Gretsch G6636-RF Richard Fortus Signature Falcon with V-Stoptail - Black Reviews
With an impressive resumé boasting collaborations and full-time duties with bands like Guns N' Roses, the Psychedelic Furs, and Thin Lizzy, guitarist Richard Fortus has made a name for himself as one of the industry’s most respected players. Gretsch has recognized Fortus’s contributions to music the way they know best: the G6636-RF Richard Fortus Signature Falcon. This studio- and stage-ready 6-string takes everything that makes the center-block Falcon exceptional and tweaks it to fit the needs of one of rock’s first-call musicians. The Fortus Signature Falcon starts with the tried-and-true tonewood combo of laminated maple, maple, and ebony for the body, neck, and fingerboard, respectively, with a chambered spruce center block to cut back onstage feedback. This collaboration also resulted in a pair of custom-wound Filter'Tron humbuckers, ensuring the Fortus Signature Falcon pumps out plenty of shimmer and clarity with some welcome growl that works in practically every setting.

Guitar Killer
This thing straight up kills any guitar I've every player. I picked it up used from a local guitar store in Pittsburgh PA. I don't know how the person sold this thing. It was like brand new. You can get any sound of of it with just the volume and tone control. SICK SICK SICK!!!!! Check out the YouTube videos on line you will be inspired and impressed. It sounds so good unplugged also. By the way I love Sweet Water. I might sell three guitar to get the white one with the bigsby. It's a different scale length also.
