Full Description

Original Filter'Tron flavour

And it's legendary. Sound that will leave you questioning every other guitar that you've ever played is right here. Expect the 62 Falcon to ooze the classic sound rock 'n' roll, a tone that defined decades of music, and sonic charm so legendary, it really does enforce the feeling of rock 'n' roll will never die.

Not often can you describe a guitar's electronic system as being "legendary". But it's the only word suitable for these Ray Butts Ful-Fidelity Filter'Tron pickups. The Filter'Tron-style pickup was first invented by Ray Butts for Gretsch over 60 years ago. A key player in the history of rock 'n' roll, the Filter'Tron solved the issue of the day for many musicians: guitars that couldn't handle being played at the loud output the genre demanded without suffering from horrible feedback.

The Filter'Tron's noise humbucking feature meant guitarists could play with unmatched dynamism. It made the powerful, aggressive rock 'n' roll tones that we know and love today possible. This Ray Butts Ful-Fidelity pickup set from TV Jones uses the original specifications for the Filter'Tron, with modern day audio clarity. Experience sound that forged the sound of music's greatest genre.

Birthed for the spotlight

A guitar to fall in love with. You've already heard about the Gretsch 62 Falcon's incredible sound and feel. In truth, these qualities alone are enough to make it an instrument that sits among the world's finest. But Gretsch haven't stopped there. They've also injected a healthy dose of beautiful style into the Falcon to ensure its status as one of the most remarkable guitars in existence. A glistening white finish is instantly recognisable with its gold hardware, stunning sparkle, and famed Falcon graphic, combined. Unique thumbnail fingerboard inlays give the Falcon an extra touch of class, while a classic headstock adds even more glam to this utter beauty. A piece of art awaits your presence...

Even more original charm...

That's right. Gretsch loaded this Limited Edition Falcon with their iconic Space Control bridge and Bigsby B6GVT tailpiece. This innovative style bridge is named after its method of adjusting the spacing between each string. Designed by Gretsch’s own Jimmie Webster, the Space Control bridge offers a simple adjustment of the spacing between each string, using the six wheel-shaped saddles positioned along a threaded bar. This allows the player to set a broad string spread for finger-style work or a narrow spread for pick and chord work too. And, with their authentic, instantly recognisable bigsby tailpiece, you can deliver whammy mayhem and smooth rippling goodness like an icon of days gone by.

The Holy Grail of tremolo

Where do we start with the Bigsby? It's been seen on some of the most iconic guitars of all time. It's been used by some of the most legendary players ever. And it really has stood the test of time. There's still nothing like a Bigsby for bringing a bit of tremolo magic to your playing. Explore thunderous thump, and classic twang like no other. There's simply nothing that can recreate that iconic sonic flavour. Plus, it's a piece of hardware that will forever be etched in your mind as a classy, premium edge to your electric. With a resonant lightweight hollow body, classy 'F' holes, and breathtaking style, this Gretsch LTD 62 Falcon is one dreamy instrument that once experienced, you simply won't live without.

Gretsch quality - undeniably legendary

Made by manufacturers who are woven into the history of rock 'n' roll. Gretsch's iconic sound has seen their guitars find the way into the hands of some of rock music's most lauded performers. The list is staggering. Pete Townshend used one to cut Quadrophenia with The Who, as well as on their gigantic, iconic hit ''Won't Get Fooled Again''. George Harrison played one on a ton of Beatles material (he even used to get annoyed when John Lennon kept asking to borrow it). Neil Young. Velvet Underground. Eric Clapton. The Rolling Stones. The illustrious collection of artists who have used a Gretsch in their music reads like a who's who of music's greatest. It's about time you experienced why these gorgeous guitars are considered so remarkable.
