2013 Gretsch White Falcon G6136T-LDS
Here comes the Cadillac of guitars! I think the coolest guitar in the Gretsch lineup! This is a top of the range White Falcon! G6136T-LDS where LDS stands for “lacquered, Dynasonics”! I tell you what folks, don’t buy a White Falcon that doesn’t have nitro finish. I used to have one of the cheaper models (Players Edition) and that had a much worse overall feel and look. This aged white nitro finish on this guitar is absolutely game changer! This is kinda gets old as well so it’s even better! This massive body with this finish is so much better than the far too bright white, cold and unfriendly polyurethane finish… PLEASE WATCH MY LONG REVIEW VIDEO ABOUT THIS BEAUTY: https://youtu.be/29AOq1vlHH8
If you were to walk into a guitar shop circa 1957 and ask to see the White Falcon, you would been presented with a guitar very much like the G6136T-LDS.
This has beautiful ebony fretboard and Mother-Of-Pearl “Humpblock” Inlay Position Markers with Feather Engraving…there are so many beautiful little appointments everywhere on this beauty.
The 1957 features are recreated and even improved upon here in the new G6136T-LDS. The Dynasonic pickups are in the case as the previous owner fitted a set of TV Jones Magnatron humbucker set (this upgrade alone is worth at least £300 and the original Dynasonics are in the case) It recreates the look, sound, and feel of an original ’57 but with modern dependability and durability. The gold plated Bigsby with cast aluminum “spoon” handle and Synchrosonic “Melita” Bridge wrap up the package very nicely offering great playability and a classic look. This beauty is in ABSOLUTE MINT condition and comes with the deluxe Gretsch hard case, all documentation and the Gretsch Limited lifetime warranty.
