Description

An incredibly rare gem in any vintage guitar lover's collection, this 1959 Gretsch White Falcon is one of roughly 300 made in the late 50s. Featuring early Patent Applied For Filter'Tron pickups, it has wonderful warm, creamy tone and excellent playability thanks to a recent in-house refret. It's had some cosmetic modifications including a full white nitro overspray atop the original finish, and there are silhouettes of some decorative jewels outlining a headstock veneer. Additionally the truss rod cover screws have been replaced.

Cosmetically, there are varying sizes of blemishes and finish wear throughout, and some binding shrinking in a few locations. Overall, this remains a remarkably rare piece to add to your collection.

Includes original Gretsch hard shell case.
