Gretsch Guitars G6136TG-58 Vintage Select '58 Custom Falcon Hollowbody Electric Guitar - Nightbird Emerald

GREISCH Marking a striking limited-edition tribute to an era-defining hollowbody design, the Gretsch G6136TG-58 Vintage Select '58 Custom Falcon captures the look, feel and voice of a true golden-age instrument with remarkable precision. Built with period-correct details throughout, its laminated maple body and 1959-style trestle bracing deliver the clarity, snap and controlled resonance that defined late-'50s Gretsch tone. TV Jones Ray Butts Ful- Fidelity Filter'Tron pickups-faithfully recreated from original designs-add open, dynamic response with unmistakable sparkle and articulation. A set maple neck with an ebony fingerboard provides a smooth, fast feel, while the Bigsby B6GP vibrato introduces expressive movernent without sacrificing stability. Finished in sleek Nightbird Emerald gloss nitro lacquer with gold hardware and classic Falcon appointments, it's a refined, historically grounded instrument built for players who value detail, character and presence. Laminated Maple Body with Trestle Bracing for Clarity and Controlled Resonance The '58 Falcon's laminated maple body, paired with an arched top and 2.75" depth, produces a bright, articulate voice with strong projection and fast attack. Gretsch's 1959-style trestle bracing reinforces the body internally, tightening low-end response and increasing feedback resistance while preserving the open, airy character of a hollowbody. This construction gives the guitar a balanced tonal profile-clear highs, defined lows and a focused midrange-making it equally capable of clean, percussive rhythm work and more driven, expressive playing. TV Jones Ray Butts Ful-Fidelity Filter'Tron Pickups for Vintage Clarity and Dynamic Range Built from Ray Butts' original designs, the TV Jones Ful-Fidelity Filter'Tron pickups deliver a distinctive Gretsch voice with enhanced openness and detail. Their lower output and non-waxed construction create a three-dimensional, airy quality, with tight bass response and extended top-end clarity. Notes remain articulate under gain, while clean tones retain sparkle and depth. This pickup design captures the character of early Filter'Trons, offering a dynamic response that reacts closely to picking nuance and playing style. Maple Neck and Ebony Fingerboard for Smooth Response A set maple neck with a standard U profile provides a substantial yet comfortable grip, supporting both effortless chord work and expressive lead playing. The 25.5" scale length adds tension and snap, enhancing clarity and note separation across the fretboard. An ebony fingerboard contributes a smooth, fast feel with added brightness and definition, while the 12" radius and medium-jumbo frets allow for clean bends and consistent playability. Mother-of-pearl Neo-Classic thumbnail inlays and Luminlay side dots ensure clear visibility in any playing environment. Bigsby B6GP Vibrato and Premium Hardware for Expressive Performance A Bigsby B6GP string-thru vibrato tailpiece provides smooth, controlled pitch modulation, adding subtle movement or more pronounced shimmer without disrupting tuning stability. The Space Control bridge with a pinned ebony base ensures solid intonation and sustain, while Grover Imperial tuners offer precise tuning and a distinctive visual touch. A bone nut enhances resonance and tuning consistency, and gold hardware throughout reinforces both durability and the Falcon's unmistakable aesthetic. A Limited-Edition Ode to an Iconic Gretsch Hollowbody Design With its darkly elegant Nightbird Emerald nitrocellulose finish, gold plexi pickguard and iconic Falcon styling, the G6136TG-58 Vintage Select '58 Custom Falcon stands as a bold interpretation of a Gretsch classic. Every element-from its construction to its appointments-supports a guitar that is as visually commanding as it is sonically versatile. It delivers the unmistakable Falcon experience with a refined edge, built for players who want clarity, character and stage presence in equal measure.
