At long last, Gretsch has bridged the beauty and higher performing sonics of its pro line and the attainability of its more affordable offerings to form a bold new bird: the Synchromatic Falcon. This all-maple, hollowbody electric guitar features impressive upgraded appointments, including enhanced Semi-Arc bracing, an ebony-based Adjusto-matic bridge, and a longer 25.5-inch scale length with an ebony fingerboard for under-finger feel that punches well above its weight. Gretsch’s vivacious Hi-Fidelity Filter’Trons join in to give the Synchromatic Falcon a surprisingly luxurious tone in the spirit of the original late-’50s humbucker blueprint. Finally, the glorious gaud that has long cemented the flagship Falcon as Gretsch’s all-time centerpiece stands out with surprising attention to detail for the Synchromatic Falcon’s humble price point, complete with bejeweled k***s, Grover tuners, gold sparkle multi-ply binding, and, of course, that bird-emblazoned gold plexi pickguard! Topped with a Bigsby B60 vibrato for maximum expressive potential, the Synchromatic Falcon flies with expectation-shattering sound, style, and streamlined playability.
