excels in folk, pop, rock, country, and indie, with a natural "shimmer" that enriches arrangements. The cutaway facilitates access to higher frets, while the Fishman electronics ensure faithful live reproduction.

Sound

The solid spruce top provides attack and definition, while the laminated maple back/sides tighten the low end for clean bass and sparkling highs. The jumbo body and carved X bracing deliver strong projection and generous sustain, perfect for broad strumming and studio doubling. Plugged in, the Presys III's 3-band EQ allows fine-tuning of the tone, from crisp brightness to warmer registers, while maintaining the rich chorus effect of the 12 strings.
