A Gretsch Icon for Any Player
At long last, Gretsch has bridged the beauty and higher performing sonics of its pro line and the attainability of its more affordable offerings to form a bold new bird: the Synchromatic Falcon. This all-maple, hollowbody electric guitar features impressive upgraded appointments, including enhanced Semi-Arc bracing, an ebony-based Adjusto-matic bridge, and a longer 25.5-inch scale length with an ebony fingerboard for under-finger feel that punches well above its weight. Gretsch’s vivacious Hi-Fidelity Filter’Trons join in to give the Synchromatic Falcon a surprisingly luxurious tone in the spirit of the original late-’50s humbucker blueprint. Finally, the glorious gaud that has long cemented the flagship Falcon as Gretsch’s all-time centerpiece stands out with surprising attention to detail for the Synchromatic Falcon’s humble price point, complete with bejeweled knobs, Grover tuners, gold sparkle multi-ply binding, and, of course, that bird-emblazoned gold plexi pickguard! Topped with a Bigsby B60 vibrato for maximum expressive potential, the Synchromatic Falcon flies with expectation-shattering sound, style, and streamlined playability.

Phenomenal hollowbody handling
Full-hollowbody performance awaits with the single-cut Synchromatic Falcon’s all-laminated maple body. This beautiful silhouette comes sonically enhanced beneath its arched top with Gretsch’s Semi-Arc bracing pattern, providing remarkable projection and vivid natural articulation to distinctly complement its plugged-in voice. Its longer, 25.5-inch scale length offers endless navigable freedom as well, spanning a gorgeous and sustain-laden ebony fingerboard that’s lined with Gretsch’s timeless Neo-Classic thumbnail inlays. It all sits atop a universally comfortable C-shaped neck, landing in the hands of both advancing and veteran players with outstanding command.
Two Hi-Fidelity Filter’Trons onboard
Paired with your favorite amp, the Synchromatic Falcon absolutely comes to life thanks to a duo of specially designed Hi-Fidelity Filter’Trons. These dual-coils are designed in the spirit of Gretsch’s original humbucker design, providing crisp treble with a tight low end that sings with a voice quite reminiscent of single-coil pickups — but with exceptional hum-canceling clarity to boot!
To sculpt the Synchromatic Falcon’s tone perfectly to your liking, both Hi-Fidelity Filter’Trons have dedicated Volume controls, plus a Master Tone knob for even further refinement. Up at the cutaway, like all true Gretsches, you’ll find the Master Volume control, which comes upgraded with a built-in treble bleed circuit that works beautifully in conjunction with your chosen pickup position. All this puts a wide range of trademark Gretsch tones at your disposal, from bright and forward rock energy to subdued and flavorful jazz.
Golden Falcon glow throughout
Beyond its fantastic feel and Filter’Tron-infused tone, the Synchromatic Falcon further showcases a stunning tribute to the hardware appointments of Gretsch’s top bird. First of all, this 6-string gets an actual ebony-based Adjusto-matic bridge, paired perfectly with a Bigsby B60 vibrato tailpiece for a tremendous balance of responsiveness and expressive playability. Up at the headstock, a real bone nut neighbors a set of Grover Super Rotomatic tuning machines mimicking the vibe of the Falcon’s iconic Imperial tuners. Gold hardware finishing, multi-ply gold sparkle binding, and bejeweled control knobs keep the Falcon flair going with true aesthetic extravagance. Last but not least, a gold plexi pickguard donning Gretsch’s famous flying bird of prey rounds out the sharp, vintage-correct vibe.
