Electric Guitar

Iconic Gretsch presence with deep hollow-body tone and premium stage-ready refinement

The Gretsch Falcon Hollow Body with String-Thru Bigsby stands as one of the most revered and sought-after designs in guitar history, pairing unmistakable visual presence with the kind of rich, expansive sound that defines a true flagship hollow-body instrument. Built for players who want bold tone, exceptional control, and a commanding stage presence, this Professional Collection model blends classic Gretsch character with a premium feature set designed for modern performance.

Large hollow-body response with rich, articulate character

A 17-inch-wide, 2.5-inch-deep maple body with Arc-Tone bracing gives this Falcon a deep, resonant voice with strong projection, musical detail, and the kind of open, expressive response players expect from a top-tier Gretsch hollow-body. This design helps deliver a full and balanced tonal foundation that remains lively and articulate across a broad range of styles.

Flagship pickup performance with total tonal control

PRO-FT Filter'Tron humbucking pickups provide the signature Gretsch blend of clarity, punch, and refined power, making this guitar equally capable of sparkling cleans, rich chord work, and dynamic lead playing. A three-position pickup toggle switch, individual pickup volume controls, master volume with treble bleed circuit, and a master no-load tone control with Squeezebox capacitor give players a wide range of practical sound-shaping options without sacrificing ease of use.

Built for an elevated playing experience

The standard U-shaped maple neck and 25.5-inch scale length provide a confident, substantial feel, while the 12-inch-radius ebony fretboard with rolled edges offers a smooth and refined playing surface. With 22 medium jumbo frets, pearloid Neo-Classic thumbnail inlays, Luminlay side dots, a string-thru Bigsby B6GP vibrato tailpiece, Adjusto-Matic bridge on a pinned ebony base, Graph Tech TUSQ XL nut, Grover Imperial locking tuners, and Grover strap locks, this model is equipped for reliable professional use. Gold hardware and the included G6242L Gretsch 17" Deluxe Hollow Body Hardshell Case complete the premium package.
