Gretsch Guitars

Description

The Gretsch G7593T Billy Duffy Falcon guitar has immediately become one of the most unique and bewitching White Falcon guitars ever made. Featuring much of what Falcon fans hold dear, Duffy's inimitable guitar has several unique aesthetic differences that separate it from the rest of the "Falcon" flock, namely its period-correct '70s Baldwin-era styling, pure White gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish, V-shaped Falcon headstock, Silver Sparkle binding, custom wound hot "Black Top" Filter'Tron pickups with three-point adjustable '70s-style metal bezels and Duffy's preferred Bigsby tailpiece.

In addition, Duffy's signature bird of prey features a 17" wide, 2 ¾" deep single cut-away three-ply maple body with a three-ply maple arched top and back and two spruce parallel tone bars and sound post, a three-piece maple/walnut/maple neck with ebony fingerboard, a chrome-plated truss rod cover with Duffy's signature emblazoned on it, a chrome-plated output jack plate, pearloid wide-block fretboard inlays, '70s-style aluminum "G" arrow knobs and a premium gray speckled "Billy Duffy" case. The Gretsch G7593T Billy Duffy Falcon guitar, the tool inspired, designed and built to deliver the ultimate statement of rock 'n' roll nirvana. Includes case.

    I play mostly rock, blues and a lot of 90's music. To me at least, these were the best eras recently in music overall. Love the feel of this even though it's large than most guitars but with that comes a very unique tone that's always at the ready! And as with all Gretsch's it's finish is absolutely amazing. Upon delivery I went over it literally with a magnifying glass to find imperfections, I couldn't find any, let alone one. Plugging it in to my Boss Katana MK II 100 was that "aha" moment you always hope for when you initially start to play any new guitar. Instantaneous gratification to the ears. There's more of a tonal feedback feel than with any other guitar I own (9 currently). I can actually feel the sound as opposed to just simply hearing it. I saved up for several months for this one in particular and it absolutely delivered in every category I had and exceeded a few too. Now if I could only find a black one ;) !

    I have been wanting a Falcon since seeing Matthew Ashman wielding one at a Bow Wow Wow show in the early 80's. I was never fond of the gold hardware though. Fast forward a few decades and The Billy Duffy model solved all of that! Such a beautiful guitar both visually and tonally as well.

    Just got mine, great guitar! It is a rockers Gretsch can get twangy cleans, to roaring gains. This guitar covers a lot of bases. Takes a few days to get use to the big body, but the sound is definitely there. The bigsby is cool and stays in tune, and the pickups are full and hot. Not regretting my purchase. would buy one again!!!!

  • Big, bold and beautiful

    The neck is a bit wider than I am used to so getting comfortable with that took some practice. The instrument sounds better the more you play it. Don't over-wind your strings because that could lead to tuning issues. It does have a bit of that distinct Gretsch sound that is perfect for rockabilly and country but it is more versatile in my opinion and the pick ups seem hooter and more geared for rock. I've played White Falcons before and have loved their sound but never liked all the gold hardware. The Billy Duffy model fixes that problem. Aesthetically, it is the most beautiful guitar I've played
