Gretsch G7593 Black Falcon

Introduced in 1954 as the 6136, the original Gretsch White Falcon was “simply the most beautiful guitar in the world” according to the company literature of the day. It took the company until the 1990s to offer this iconic guitar in what is now equally iconc black – et voila, the Black Falcon!

With its copious amounts of 24k gold-plated hardware, ebony fretboard, multilayer white Duco finish, multiple gold sparkle binding and inlays, it is no less awesome than its slightly more famous sister model!

The guitar is in excellent condition with only normal playwear. Includes original hardshell case.
