The Gretsch Guitars Synchromatic Falcon hollowbody single-cut with Bigsby electric guitar brings the legendary Falcon's visual flair and signature tone into the modern era. A 2.5" deep laminated maple body and Semi-Arc bracing design give this instrument a bold acoustic presence, while the arched top and gold hardware push its stage appeal to new heights. Players looking for a guitar that stands out visually and sonically will find the Synchromatic Falcon delivers both. The ebony fingerboard, Hi-Fidelity Filter'Tron pickups and Bigsby vibrato tailpiece all combine for an expressive playing experience that works as well for intricate single-note runs as for lush chords and atmospheric effects.
Hi-Fidelity Filter'Tron Pickups Add Clarity and Bite
Two Hi-Fidelity Filter'Tron pickups sit at the heart of the Synchromatic Falcon's sound. These pickups use dual coils and a special design to cut unwanted noise while preserving crisp attack and touch sensitivity. The result is an electric guitar that keeps each note defined, even when using drive or modulation pedals. Players can use the three-way toggle to switch between bright bridge tones, warm neck sounds or a blend of both, giving every riff and chord a sharp, articulate edge.
Bigsby B60 Vibrato and Adjusto-Matic Bridge Enhance Expression
The Bigsby B60 V-Cutout vibrato tailpiece pairs with an Adjusto-Matic bridge anchored to an ebony base. This setup lets players bend notes and chords for classic pitch effects without sacrificing tuning stability. The secured bridge stays in place, so the strings return to pitch after each use. This hardware adds a distinct shimmer to chords and gives single-note lines a vocal quality, making nuanced expression part of every performance.
Controls Offer Precise Tone Shaping
With master volume, master tone, and individual pickup volume controls, the Synchromatic Falcon offers detailed command over every sound. A treble-bleed circuit in the master volume keeps high frequencies clear, even at lower settings. Players can quickly balance the pickups and find the right mix for solos, rhythm parts or effects-heavy sections. The G-Arrow knobs and intuitive layout mean adjustments can be made on the fly, without losing focus on playing.
Laminated Maple Body and Ebony Fingerboard Increase Durability
The laminated maple body resists warping and stands up to changes in humidity, making the guitar reliable in different environments. An ebony fingerboard adds strength and a slick feel, while the genuine bone nut and gold hardware are both functional and resilient. Multi-ply binding protects the edges, and the included deluxe hardshell case guards the instrument during travel. Every material was chosen to ensure the guitar lasts through years of regular use.
Player Experience on the Synchromatic Falcon Model
Serious players who want a stage-ready guitar with high visual impact will appreciate the Synchromatic Falcon's build and sound. The balanced weight, responsive pickups and expressive hardware make it a strong choice for those who demand both style and substance. Each feature supports confident, expressive playing on stage or in the studio, ensuring the guitar's unique voice always cuts through the mix.
