Comments | The White Falcon is an iconic Gretsch and for many years were quite rare. This is an example of an updated design, sharing an eminently practical feature with the Country Gentleman II where the neck joint is considerably shorter. This gives significantly more access to the uppper frets than on previous or single-cutaway models. It’s a very comfortable guitar to play, and really sounds great. |
