Gretsch G6136T White Falcon 2013

This second hand electric guitar is in great condition.

Includes original Gretsch hard case and paperwork

The 2013 White Falcon is one of the most iconic, visually striking, and unmistakably Gretsch instruments ever made. But beneath the gold sparkle and showmanship lies a genuinely exceptional hollow‑body guitar with huge, open tone, superb craftsmanship, and a surprisingly versatile voice. It’s expensive, flashy, and absolutely magical when it clicks with your playing style.

 Build, Construction & Feel

• Body: Laminated maple, full hollow
• Neck: Maple, standard U‑shape
• Fingerboard: Ebony with large block inlays
• Scale: 25.5" (Falcon signature feel)
• Hardware: Gold everywhere — Bigsby B6G, Grover Imperials, gold sparkle binding
• Finish: Gloss white that ages beautifully into cream

How it feels

• The 25.5" scale gives it a slightly snappier, more articulate feel than most Gretsches.
• The neck is comfortable — not chunky, not slim, just a classic Gretsch carve.
• Despite its size, it’s surprisingly manageable thanks to good weight distribution.
• The ebony board adds a touch of luxury and precision under the fingers.

 Electronics & Pickups

The 2013 model typically features High Sensitive FilterTron pickups, which are the heart of the Falcon sound.

Tone profile

• Bright but never harsh
• Tight low end
• Chime for days
• Hollow‑body resonance without mud

These FilterTrons are:

• Clearer than humbuckers
• Fuller than single‑coils
• Exceptionally articulate under gain
• Perfect for clean and edge‑of‑breakup tones

The wiring includes:

• Master volume
• Individual pickup volumes
• Master tone
• 3‑way selector

It’s classic Gretsch control layout , quirky at first, but incredibly flexible once you get used to it.

Overdriven tones
