The Gretsch G5022CWFE-12 Rancher Falcon Jumbo 12-String Acoustic-Electric Guitar provides full, resonant 12-string tone with upscale Falcon styling and Fishman electronics for outstanding plugged-in performance. Its jumbo cutaway body is finished in gloss white, embellished with dazzling gold-sparkle binding. Solid spruce top with scalloped "X" bracing and the distinctive triangular Rancher sound hole yield vibrant acoustic projection suited for any genre. The maple sides and arched back, along with the mahogany neck and 21-fret laurel fingerboard, give this 12-string a smooth playing feel and balanced timbre. The G5022CWFE-12 Rancher Falcon is fit for any stage or studio, with premium components like the compensated saddle, deluxe tuners and gold-plated hardware.

Fishman Electronics Provide Versatile Amplified Tone

Onboard Fishman Presys III Pickup System equips the G5022CWFE-12 Rancher Falcon for amplified use, with intuitive controls for volume, EQ, tone and phase. The preamp's built-in tuner ensures accurate intonation, while the battery life indicator allows monitoring power levels during extended use. Plug in and sculpt your tone to suit any musical scenario.

Distinctive Styling Turns Heads

With its gloss white finish, gold-sparkle binding and vintage-inspired Rancher and Falcon appointments, the G5022CWFE-12 Rancher Falcon makes a bold visual statement on stage. The gold Gretsch logo embellishes the headstock, complemented by Neo-Classic "thumbnail" inlays along the rosewood fingerboard. A gold-plated compensated bridge, gold tuner hardware and pickguard complete the upscale look, reflecting Gretsch's longstanding dedication to craftsmanship and style.

Premium Components for Resonant 12-String Tone

A solid spruce top with Scalloped X bracing, triangular Rancher sound hole, maple sides and arched back provide a resonant tonal foundation. The mahogany neck and laurel fingerboard facilitate smooth playability. Compensated bone saddles optimize intonation across all 12 strings. Deluxe tuners make quick work of tuning the G5022CWFE-12 Rancher Falcon to pitch.

Gretsch's Instrument Limited Lifetime Warranty FMIC warrants your Gretsch brand instrument to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for as long as it is owned by the original retail purchaser, except that pickups, switches, jacks, controls, all other electronic components, tuning machines, hardware, pickguards, plated surfaces, gig bags, cases and case hardware are warranted for a period of one (1) year from the date of original purchase. This warranty applies only to the original retail purchaser when this instrument is purchased from an Authorized Gretsch Dealer and is subject to the limitations set forth herein. IMPORTANT: PLEASE RETAIN YOUR ORIGINAL SALES RECEIPT, AS IT IS YOUR PROOF OF PURCHASE VALIDATING THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. FMIC has established a network of independent Authorized Service Centers for warranty service. The Gretsch Dealer from whom you purchased your instrument may also be authorized for warranty service and should be the first point of contact when service of any kind is required for your Gretsch instrument. To receive warranty service, return the complete instrument to an Authorized Service Center, with your sales receipt as proof of purchase, during the applicable warranty period. Defective components that qualify for coverage under this warranty will be repaired or replaced (at FMIC's discretion) without charge. Remedies beyond normal service repair of any Gretsch instrument require both an evaluation and confirmation of the defect and a direct recommendation to FMIC from an Authorized Service Center for alternative considerations. All transportation, insurance and freight charges associated with warranty service and repairs on Gretsch instruments are the responsibility of the purchaser, as is any service initiated for the purpose of customizing setups or adjustments beyond factory specifications. Initial standard setup and adjustment of the instrument and its components at the time of purchase are considered normal Dealer product preparation, and are not covered by this warranty.
