Gretsch G6139CB Falcon Center-Block Semi-hollowbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:- Long spruce center block enhances your tone
- Sweet vintage tone from Filter'Tron pickups
- Tap into Gretsch's legacy in American music
You get a lot of tonal bang for your buck with the Gretsch G6139CB Falcon thanks to its long spruce center block. Running the full length of the body, the center block allows the otherwise hollowbody to resist resonant-frequency feedback. That means you can rock out louder, with more gain, without your amplifier squealing out of control. Spruce is a snappy tonewood too, and since the center block connects with the bridge, the note definition, clarity, and sustain on the G6139CB Falcon are amazing.
Sweet vintage tone from Filter'Tron pickupsThe G6139CB Falcon packs a wide-ranging vintage-style voice, thanks to a pair of Filter'Tron humbucking pickups. These pickups sport larger magnets and pole screws, resulting in higher inductance, which means thicker tone. The bobbins are packed closer together and wound with less magnet wire, which means you don't lose as much high end as other humbuckers.
Tap into Gretsch's legacy in American musicThe G6139CB Falcon is a proud part of Gretsch's legacy in American music. Everyone knows Gretsch electric guitars and drums, but did you know that they got their start in 1883 as a banjo company? It wasn't long before Gretsch was making mandolins, ukuleles, and eventually flat-top guitars, contributing to the very roots of American music. So when you pick up a Gretsch guitar, you're holding more than a great axe, you're holding a piece of American music history.
