G6163CST White Falcon
Based on the earliest White Falcon Guitars of the mid 1950's, this
model is as close to being there as you can get short of having your own
time machine. Features include period-correct body and neck
construction, wiring and electronics. The DynaSonic pickups are
faithfully recreated by Seymour Duncan and the Falcon guitar's signature
trim is preserved. Comes with a vintage style speckled gray case. |

G6120DSW-R Chet Atkins Relic Hollow Body
SURRENDER TO THE VIBE, TWANG & COOLNESS! Only 50 pieces will be
produced worldwide! From the Gretsch Custom Shop comes the G6120DSW-R
Chet Atkins 1955 RELIC. Gently distressed to feel like home, your first
encounter with its vibrant lacquer finished 3-ply maple body will surely
resonate deep down to your soul. As 1955 brought the world such classic
songs as "Rock Around the Clock" & "Ain't That a Shame," that same year
the Gretsch Company produced an instrument with the same timeless
qualities. Recreating the complex rich tons are a pair of Seymour
Duncan® DynaSonic™ pickups with the string vibrations being transferred
via a rosewood based, aluminum compensated Bigsby® bridge. Not only will
the vintage style Parallel Bracing and Sound Post satisfy sonically, the
coolness factor of the "G" branded body & western motif may surrender
you to just open the case and stare at this US made guitar for hours. |

G6129BZ Billy Zoom Custom Shop Tribute Silver
Jet
G6129BZ Billy Zoom Custom Shop Tribute Silver JetNice Guy...Punk
Legend! The image of Billy Zoom on stage with his wide legged stance,
satisfied grin and vintage Gretsch® Silver Jet™ guitar is well
documented in the annals of American punk rock lore. A co-founder of the
band, "X" from Los Angeles, California in the late ‘70s during a time
when pop culture was undergoing a radical change, what started as a
small underground cult following quickly grew to international radio
airplay and sold-out packed venues around the globe. The unmistakable
playing style and tones generated from Billy's guitar rig has been a
potent ingredient to the overall sound that has helped sustain the
band’s career for more than thirty years. In honor of his longevity in
the world music community and contribution to the legacy of Gretsch
guitars, we are very proud to offer the G6129BZT Billy Zoom Tribute
Silver Jet guitar.
Built exclusively at the Gretsch Custom Shop in Corona, California by
Master Builder Stephen Stern, every effort was taken to recreate Billy's
famed sparkled guitar. It should be noted that with the help of a
medical CAT scan device (Computerized Axial Tomography), like
discovering the coveted Holy Grail, it was found that the particular
vintage guitar Billy owned was almost 95% hollow. This chamber style,
which Gretsch had not utilized since the late 50's (until now) creates
an extremely light and vibrant body that resonates sensually to the
player's touch and reacts favorably to amplifier interplay. From the
unique pearloid banjo buttons on the Grover® tuners, Bigsby® B12
tailpiece, Seymour Duncan® DynaSonic™ pickups and Synchro-Sonic™ bridge,
the distressed finish and hardware will inspire you to adopt a wide
legged stance and satisfied grin of your own. |
