The Gretsch Falcon® Centre Block LTD is a semi–hollow electric built for players who need articulate upper–register access and refined tonal control. Manufactured in Japan, this Professional Collection instrument combines Gretsch's heritage design language with contemporary playability refinements: a redesigned Channel Core™ centre block merging maple and spruce for tighter attack and midrange punch, paired with deeper double cutaways that reach the 22nd fret without compromise. The Midnight Sapphire finish pairs with gold hardware and a pearloid pickguard, signalling professional–grade construction throughout.
Electronics anchor the platform: TV Jones® TV Classic™ and TV Classic Plus™ Filter'Tron™ pickups drive independent neck and bridge volume controls, master volume with treble bleed circuitry, and a no–load master tone featuring a “Squeezebox” capacitor for frequency shaping. The 24.6” scale maple neck features a 12” radius ebony fingerboard with rolled edges, medium jumbo frets, and Luminlay® side dots. The String–Thru Bigsby® B7GP vibrato, Adjusto–Matic™ bridge, and Gotoh® locking tuners ensure tuning stability and vibrato fluidity across extended playing sessions.
