Gretsch Synchromatic Falcon Hollow Body Bigsby Guitar
The Gretsch Synchromatic Falcon is a dream come true for players who admire the "White Falcon" but hesitate at its steep price. This guitar stands on its own, delivering the signature "Great Gretsch Sound" with impressive affordability. Featuring upgraded materials and smart design, the Synchromatic Falcon captures the style, charm, and tone of its iconic predecessors — proving you can own a masterpiece without breaking the bank.
Resonant Architecture
At the core of this beast is a 2.5” deep laminated maple body that acts less like a container and more like a cannon. But the real magic happens under the hood with the Semi-Arc bracing. Gretsch engineers essentially played matchmaker between the open, airy resonance of Parallel bracing and the focused, feedback-fighting stability of Trestle bracing.
Semi-Arc Bracing: This clever internal architecture keeps the guitar resonant and lively while taming the feedback issues often associated with hollow bodies, ensuring your tone stays tight even at stage volumes.
Laminated Maple Construction: The 2.5” deep body provides a bright, snappy attack that cuts through a dense mix, acting as the perfect canvas for your sonic painting.
Adjusto-Matic Bridge: Secured to an ebony base, this bridge ensures your intonation remains spot-on, transferring string vibration directly to the body for maximum sustain.
High-Fidelity Sonic Engine
A Falcon without Filter’Trons is like a sports car with a lawnmower engine — it just wouldn’t be right. Fortunately, the Synchromatic Falcon is loaded with a pair of Hi-Fidelity Filter’Tron pickups that serve up the sparkle and spank Gretsch is famous for. These aren't muddy humbuckers; they use Alnico 5 magnets to deliver a pristine high-end chime and a robust low-end growl that can handle everything from rockabilly gallops to ambient shoegaze washes.
Hi-Fidelity Filter’Tron Pickups: These direct-mounted marvels offer a balanced EQ curve with shimmering articulation, giving you that classic vintage voicing with modern clarity.
Versatile Control Layout: With individual volume knobs, a master tone, and a master volume featuring a treble bleed circuit, you can roll back your gain without your tone turning to mud.
3-Position Switching: Choose between the bright bridge pickup, the warm neck pickup, or a balanced mix of both to match any song.
Seamless Playability Meets Luxury
Let’s be honest: you buy a Falcon because you want to be seen AND heard. This guitar is dressed to kill with multi-ply gold sparkle binding that catches the stage lights like a disco ball. But beyond the bling, it’s a serious player's instrument. The neck is crafted for comfort, allowing for marathon sessions without hand fatigue, while the Bigsby tailpiece invites you to add expressive shimmer to your chords.
Soft “C” Maple Neck: The profile is slim enough for speed but substantial enough for chording, topped with a luxurious 12”-radius ebony fingerboard that feels as smooth as glass.
Bigsby B60 Vibrato: The legendary V-Cutout tailpiece allows for subtle warbles and dramatic dips, adding a vocal-like quality to your playing that static bridges just can't match.
Premium Aesthetics: From the pearloid Neo-Classic thumbnail inlays to the gold plexi pickguard and jeweled G-Arrow knobs, every inch of this instrument drips with classic Gretsch style.
A Legend Within Reach
The Synchromatic Falcon proves that lightning can strike twice. It captures the spirit, the sound, and the swagger of the original icons while remaining attainable for the working musician. Whether you’re chasing rock and roll history or writing the next chapter of it, this guitar is ready to take flight.
