currypowder Posted January 8 Posted January 8 (edited) SOLD $2,350 Shipped. I’d prefer PPFF, but won’t bemoan anyone who needs to pay regular PP. Now $2,265 (Regular Paypal) or $2,200 (Paypal Friends and Family) Shipped. Trades of other electric guitars considered. While I'm not looking for anything in particular, I'd be interested in a Black/Silver Falcon Double Cut. This is an interesting White Falcon as it seems to be mainly modeled after a '55 with hump inlays and vertical Gretsch headstock logo. But while most '55 models have Dynasonic pickups, this one has Filtertrons. This guitar is in very good shape, I can find no obvious flaws or dings. However, it originally had a Cadillac tailpiece, but that has been replaced with a gold Bigsby with string-through bar making string changes much easier than a normal bigsby. This left a couple of small holes visible on either side of the bridge on the bottom (see pics). Original Cadillac tailpiece is not included. The pickups are the original Filtertrons that came on the guitar, they have not been swapped. It plays very well with tone exactly what you would expect from a big hollow body and Filtertrons. The controls are a 3 way pickup selector, master volume, individual pickup volume and master tone. The neck is a typical MIJ Gretsch medium U shape with measurement of 0.82" to 0.92" 1st to 10th fret. Weight is 8.1 pounds. Includes original branded hard case.

To me, the text is clear, black on a white background. But I guess depending on individual settings, members may see something different. If anyone has any suggestions on how I can correct, I’ll all ears. Quote

I've had that black text on black background problem forever and just swiped over the post window like I was going to copy it so it would highlight it and I could read it. I had mentioned this before on here no one seemed to know what I was talking about. I had no idea I was on the Bravo theme. I switched to the default and it literally made me recoil from the bright whiteness, but now I can read OP's post too. Edited 1/28: I had to switch back. That white theme is way too bright for me. 😎 Edited January 28 by tommy p 3 Quote
cmatthes Posted January 27 Posted January 27 I truly love this one. I’m having a blast with my 6120, but this is the ultimate Gretsch in my opinion… 1 Quote

I’m having a blast with my 6120, but this is the ultimate Gretsch in my opinion… Thanks Chris. I agree, while I love my orange 6120, there’s something about the over the top bling of a WF that just oozes cool. I have another WF and the only reason I’m keeping that one is I prefer the thumbnail neck inlays to the hump inlays on this one. Not that I dislike the humps, just a preference. 2 Quote
