This more affordable range is an offshoot of the core lineup, made primarily in Korea, which allows Gtretsch to keep the costs down but don't worry, they certainly don't scrimp on features or the build quality.
BUY GRETSCH WHITE FALCON PROFESSIONAL
It's fair to say that Gretsch's Electromatic range has gone from strength to strength over the last few years - with many seeing the series as not just a viable alternative to the more expensive Professional line but as a great collection of electric guitars in its own right. If you aren't a fan of the Bigsby, you'll want to check out the stoptail version The White Falcon is nothing short of legendary and has become somewhat of a poster child for Gretsch over the years - with everyone from Brian Jones to Brian Setzer, Neil Young and John Frusciante turning to the soaring sound of this striking hollowbody to achieve some of the greatest guitar tones ever committed to tape. Last but not least, we have the drop-dead gorgeous Gretsch G6136TG Players Edition Falcon. The addition of the centre block allows you to play this stunning six-string loud and proud without worrying about unwanted feedback. Moving further down the line, we have the Gretsch G5622T Electromatic Center Block, which for us, is one of the most versatile guitars Gretsch offers today. It may not have all the bells and whistles of its premium counterparts, but we can't deny that it more than delivers on the timeless Gretsch look as well as that signature tone. It truly is hard to believe just how little this guitar costs. No one will ever tell the difference.For those on a budget, the Gretsch G2420 Streamliner is a brilliant option. If I wanted something to give me the Gretsch sound for recording I'd buy a lower end Gretsch or a good copy. If I was you, I'd only buy the White Falcon if I really wanted a White Falcon. I've only had to return one guitar, and that was because it was damaged in transit. The guitar that arrived was fine, and by the time I'd adjusted it to my preferences it was great for me. When I knew I wanted a Tele style for example, I looked at the options, read reviews, then made my purchase. I play for a living, and I've bought my last ten or so guitars online, and never had a problem. What it comes down to then, is knowing what type of guitar you want.
BUY GRETSCH WHITE FALCON HOW TO
So assuming the guitar you order is free of actual faults everything else can be addressed if you know how to do a basic setup, swap pickups etc etc. There are very few objectively bad guitars being produced today, especially if you stick to known brands. I live on a small island off the coast of Africa (Canaries) with one small music store, so I'm in the same boat as you. And its better than any other gibson ive played and way way cheaper. A gibson bfg which is basically like a studio. In fact my favorite guitar I have is my cheapest one. Anything over 1200 like I said is already an incredible guitar. If I put gold foils in my les paul itd sound pretty close to a duojet. In fact most famous gretsch sounds are not a WF most come from other guitars in their lineup. You dont need a 5k gretsch to have the gretsch sound. Most of jack whites work in raconteurs is a duojet. Sometimes better.Īrctic monkeys song r u mine is a gretsch duojet and has that authentic awesome gretsch tone. China, Korea, Mexico etc make them judt as good as anywhere else. And back in the day made in Japan or US was worth the premium for guitars.
The WF is 5k because its built in Japan and because it has the name behind it. Any decent gretsch will sound likr a gretch. I've never heard anyone say you need a white falcon to get authentic gretsch tones.
