Gretsch has announced three new Limited Edition models that elevate its most celebrated designs with striking finishes and upgraded features and appointments.
Stunning in style and sound, these small batch runs are designed for players seeking a more individualized edge.
Based on the classic ’59 Falcon, the G6136TFM- DCHY Limited Edition Falcon with Bigsby and Gold Hardware is a singularly striking Gretsch guitar. Its body is fashioned from gorgeous tiger flame maple, clad in an elegant Dark Cherry Stain finish and complemented by classic Falcon gold sparkle binding, gold hardware, matching headstock and a String-Thru Bigsby B6GP tailpiece.
Dual TV Jones TV Classic pickups deliver pure Gretsch power, with “Squeezebox” paper-in-oil capacitors under the hood for even smoother vintage tone.
Other premium features include an ebony fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and pearloid thumbnail fingerboard inlays, pinned Space Control bridge, jeweled “G” arrow knobs and a gold plexi pickguard with Gretsch logo and Falcon graphic.
The smartly appointed G6134T-CDG Limited Edition Penguin with Bigsby and Gold Hardware takes Gretsch’s rarest bird and decks it out in a suave Cadillac Green Metallic finish, complemented by a matching headstock, glittering gold sparkle binding and gold hardware (including a banjo arm rest).
