Yamisonic Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 The closest one I could find was a Gretsch White FalconI'll try to find a more exact model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santana Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 The closest one I could find was a Gretsch White FalconI'll try to find a more exact modelI'm pretty sure it's the Falcon as well.It's hard to find the exact model though, because they've made a million different variations since the 50's.

Perfect_crime49 Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 1959 Gretsch White Falcon, think its that. When I first saw it i was amazed how big it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highvoltage Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Good choice frank - they're one of my all time favourite guitars (not to mention guitarists ). Worth about $10 000 too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go out and buy a brand new stock model, it will run you about $3,400.As far as how they sound? Like heaven.If you like that body stlye, check out the Gretsch G5120. It's a pretty good guitar, and a lot cheaper. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Gre...kups?sku=513282 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

santana Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 $15,000? That's like $13,000 US. Holy shit. I could understand that price for an original 1955 White Falcon, but that's a brand new one. I'm wondering if there's a high import tax on those things. Something isn't right about that. I looked at some of the other Gretsch models they have, and I noticed that the G5120 (after converting the currency) goes for about twice as much as it does here.
