Center Block Gretsch Double-Cut with Extra-clear Pickups

Have you been looking for a semi-hollow Gretsch that sounds just as good as its big-bodied brethren? You’ve come to the right place. The Gretsch G6636T is a slim, semi-hollow guitar with the classic Gretsch tone. The all-maple body has a chambered spruce center block that cuts feedback without adding unnecessary weight. You’ll find that it’s incredibly comfortable to wear during long sets. The plugged-in tone is produced by a pair of High Sensitive Filter'Tron humbucking pickups with individual volumes and a master tone. Complete with a Bigsby B7CP tailpiece, the Gretsch G6636T Player’s Edition Silver Falcon Double-Cut is an excellent option for any player who needs a full-blooded Gretsch that’s comfortable to play.

Filter'Tron tone — with a twist

Gretsch guitars with Filter'Trons are instantly recognizable for their bright, open quality. The Gretsch G6636T is loaded with a pair of High-Sensitive Filter'Tron pickups that serve up legendary Gretsch bark and bite with extra clarity. Some players prefer them for jazz, classic rock, and any jangly guitar parts. Each pickup gets its own volume control with tone-shaping provided by a master tone control.

Excellent playability

When the guitar evaluation techs in Sweetwater’s Guitar Gallery got their hands on the Gretsch G6636T, they reported that it was one of the best playing Gretsches they’d seen in recent memory. The guitar features a maple neck that’s carved in Gretsch's Standard “U” shape. It sits deep in your palm and invites players to throw their thumb over the top for some old-fashioned rocking. You’ll enjoy the playability of the silky-smooth ebony fingerboard and 22 medium jumbo frets.

Bigsby B7CP makes string changes a breeze

Who doesn’t like a Bigsby-equipped Gretsch? They make it easy to create a warbling feel without throwing your strings hopelessly out of tune. Unfortunately, that playing freedom comes at a price — time-consuming string changes. Until recently, players had to bend the ball end of their strings around a pen or pencil to make it easier to put the strings on their Bigsby tailpieces. The G6636T comes with a Bigsby B7CP tailpiece with a string-thru design. To string up, all you have to do is pass the string through the bridge and pull it up to the tuner. No more hassle!

Gretsch G6636T Player’s Edition Silver Falcon Semi-hollowbody Electric Guitar Features:

  • Double-Cut body design gives you better access to the upper frets
  • High Sensitive Filter'Tron pickups deliver classic Gretsch tones with extra clarity
  • Maple body delivers classic hollowbody character
  • Chambered spruce center block cuts feedback without adding unwanted weight
  • Slim body is super easy to play
  • String-through Bigsby G7GP tailpiece makes changing strings a breeze

I LOVE IT. I LOVE IT. I LOVE IT.

The Silver Falcon is my dream guitar, and it plays like one too. I was not only blown away by how well this beautiful instrument felt and played once I took it out of the case for the first time, but how gorgeous it was as well. Pictures do NOT do it any justice. Plus, as an added bonus, the Falcon has the amazing vanilla aroma that any hollowbody or semi-hollowbody owner has experienced.

The Falcon came out of the case with 10's on it, but I plan on having it set up with 11's since it still feels a tad bit slinky for my taste, but overall, it played and felt great out of the box. Huge shoutout to the Sweetwater Guitar Gallery!

Huge thank you to Matt McKible and the great staff at the Sweetwater Music Store for setting up the in-store pickup. I'll never buy a guitar from anywhere else.

Silver Falcon

Wicked guitar. Totally Wizard!
Rated 5/5

Outstanding As Usual

The only reason I haven't written a review sooner is that I have been playing this Falcon so much since it (very quickly) arrived.

First and foremost, David provided incredible service from the start, as usual. I had my eye on this very specific Falcon model for some time--but it wasn't in stock. The morning I opened the in-stock notice email, I sent David a note (very early in the morning still) making a confirmation inquiry, and he not only sealed the deal despite the time, but also set the guitar aside while we were confirming everything, so that I didn't lose out.

The Gretsch Falcon itself is exactly what I wanted, and worth the wait. Classic Gretsch tone. Chime-y cleans but also has a surprising punch when driven. You won't have problems cutting through a mix at all here.

Everything arrived set up ready to roll after I made a minor pickup height adjustment (not a major one--a screw was just slightly loose on the bridge pickup upper corner is all). The thinner body here makes the playability much better (in my opinion--I understand the traditional big body Falcons are undeniably great too). Falcons are a high price point--and I understand that it is never easy purchasing a pricey guitar without putting it in hand first--but David and Sweetwater handled everything perfectly once again and I can vouch for taking the plunge here.
