I picked this up yesterday. I've admired the White Falcons for a few years now.

The gold sparkle binding & gold appointments against the white finish looks soooo cool. Classy & trashy...think I'll name it Liberace!
Well, I was trolling ebay last night & it was only up for less than an hour. BIN seemed resonable...about the same price of a re-issue.
It comes with it's original case...just love when they come with the original case...complete package!
Anyway, it needs a correct Bigsby & bridge.
So, what do you guys think of the guitar, the deal?

I thought these came with the "Cadillac G" tailpiece.opticnerve wrote:Anyway, it needs a correct Bigsby & bridge.

Very nice, Tony. Have you been able to find out the year? Looks like a mid '70s to me.
EDIT: Just read the listing, '75...close.

I think it's AWESOME! USA made Gretsch Falcon
I had a late '70's single cut one I sold many years ago and always regretted it. It looks right to me. I don't think they had the Cadillac tail pieces on the '70's versions. Smaller "f" holes, truss rod adjustment at the back neck heel, squared pickguard, classic.
Congratulations

Very nice at a great price Tony. Certainly a wonderful piece of Gretsch history. Congratulations.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm
