    Source

Features and functionality

  • Pre-Fender mud switches use different capacitor values, influencing tonal variations.

    Source
  • Gold hardware, while visually appealing, is susceptible to corrosion, particularly if the guitar is improperly stored over time.

    Source

Mods and upgrades

  • Ceramic magnet Filtertrons in pre-FMIC models have a distinct vibe; TV Jones pickups are recommended for improved sound regardless of the model year.

    Source

Setup and maintenance

  • Pre-FMIC models may have electronics prone to scratchiness; cleaning or replacement is often necessary.

In this youtube video: https://youtu.be/kTD3W2scdcA, and indeed in almost every youtube video for BowWowWow, Matthew Ashman can be seen using this mid-70s Gretsch White Falcon G7593. What differentiates these mid-to-late 70s White Falcons is the fact that they have the black flat-top High Sensitive Filtertrons as opposed to the chrome-top Filtertrons used in most other eras, although the Billy Duffy sig model is based on Matthew Ashman's G7593 and sports the black flat-top Filtertrons.

Billy is on the far left. He took the pickguard off but you can still see it’s a White Falcon by the knob and switch layout.
