Gretsch G6636T Players Edition White Falcon Centre Block, Double Cut with String through Bigsby Overview
With its classic Gretsch Nashville styling , the G6636T Players Edition Falcon Centre Block in White is everything you'd expect from this legendary manufacturer, and thanks to its chambered spruce center block, a whole lot more too.
Featuring a 16" version of the venerable Falcon body, a Maple neck with Standard U profile, 12" radius Ebony fingerboard, and 22 medium jumbo frets, the G6636T is pure Gretsch from headstock to jack socket, but with the addition of a chambered spruce centre block, the laminated Maple body becomes semi-hollow - allowing for greater strength, higher gain settings, and far greater control of feedback, whilst retaining a lively performance without the addition of excessive weight - thanks to the use of spruce.
Pickups are two alnico V High-Sensitive Filter'Tron humbuckers, so that legendary Gretsch bite and bark is as accessible as the Bigsby® B7CP String-Thru trem system. Classic Gretsch detailing is there to finish off the aesthetic with style and grace; pearloid Neo-Classic Thumbnail inlays, gold hardware, jeweled G-Arrow control knobs, and a Gold Plexi pickguard with Gold Gretsch® Logo - all wrapped up in a classic white gloss finish. A G6242L Deluxe Hardshell Case is also included
Classic Gretsch style and sound - now possible with higher gain!
