Gretsch G6136T Limited-edition Falcon Hollowbody Electric Guitar - Two Tone Copper/Sahara Metallic

The Consummate Gretsch Hollowbody
Dripping with vibe and sophistication, the Gretsch G6136T Limited-edition Falcon's fully hollow maple body exhibits a lively, bright, and colorful sound that's enhanced beautifully by a set of TV Jones Ray Butts Ful-Fidelity humbucking pickups. A standard "U"-shaped maple neck is topped with an ebony fingerboard, providing you with incredible playability. You also get a Bigsby tailpiece that serves up all the texture and sustain you could ever want. Complete with a head-turning two-tone finish, the G6136T Limited-edition Falcon is a must-have for all Gretsch aficionados — it's the consummate vintage-style hollowbody electric guitar.



TV Jones Ray Butts Ful-Fidelity: Pickups from a legend
The pickup duo in the G6136T Falcon has a story that is truly legendary. Filter'Tron pickups were invented by Ray Butts in 1957 as the first noise-canceling humbuckers. Ray actually called these pickups "Ful-Fidelity" in his personal journals. These pickups would go on to change the world as they were used by numerous legendary rockabilly and rock 'n' roll icons, including Scotty Moore and Chet Atkins.





The TV Jones Ray Butts Ful-Fidelity pickups in the G6136T are the result of an intensely meticulous collaboration between TV Jones and Katha House, daughter of Ray Butts. Ms. House found her father's technical journals over a decade ago that contained his detailed notes on the design and engineering of the original Ful-Fidelity pickup. In 2008, at a Chet Atkins convention, she and Thomas Jones met and discussed plans to bring these original pickups back and bring them back as faithfully as possible. The result is a tone that has a tighter bass response and slightly more top-end EQ than a TV Classic. These Ful-Fidelity pickups deliver a sparkle and dynamic range that conjure the sound of rockabilly's earliest days, letting current guitarists the opportunity to tap the past as well as forge ahead. As Jones told Premier Guitar, "This is the most original and authentic reissue of a Filter’Tron guitar pickup to date. Period." We know once you try them out, you'll agree!





String-through Bigsby provides sustain and texture
The guitarists here at Sweetwater — well, pretty much all guitarists — love a classic Bigsby vibrato. And these tailpieces are essentially synonymous with the Gretsch sound. The Bigsby B6CP on the Gretsch G6136T Limited-edition Falcon boasts a string-through design that makes restringing it a piece of cake. And the pinned rocking bar bridge and bone nut keep the guitar in tune under heavy vibrato workouts. This great design lets you add subtle texture to chords and break up single-note leads without adverse effects on your sustain.




Three volume controls, one tone control: exceptional sonic flexibility
It’s easy to stereotype the G6136T Falcon until you play it, and then you realize you just how versatile it is. With a volume control for each pickup, you can create your perfect balance between warmth, bite, and brilliance when both pickups are engaged. The master tone control lets you fine-tune your sound once you’ve got the pickups dialed in. And thanks to the master volume control, you can take your tube amp from clean to growling without changing the balance between your pickups. Of course, you’ll get sweet tone from the neck and bridge pickups individually, but there’s a lot of territory to cover when you combine them.
