CANT BE BEAT!

5 stars all way round'. The Gretsch Silver Falcon plays like butter right out of the case. The ebony fretboard is smooth and sexy. The tonal range is incredible and that's just messing with the pickup selector. The tone selector works wonders, you have a total of 9 tones to choose when you combine the pickup selector and tone selector. Sweet jangle, smooth boomy or thumpy lows (hurray for duck-walking) are possible from the clean Filtertrons. overdriven crunch reveals awesome bite and almost no feedback (the feedback thats there is pure music and inspiring). I have no problem with knocking this thing out of tune (and i go way to bigsby happy.....All the time). Strap buttons are cool. I wish this thing was finished in Nitro is my only complaint (Eh.. the silver falcon emblem on the headstock was funny but I'm over it). The space-control bridge is damn handy, I've used it plenty within the weeks I've had this thing. Oh and the best thing of all is the 1959 Trestle Bracing. Yeah this puppy sings! 22 frets but hey that's plenty. This thing has a 12 inch radius fretbaord on top of a comfy neck.

Big guitar, big sound

Lotta bucks to own but it's a lotta guitar too. Great neck, low action, and a giant body that will resonate and cause feedback in the most pleasing way with an overdriven amp. The Filtertrons are sensitive and loud. I wish there were treble bleed caps, stock, on the volume pots. Fit and finish were perfect when I opened the case (which is awesome too). I am proud to own this guitar.

The Cadillac of guitars

Reviewer's Play Style: surf, new wave rock, soundtracks

I bought the Silver Falcon during the summer and must say that is quite the outstanding sleek mean machine of hollow bodies. Cranking tone comes from the hunbucking, filterons and amazing resonance from a 2.75 deep body. The action is smooth and the neck fast. The chords ring endlessly on this one. It is great espcially with some nice reverb and echo or even some clean effects. The finish is so smooth in black and silver . Definitely great for surf, rockabilly, post punk, jazz, and any kind of textured playing. The Bigsby on this thing is pretty tough too.
