The Limited Edition 1958 Custom Falcon™ emerges from the shadows in a stunning Emerald Night metallic finish, bringing dark sophistication to this legendary Gretsch design. This rare bird combines authentic period‐correct appointments with carefully considered modern enhancements, creating an instrument that honours tradition whilst meeting contemporary performance demands. The 2.75" deep laminated maple body features Trestle Bracing for optimal resonance, whilst TV Jones® Ray Butts Ful‐Fidelity Filter'Tron™ pickups supply all the twang, growl and cutting power required to stand out in any mix.
Built to Professional Collection standards, this Falcon boasts a standard "U" shaped maple neck paired with a 12" radius ebony fingerboard, adorned with 22 medium jumbo frets and elegant Mother of Pearl Neo‐Classic™ thumbnail inlays. The gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish covers both body and neck, complemented by premium hardware including Grover® Imperial™ tuners, a Space Control™ bridge with pinned ebony base, and a Bigsby® B6GP String‐Thru vibrato tailpiece. Gold hardware throughout adds to the luxurious aesthetic, whilst Luminlay® side dots provide practical functionality for low‐light performance situations.
Versatile tonal control comes via a 3‐position toggle switch and comprehensive volume configuration: individual controls for neck and bridge pickups plus a master volume, all topped with jeweled G‐Arrow knobs. The gold plexi pickguard features the iconic Gretsch® logo and Falcon graphic, completing the visual statement. This formidable instrument arrives ready for sonic adventures in the included G6241 Gretsch® deluxe hardshell case.
