General

Celebrating 140 years of existence, Gretsch release the 140th Double Platinum Collection G6136T-140 LTD: a highly exclusive version of the famed Falcon. This legendary semi-acoustic guitar features an exquisite two-tone nitro finish, where the front sports a Stone Platinum paint-job while the back comes dipped in Pure Platinum. This limited edition includes a G6242L deluxe hardshell case but act fast if you want one because only so many will ever be made.

The G6136T-140: An Extra-Iconic Falcon

Outfitted with a solid Adirondack red spruce top, the 140th Double Platinum Falcon shapes full-range sound along with extra acoustic headroom and enhanced resonance, something that can be heard before it's even plugged in. The overall sound is packed out with beautifully clear trebles and satisfyingly deep lows, where the dark ebony fretboard subtly emphasises the basses and the set-in maple and laminated maple body guarantee the attack needed for nice-and-tight tone.

More Sustain, Less Feedback

As soon the G6136T-140 LTD is plugged in, a pair of new FT-67 Filter’Tron humbucker pickups fire up to deliver fully adaptable tone that can then be tweaked to taste via four trusty pots and the 3-way pickup switch. Meanwhile, the ML-style body bracing not only ensures increased sustain but less unwanted feedback, preparing this celebratory semi-acoustic guitar for riveting live performances. For Bigsby fans, Gretsch have even mounted a B6CP String-Thru tailpiece, plus a set of Grover Imperial locking tuners for bang-on tuning stability.
