Members kylef Posted May 9, 2011 Members Share Posted May 9, 2011 Had this imported from the US as i got a good price on it from a dealer. Sold a few guitars recently, and one day i thought i want a Gretsch, and ive always had something for the White Falcon. Lets face it, it is something of an institution. Shopped around, haggled with this guy, and now it is in my front room. Here it is with my 355, and Ricky 360/12 I also changed the pickguard on my Ricky to the vintage gold from Pickguardian.com. I also sent my truss rod cover away so they could match it. Really impressed, was worth doing. You dont have to tell me, i know the pics are bad. Was from my iphone. Will invest ina digital camera.

Members Preacher Posted May 9, 2011 Members Share Posted May 9, 2011 Wow, great collection, and a fantastic setting for that first White Falcon pic. HNGD!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaleH Posted May 9, 2011 Members Share Posted May 9, 2011 HNGD that's a lot of guitar there. The gold guard looks like it belomgs, very nice touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Superrust Posted May 9, 2011 Members Share Posted May 9, 2011 They are great looking guitars. I have never played one but it just looks like it's going to perform. Are there any 'famous' players that play a falcon? HNGD, it's a beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has also worked with Cher, Tina Turner, Bryan Ferry, Tom Cochrane, Craig Northey. Has his own sig Gretsch now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GAS Man Posted May 10, 2011 Members Share Posted May 10, 2011 I think those are one of the most beautiful guitars produced. On that basis I congratulate you on your new guitar. But the only thing that's held me back from getting one myself (despite how much I love that look) is that I find I neglect playing my bulkier guitars. I do have a 6120SSLVO, but I've been cited on that one for guitar neglect. Congrats again, she's a beauty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Zappa74 Posted May 10, 2011 Members Share Posted May 10, 2011 My avatar approves of that Gretsch. I have a cool picture of Billy Duffy that I took at a show a while back... I gotta find it. edit: found it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
