Gretsch G6139CB Falcon Center-Block Single Cutaway review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

The Gretsch G6139CB White Falcon is a visual stunner with excellent build quality and versatile Filter'Tron pickups. However, its high price and lack of a Bigsby make it less compelling compared to other models. While it offers a more manageable size akin to a Gibson ES-335, tuning stability can be an issue without careful string maintenance. Despite this, it shines in high-gain scenarios, making it a modern classic with quirky charm. Perfect for those seeking the authentic Falcon experience, but at a premium cost.

1:54 in the video, refers to his Gretsch as having a center-block construction (this is different than a larger White Falcon’s construction) to help feedback.

In the article: “When we were making this last record we did a benefit show with Neil Young. For about two years, I’d had one of these new Gretsch White Falcons but it didn’t have the Bigsby on it and I didn’t really think too much about it. When we played this thing with Neil and he had the Bigsby going on his White Falcon, I just thought, ‘Why don’t I have a Bigsby on my White Falcon?’ It just sounded like the most expressive thing ever.

“So I had Fender put a Bigsby on it for me and that was the day before we recorded Thinking Of A Place and Pain. That’s what I used on those recordings. I’d used one before but not on that axe and it was just so fresh. I think I was over-using it, but I was just so excited!
