I play out with some regularity and this guitar is wonderful especially amplified. The onboard tuner is great. I get a lot of compliments on the appearance of the guitar as well.

This guitar shreds, its big and bulky and sounds awesome, especially plugged in it looks great and you feel like a rock star while playing it… I got the black one…

The G5022CWFE acoustic jumbo Gretsch white Falcon, while astetically pleasing to the eye has some draw backs. Made in Indonesia the Falcon looks gaudy but it's a Gretsch so that's ok! I found no serious flaws in the fit, finish and general playability of the guitar. Somebody out there is setting Gretsch guitars up to good basic general playing specs from the factory. This is a very welcome surprise as several well known guitar makers fail in this critical area. The major problem in my view is the materials used for its construction. The bridge appears to be made of hollow "plastic" and not rosewood as suggested in the description. There may be a sliver of rosewood under the saddle but who knows, I'll check that later. The bridge pins are very cheap plastic as well but easy enough to replace. Perhaps it's not that big of a deal at this price point as a very well known and expensive acoustic for a short period of time also used a plastic bridge in its construction. The "U" shaped neck is very narrow near the nut and feels a little clunky and thick to my taste but to each his own. The sound of the guitar is ok and about all you could expect from a guitar at this price point but I just can't help but wonder how much different and perhaps better it might have sounded with a good piece of tonal wood for the bridge instead of plastic. There isn't any bracing used on the inside bottom body of the guitar. It appears Gretsch relies on the small arched back to provide the required strength. Another expensive manufacture does this as well on some of their guitars, one of which I also own so this probably isn't much of a concern in the near term. After 10-15 years it might show up later as an issue, you never know. On the other hand I have found that an arched back on another guitar I own has a tendency to enhance "volume" and may help account for this Jumbos projection because the Falcon is relatively loud. I own several Gretsch guitars besides this one and Gretsch generally makes a great instrument but in my opinion, a few unnecessary corners cut to save a little money here and there ruined what could have been an extremely desirable instrument. I was going to send the guitar back but I put a new set of strings on her and then for some reason I just couldn't do it.,,, Why is that? Well hey, she may be a little dirty, nasty girl around the edges but she's still a Gretsch and you just can't help but love her ;)

Fun, is the best word for this over embellished work of art, just puts a smile on the face of anyone playing it.

Used at home for practice and recording.

After about a year of ownership, I decided to write a review on this wonderful guitar. I bought this guitar very spontaneously as it was being sold as a used guitar. It had one tiny chip on it that knocked the price down significantly, so i was very happy when I saw this guitar that I had been looking at for a while now was pretty much on sale. Anyway, I jumped on it and got it. This is my first guitar that I've bought, i've always just played whatever takamine, taylor or fender that my family has had available at the time. This guitar has a very laminated sound if that makes sense. It sounds like the intro guitar part on "Cover me up" by Morgan Wallen (originally by Jason Isbell). It is very rich and warm, if you strum a certain way, you can get some twang too. It's perfect for folk to country to pop. It obviously won't have the super bassy sound from other dreadnoughts just because of the woods used. This guitar is perfect and i'm so glad I needed up getting it. I do however have needs to upgrade to a more dreadnoughty sounding guitar just for means of versatility in my performances and recording. I hope this helped, I tried to write as though i was the one receiving the information since i had many thoughts on the product before buying it online.
