  • The Gretsch White Falcon is a visually distinctive guitar commercially introduced in 1955 by Gretsch. While it has seen vast and substantial changes to its body shape and features through the years, and is currently offered in several styles, the White Falcon has always maintained a striking and unmistakable presence and has become a highly recognized piece of Rock history. The White Falcon is best known for its large 17-inch size and distinctive appearance, with gleaming white paint, copious gold trim, and a falcon in mid-flight engraved on the gold pickguard.
  • La White Falcon est une des nombreuses guitares Gretsch. Elle fut mise en vente en 1955 et rencontra dès lors un grand succès. Elle est considérée par de nombreux guitaristes comme la plus belle guitare du monde . Elle est habituellement composée d'un manche en érable et de touche en ébène . La Gretsch White Falcon est un instrument légendaire prédestiné aux sonorités country & rockabilly, mais cette guitare à double pan coupé est tout aussi remarquable pour les riffs rock style AC/DC. La guitare est laquée complètement en blanc, l'accastillage doré affine le tout et la vibration est assurée naturellement par un incontournable Bigsby. Plaisir assuré malgré son prix estimé à 17 000 USD.
  • La White Falcon è un leggendario modello di chitarra prodotto dalla Gretsch, storica casa produttrice americana di strumenti musicali fondata nel 1883 da un artigiano immigrato dalla Germania e oggi di proprietà della Fender. La White Falcon è tornata di gran moda tra gli anni ottanta e gli anni novanta, quando è stata usata da Malcolm Young degli AC/DC, da Charile Burchill dei Simple Minds, da Chris Cheney dei The Living End e da John Frusciante (che ne possiede un rarissimo esemplare) nel video "Californication" dei Red Hot Chili Peppers. Viene utilizzata anche dal protagonista dell'anime Beck Mongolian Chop Squad,Koyuki,come chitarra per imparare a suonare. L'attuale catalogo Gretsch comprende, oltre alla White Falcon, anche la Black Falcon e la Silver Falcon, ognuna con diverse opzioni di configurazione
