A classic design updated for contemporary players, the Gretsch Professional Falcon soars into totally new tonal territories. For starters, it comes with two Pro-FT Filter’Tron humbuckers. A new design, these pickups are designed to enhance the guitar’s natural snap and attack. They deliver a more aggressive take on the Gretsch sound every time you plug in. You can refine your sound using the individual volume knobs per pickup, plus the master volume and master tone controls. These supreme electronics are loaded into an all-maple body. The hollowbody design features Gretsch’s Arc-Tone bracing, which puts more mass under and in front of the bridge. This design choice makes the guitar top stiffer, leading to a snappier attack. Meanwhile, a “U”-shaped maple neck and 12-inch ebony fingerboard deliver comfortable playability on every fret. Finally, you’ll enjoy smooth, hassle-free string changes courtesy of a string-through Bigsby B6 vibrato tailpiece. There’s so much more to like about the Gretsch Professional Falcon — read on to discover why you should add this guitar to your cart today!
