Gretsch G6136T-59GE White Falcon with Bigsby, Vintage White

Full Description

Perfect tone

The G6136T-59GE comes designed with a pair of TV Jones Classic pickups, located at the bridge and neck of the guitar. Thanks to these, you are provided with an iconic vintage twang, alongside the growl of the late ‘50s. These also provide a versatile tone. However, this model is ideal for genres such as blues, rockabilly, and country.

Like many guitars by Gretsch, the G6136T-59GE features a Bigsby B6GVT vibrato tailpiece which offers a smooth tremolo system to create classic sounding pitch bend, providing evenly spread movement across all strings. The Bigsby can be used to create subtle movements in chords, adding extra depth and texture to your sound. Its incredible voicing also features tones from the hollowbody construction. Thanks to the “F” sound holes, a natural acoustic projection and resonant sound is produced.

Sculpted for perfection

Every detail of this guitar has been carefully thought out to ensure you receive the best playing experience possible. Starting with the foundation of the guitar, the body. Crafted from maple, you are provided with comfort as well as an excellent tone, resonance, and pleasing aesthetics. The body also features a hollow construction with two “F” holes that offer excellent tonality and a complex resonance.

Attached is a maple neck, which also enhances the guitar’s overall sound with its balanced and warm voicing. The wood also provides a smooth base for your hand to glide down for a fast and articulate performance. Sat on top of the neck is an ebony fingerboard adorned with twenty-two frets. This tops of your comfort thanks to its natural and smooth feel, providing luxury under your fingers. Each guitar is meticulously crafted from the finest materials to provide you with an instrument worthy of a lifetime of music making. This model features a single cutaway profile, which provides you with better access to all twenty-two frets for an added high-end sparkle to your performance.

Intricate details

The Gretsch G6136T-59GE features a real bone nut, which maintains its authentic appearance. The main purpose of using a real bone nut compared to modern materials is that bone offers excellent resonance and sustain. A bone nut also delivers a very balanced tone and will last a long time. In addition, this type of nut naturally self-lubricates and helps you stay in tune for longer.

Its innovative style bridge is named after its method of adjusting the spacing between each string. Designed by Gretsch’s own Jimmie Webster, the Space Control bridge offers a simple adjustment of the spacing between each string, using the six wheel-shaped saddles positioned along a threaded bar. This allows the player to set a broad string spread for finger-style work or a narrow spread for pick and chord work.
