I have to agree, John. I love Falcons. As ostentatious or pretentious as they may be to some. A friend of mine said mine reminded him of a '57 Caddy with strings on it. Not for the hoi polloi, I guess.

It has always been my favorite, from the day I first saw one in a store!


Nice!

Replace that laptop with a white tiger and you'd have yourself a nice 70's-era yacht rock album cover.

Beautiful John 8)

I got one myself in the January sales,a 2003 with Filter's and the Caddy tailpiece.

I've wanted one from the first time i saw Malcolm Young during the Back In Balck tour.
Then Brian and Billy of course.

Problem i have is, i want another one! The 6136LDS 8)

Sorry John...And sorry John!

One must admit, that JB's white room shot with Falcon, looks much better than the Amsterdam Hilton.... :)

Awsome guitar, John. I have a 6118LTV in to-tone cadillac green. Hey, how could anybody not like 1957, Cadillac Eldorado's, Chevy Bellaire's, Les Pauls with Hummbuckings, v-neck Strats, Elvis on the radio, I could go on and on........ 8)
