Gretsch G6136T-140 Ltd. 140th Double Platinum Falcon W. String-Thru Bigsby
2023 marks the “Double Platinum” Anniversary for the Gretsch brand. To commemorate 140 years of unmistakable sound, we proudly present the Limited Edition G6136T-140 Falcon – a guitar that honors its inspired past while providing the power and voice for the next generation of visionary players.
Adirondack Red Spruce Top with ML Bracing
The G6136T-140 Falcon guitar features a 17-inch-wide hollow body with a solid Adirondack Red Spruce top, laminated maple back and sides and ML bracing.
All-New FT-67 Filter’Tron Pickups
It’s powered by the all-new FT-67 Filter’Tron humbucking pickups, which were designed to capture authentic vintage Gretsch voicing but with a more well-rounded tone for modern playing styles. This powerful pair of pickups provide open and pristine top-end chime, glassy midrange, robust low end, and balanced harmonics for tone that blends seamlessly with other instruments.
Versatile Controls
The combination of individual pickup volume controls, master no-load tone and master volume with treble bleed circuit provides intuitive global control over your pickup and tone settings.
Exclusive 140 Anniversary Aesthetics
The G6136T-140 features an opulent 2-Tone Stone Platinum over Pure Platinum finish, adorned with matching pickguard and pickup bezels, jeweled G-Arrow control knobs, silver sparkle binding, and a commemorative 140th Anniversary plaque on the matching headstock to create a look and style as big and unmistakable as its sound.
