Gretsch Guitar Professional G6136 White Falcon

The Ultimate Dream Guitar with Timeless Elegance

The Gretsch G6136 White Falcon™ is an iconic hollow body electric guitar, embodying the pinnacle of Gretsch luxury and tone since its debut in 1955. Designed by jazz legend Jimmie Webster as a “dream guitar of the future,” this professional-grade instrument is ideal for rock, jazz, country, and blues players across Australia. Featuring a laminated maple body with multi-layer binding, TV Jones Classic filter’tron pickups, and gold hardware, it delivers unparalleled dynamics, clarity, and stage presence. Available in Vintage White Lacquer with gold appointments, it’s a collector’s piece and performance powerhouse.

Exceptional Sound Quality

The G6136 White Falcon offers a signature Gretsch voice that’s both powerful and articulate:

• Body: Laminated maple top, back, and sides with a 3-layer body binding and gold sparkle for a resonant, open tone with excellent projection. The 2.75″ depth and 18″ lower bout create a full-bodied sound with balanced frequencies.
• Tone: Rich, warm, and dynamic with sparkling highs, focused mids, and deep lows, blending vintage twang with modern sustain. It’s versatile for clean jazz to overdriven rock, with a distinctive “Falcon growl” that cuts through any mix.
• Pickups: TV Jones Classic filter’tron humbuckers (neck and bridge) capture authentic vintage Gretsch voicing with robust output and clarity. They excel in both clean chime and high-gain settings, with individual volume controls for blending.
• Neck: Maple with a U-shaped profile and gloss finish for smooth playability. The ebony fingerboard has a 12″ radius, 22 medium jumbo frets, and mother-of-pearl block inlays for effortless bending and speed.
• Bridge: Pinned Synchro-Sonic™ with a rosewood base for impeccable tuning stability and intonation.
• Tailpiece: Bigsby B6G with vibramate for smooth vibrato and enhanced sustain.
• Controls: Separate neck/bridge volumes, 3-way toggle switch, master tone, and master volume for infinite tonal variations.

Users rave about its legendary sound, with a Guitar World review stating, “The White Falcon is a beast—huge hollowbody tone with modern upgrades for today’s players.” A Reverb seller notes, “This Falcon is pristine and sounds incredible.” Some mention its weight (approx. 9–10 lbs) can feel substantial for long gigs, but the tone justifies it.

Durable and Luxurious Design

• Finish: Vintage White Lacquer with gold sparkle binding on neck, body, and F-holes for a striking, luxurious aesthetic.
• Aesthetics: Gold hardware, jeweled G-arrow knobs, and a vintage thick plexi pickguard with Gretsch and Falcon logos evoke 1950s glamour.
• Build Quality: Laminated maple body, bolt-on maple neck, ebony fingerboard, and premium appointments like gold Grover Imperial tuners for stage-ready reliability.

Backed by a 3-year warranty, it’s built to last.
