Gretsch Professional Collection Falcon Center Block LTD Bigsby Semi-Hollow Guitar, Midnight Sapphire
Manufacturer's Description
Our Professional Collection combines classic Gretsch sound with modern performance features that deliver an enhanced playing experience. Featuring flagship pickups and electronics, these guitars are designed for powerful sound, total versatility, and exceptional control.
The Limited Edition Falcon Center Block is an exciting take on the venerable Falcon model. Featuring TV Jones® Classic and Classic Plus pickups, a redesigned Channel Core™ center block, and deeper cutaways for improved upper fret access, the Limited Edition Falcon Center Block is designed for superior playability and premium sound, providing all the ingredients you need to whip up your own sonic stew.
Redesigned Channel Core™ Center Block
Combining a maple top layer and spruce bottom layer with a more focused chambering design, the redesigned Channel Core™ center block provides faster note attack and enhanced midrange punch that takes the Falcon Center Block to a whole new level.
Refined Body Design with Deeper Cutaways
The Falcon Center Block features a refined body design with deeper cutaways that greatly improve access to the upper frets resulting in better playability and a more effortless experience.
TV Jones® Pickups
The TV Jones® TV Classic™ neck pickup provides clean, compressed highs and mids with a tight and controlled low-end, while the TV Classic Plus™ bridge pickup brings a little more attitude to the party with a slightly rounder top end and higher output, making this a versatile combination that can cover a lot of sonic territory.
Maple Neck with Rolled Fingerboard
A 12"-radius ebony fingerboard with rolled edges and 22 medium jumbo frets tops a 24.6"-scale maple neck with a comfortably familiar standard "U"-shaped profile for smooth playability, while the glow in the dark Luminlay® side dots offer precision fretting in low-light settings.
