A gorgeous classic, visually arresting with tone to burn.

Dual High Sensitive Filter Tron™ pickups on unique hollowbody construction with small tone bars deliver jangle, bite, or solid round tones with equal felicity. Laminated maple top, back, and sides with 3-piece maple neck are adorned with an ebony fretboard; gold-plated hardware; gold-sparkle headstock inlays; unique gold pickguard with acrylic top and falcon monogram; full gold-sparkle body, neck, and headstock binding; and finely crafted hump block mother-of-pearl fretboard inlays with feather engraving. The Space-Control roller bridge with ebony base keeps the massive gold-plated Bigsby from putting it out of tune.

Amazing, not just for rockabilly

Posted by NowhereMan913 from Baltimore, Maryland on Aug 24, 2009

Experience w/product: I own it

Reviewer's Background: student, hobbyist, semi-pro

Reviewer's Play Style: alternative, post-punk, folk-rock

I play a huge variety of music; from Elvis Costello, Neil Young, The Cure, U2 and even punk stuff like The Clash and X. This does most of those very well. The Filtertron humbuckers are quiet but full. I can go from bright to twangy to rich and mellow with just a few adjustments. After trying different types of strings (10s DO NOT sound very good or hold tune very well on this with extensive Bigsby use), I've come to the conclusion that this absolutely sings with 12s! No, I can't shred on this thing like Slash, but I don't think too many shredders will be drawn to the Falcon.

I own a Gibson Les Paul Classic, a Fender USA Jazzmaster and play through a Fender Hot Rod 410; this isn't my every day guitar but it's definitely my favorite. It took a lot of hard work and saving up to get it (even used like I did) but it was well worth it.
