GRETSCH / 6136 WHITE FALCON

The Gretsch White Falcon is a visually distinctive guitar commercially introduced in 1955 by Gretsch. While it has seen vast and substantial changes to its body shape and features through the years, and is currently offered in several styles, the White Falcon has always maintained a striking and unmistakable presence and has become a highly recognized piece of Rock history.

The White Falcon is best known for its large 17-inch size and distinctive appearance, with gleaming white paint, copious gold trim, and a falcon in mid-flight engraved on the gold pickguard.

1955年ホワイトファルコンは誕生します。17インチボディーにホワイトカラーにゴールドパーツを携え、グレッチの最高機種として君臨。今回ご紹介するホワイトファルコンは1966年から1969年まで採用されていた”Tuning folk bridge”というブリッジ下部が音叉(何と440khz)になった構造を持ち、弦振動を受け止めた際にこの音叉が共振する仕組みとなっております。また、ピックアップは1958年から採用されているフィルタートロンピックアップがマウントされ、パンチの効いたロックサウンドを繰り出します。
